Hi, Does anyone have connections or info on this family?? Thanks, Rick Russell I have some information from the Attala County court records, and the way I understand it is that Ewing Harris, father of John A., Serena, Sarah and Nannie Harris, died before 1860. Apparently his wife Mary Day Harris died previously? When he died the older kids Serena and John A. Harris chose Benjamin F. Brown as guardian and he was also appointed guardian of Nannie Harris. William Sanders was appointed guardian of Sarah Harris. William M. Russell (age 27, my gggrandfather) then married Serena Harris, apparently only 14 years old, and also took over guardianship of her brother John A. Harris. FIRST GENERATION 1. Ewing W.
