Holmes in 1818. Notes: I don't have the exact microfilm number. Unfortunately, my record keeping skills are somewhat lacking. I've obtained almost all of the records locally through the Family History Center or local Genealogy Library and can get exact names and film numbers if necessary but the information should be fairly self explanatory. I haven't really gone any farther with researching the military aspect except to follow a couple of individuals like Daniel and Claiborn Harris and identify their migration patterns. At this point, I am fairly certain that Daniel Harris started out in Pendleton District / County, South Carolina; probably serving in the military which accounts for his being in the Mississippi territory as early as he was. From there, it appears that he resided in the territory (I think it was Adams County) and then eventually moved back (circa 1830) to Shelby and Jefferson County, AL. I will continue posting information at a later time. Kristina Harris
