Samantha Jane (Cole) Harris was born 19 July 1846 in Chambers County, Alabama to Jesse Cole and wife Marjorie Ann (Colley) Cole. Samantha Jane Cole married Jordan Thornton Harris on 24 December 1865 in Chambers County, Alabama and they are known to have had eleven children who were all born at or near Delta, Clay County, Alabama. Jordan Thornton Harris was born 15 February 1843 in Chambers County, Alabama and died 11 August 1914 in Clay County, Alabama almost certainly at or near Delta. His widow, Samantha Jane (Cole) Harris died 16 July 1927 almost certainly at or near Delta, Clay County, Alabama. Jordan & Samantha are both buried in Blacks Chapel Methodist Church Cemetery which is located near Delta, Clay County, Alabama. The informant on the death certificate "H.F. Harris" is likely a son whose name was Huel Thornton Harris (18 Nov. 1873 - 21 July 1950). He married Susan A.J. Sims on 1 Aug. 1889. Two sibling/brothers of Huel Thornton Harris also married into the same Sims line. Thanks for posting the information from the death cert. Have included a bit more information for those who may be interested. Charles E.
