The message above I found particularly interesting since my wife's ancestor Lavinia (WITT) SULLINS (d. c.1775, Halifax Co., VA) was the daughter of Charles & Lamina (HARBOUR) WITT. I appreciate receiving the new information about the children of Gideon Edwards and Sarah (PENN) COATS. According to the book, _The HARBOURs in America_, by Louis J. WILLIAMS, 1982, pp. 115, Rebecca Tillman (COATS) HARBOUR was the daughter of Simeon COATS. On 25 Nov 1842 Rebecca married Pleasant Wesley HARBOUR, (born 30 October 1813, died circa 1900), son of John (Franklin) HARBOUR and Jane (or Jean or Jennie) (MOORE) HARBOUR. Following is a list of the children of Pleasant & Rebecca (COAT[E]S) HARBOUR: 1 Permilia HARBOUR was born on 9 Jan 1844. She married Jerry WILSON at Piedmont, Alabama. 2 Aramanta C. HARBOUR was born on 8 Jan 1846. She probably died young. 3 John Augustus HARBOUR was born on 15 Oct 1849. He probably died young. 4 Adolphus Rolen HARBOUR was born on 29 Aug 1853 at Goshen Valley (now Piedmont), Alabama. He married Philo Brown THOMPSON on 6 Oct 1875. He died on 23 Aug 1934 at Rome, Georgia, at age 80. 5 James Wesley HARBOUR was born on 28 Aug 1855. He married Tallulah Kathleen BYRD on 3 Jul 1884. He died on 13 Dec 1935 at age 80. 6 Ellen HARBOUR married Charles Norton THOMPSON. 7 Sarah Jane (Sally) HARBOUR married Thomas Chesterfield COWAN. Printed on: 29 May 2000 Prepared by: Michael S.
