Ira, I know that I have probably expressed this thought before, but something about this particular family history really bothers me. There just isn't enough information to link both Claiborns together. They may be related but I haven't seen any conclusive proof. In the coming weeks I'm going to order a few of the microfilms available from Bibb County and find out if there was any other pertinent information besides from what I now have. I intended to do this long before now, but haven't had time. Also, the information regarding Daniel and Susan Harris more or less proves that Malinda Harris (who was married to Charles Kelley) was not a daughter of Claiborn. Although I don't have a will or probate record, the Confederate census states that Robert Marion Kelley's mother (Malinda) was the daughter of Daniel and Sarah Harris. Although I don't think the mother part was correct, I believe her mother was in fact, Susan Harris. The Justice of the Peace who married them was Benjamin F. Harris; his residence can be proven through land and census records. He lived closer to Shelby County than where Claiborn lived. Actually, I haven't figured out where CT Harris lived but I don't think it was anywhere close. Just let me know if you want copies of these records. Kris -----Original Message----- From: Ira L.
