Willlie, Yes, My John was the BROTHER to William Grancier Harrison. There are several different John's in the Harrison line. These Harrison's could be largley noted for the use of repeating names, (more so than other families I've researched!) There were many John's & Mary's as well as others. Makes for lots of fun researching!!

I think they are different John Harrisons. My John Harrison was born in 1827 in Coffee Co., AL. He married Sarah ?. She was born in 1826 in AL. This John Harrison's father was William Grancer Harrison born 1789 in SSC and died 1860 in AL. Who are the ancestors of your John Harrison? Sincerely, Shelah Dallas, TX

Peg, In reading your questions about Harrison book, I noticed the HALLs in your listing. Hence I have a question for you. Do you have an Irvin HALL in your Coffee County family? He married Bertha B. TOMBERLIN in Coffee Co, Jan 6, 1910. They had at least one son, but I don't know what the name is. However, I also noticed in the Coffee Co. Marriage Records that there is also a listing of Irving Hall married to Nettie Flowers 6/22 1910. I also have Elizabeth Hall, born 1861 died 1918 and marrying John W. REYNOLDS.

Ms. Elizabeth Ballard was my teacher in the 8th grade in Opp over in Covington County. She was a sweet and beautiful lady, and though she never knew it, one of my first loves. Back in 1953 the old Ballard's bridge was located slightley down stream from the present one and was made of wood. It was made in an arch that was exceedingly high for a bridge. It had been there a long time and much of it was rotten and many boards were missing and broken. Crossing it was an adventure that I've never quite gotten over a half century later. My father would drive a wagon loaded high with cotton over it on the way to the gin in Kinston and when he got the wagon to the very apex of the arc he would halt the mules and rest them before taking the downward side of the old black/grey bridge. For a young boy sitting on top of the cotton and looking down into the muddy swirling water so far below was tramatic enough but the bridge also constantly swayed back and forth. I believe that my appreciation for our modern bridges may be more than folks who never rode a wagon pulled by mules over Ballard's bridge. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.(:>) If someone speaks to Ms. Elizabeth Ballard ask if she has a photo of the old bridge to donate to the Pea River Historical Society Willie in California ----- Original Message ----- From: <kwanja@alaweb.com> To: <ALCOFFEE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 2:56 AM Subject: [ALCOFFEE] Re: Ballard's Bridge > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3R.2ADE/640.1 > > Message Board Post: > > Ballard Bridge is on Highway 134 from Enterprise on Highway 134 west heading towards Opp. Ballard's Bridge is located between Ino and Perry's Store Community.

I would venture to guess, that if you stop to visit the family that the story of the hill and bridge will be shared with you, as it was with me by his daughter. She said her father made housecalls in his buggy. There is a nice home, an old barn and a second home used for storage. Please tell her that I said hello if you should call or visit. If I recall correctly, I believe the daughter's name is Elizabeth Ballard. She is a retired school teacher, and a most wonderful conversationalist.

Fred the son of George was only 7 in 1920 and there was a Fred that m Elsie Matthews in 1930, are they the same person or was there another Fred Grimes ( just had a thought my Father would have been 19, but i don't think it was him , if so no one remembers if he did, they said he was m in Dale Co., 1st marriage and i found that marriage record) so does anyone know who that Fred is ?? O.C.

What is the "Harrison Legacy" book? William Grancer was my 3 great grandfather through Elizabeth Harrison Hall, Sallie Hall Fleming and John Fleming who was my grandfather. This sounds really interesting. Where can one get a copy or read it? Is it in a library somewhere? I didn't see it at Pea River. Are any of these families going to be in the Coffee County book? Do you know how much about them will be included? I wrote a couple articles for the Geneva County book on Elizabeth and Sally. Elizabeth lived just south of the Coffee County border for a good period of time. Did you submit anything? Which line do you descend from? Talk about questions! Would love to make a connection. I tried the address in the message but it didn't go, so I'm having to post on the message board. There was no name on the message. Anyone else ever heard of the book or connect to me? I also come down from Gasaway Fleming through Duncan (JD) who married Sally Hall. It appears that a number of the Hall children married Gasaway Fleming's children.
