I'm posting my HARRIS brick wall again, just in case a new subscriber might be able to help. I've been tearing my hair out over my gggrandparents Susan HARRIS and Charles DALE for years now. Susan HARRIS was born about 1822, probably in Tennessee (maybe Kentucky). She married Charles C. DALE in Wilson County, Tennessee, on 27 October 1838. Thomas SCOTT signed the marriage bond. Susan and Charles had one daughter, Sarah (Sallie) Pitts DALE in Tennessee on 13 December 1839. They moved to Red River County, in northeast Texas, where another daughter, Susan L. DALE, was born (in Clarksville) on 17 June 1842. Susan Harris DALE died in 1842, according to a short bio of her daughter Susan DALE, at about the age of 20. Of course she doesn't show up on any census. On later censuses her daughters Sallie and Susan were divided over whether she was born in Tennessee or Kentucky. To complicate matters, other DALE men married other HARRIS women (at least one named Susan) in Tennessee (several in Wilson County) during this time period and also moved to northeast Texas. One of these is particularly interesting. John P. (possibley Pitts) DALE married Elizabeth HARRIS in Wilson County, Tennessee, on 24 June 1840. Charles C. DALE signed the marriage bond. I don't know what the relationship was between the HARRIS women or the DALE men, but both families settled in Red River County, Texas. John and Charles DALE bought land together in Clarksville, Texas, and went into business (dry goods) together for a while. Charles C. DALE was a tailor, and was born in Maryland. John P. DALE was born in either Tennessee or Maryland. He is said to have had a brother named Thomas. Does anyone have information about these HARRIS women who married these DALE men in Wilson County, Tennessee? (And who the heck is Thomas SCOTT?)
