Does anyone have proof that Margaret (Peggy) Harrison b. 1818 Lincoln Co., NC, wife of Alfred F. Saddler (Sadler) was a child of Richard Harrison and Nancy Ann Martin of Lincoln Co., NC? If not, are there any other thoughts on who the parents were of the above Margaret Harrison? Any clue or thought would be most appreciated. Kathleen Burnett

Harrison and his wife Eliza C. Holt. They originally came from Cocke County, Tennessee but shortly before 1900 moved to Texas, primarily in Grayson County, Texas. They had 4 known children, Susan Belle Harrison, born 1894, James Marion Harrison born 1896 (both of these born in Tennesseee. Henry Deward Harrison born in 1899 and Lou Harrison (daughter) born abt 1902. Eliza C. Holt was my great grandfather's sister and I am trying to discover what happened to her, her husband and other members of that family. Charles and Eliza are listed in the 1910 census, but in Hopkins County, Texas. In 1918, both of their son's James and Henry were drafted into WWI and according to those papers, the family was living in Grayson County at that time in Gunter. By the 1920 census, Charles and Eliza and no where to be found and neither are daughters Susan Belle or Lou. James is also missing but shows up in the 1930 census. Henry is in Grayson County and he and his wife are buried there. Anyone connected to this line. I would like to hear from you and share info on the Holt line with you. Richard Holt

Was Thomas Harrison & family from Spartanburg Co, S.C.? I have found two daughters of Robert & Gracy Harrison since I posted my original posting. There was a daughter named Frances Harrison and a daughter named Susan. Both were born in Spartanburg Co, S.C. between 1806-1808. Both of the sisters stayed in Spartanburg, S.C. My direct Harrison line moved to Calhoun County, Alabama in the 1850's. After combing over the 1790 & 1800 Spartanburg Co, SC Census for my Robert Harrison & family, I know they had at least 8 children, but have only found possibly 4 of their children so far. I'm hoping I can find the other 4 during my lifetime ! What were the other names of Thomas Harrison's children from his Will? It would be nice to make a connection.... Thanks again, Peggy

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jhh.2ACIB/5546.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Toni Thanks for your reply. Brook was born in the west riding of yorkshire in Clayton by Bradford in Dec 1869 and his birth was registered in the first quarter of 1870. Where the family lived at that time. Shortly after which the family moved to Horton by Bradford which is in very close proximaty to Clayton. I have them in the 1871and 1881 English census. His mother was living alone in the 1891 english census widowed which i knew as his father died in October 1890. From that point I had lost Brook and decided to pop his name on ancestry .com and bingo up he came in the US for 1900,1910, 1920 and 1930 census. All in Paterson Passaic New Jersey. I have all these census now. But at this time no further US census is available. So I do not know when he died. In 1930 census he was 60 years old. So by 1940 census he could be dead. I have no idea when the US government will release the records of that census for viewing. I have tried the us social security death index but he does not appear on it. Most entries for it don't start in earnest till the mid to late 1970 there are a few for the 1960's but I hardly think he lived that long. He had two daughters and three sons Alice born 1899, Tom, Harry, Bessie and Raymond born 1911. His wife Molly I learnt from the 1900 census was previously married to someone named Sullivan and she has a daughter named Hannah(born 1890) from that union. Brook came to the US on the ship named Majestic arriving on the 18 of March 1891. By all accounts he traveled alone. With one piece of luggage! His wife Molly came to the US also from England but she came as an infant around 1868/9. Since I don't know her maiden name I haven't traced her actual arrival yet. I have not been successful in finding a marriage for this couple according to the 1900 census they had married two years previously so 1898. New Jersey records for that time are either non existant or not been kept or at this time not accessible! I can understand him coming to that area as Mills abounded and he was a weaver so he obviously knew what he was up to! No other known family member knew about Brook until I found him in the 1881 census and there is no one alive today that was even aware that he exsisted or immigrated for that matter! Thanks again for your reply. Looking forward to hearing from u! Moments From Margaret. PS Brooks parents married in March of 1867. Peter age given as 38 was actually 39 and Alice age 24 was actually 22! him a widower her a spinster. his first wife died as result of childbirth in 1865. Leaving him with 3 youngsters. Brook was the only known offspring of theirs. No others appear on census but doesn't mean that they didn't exsist just may not have survived! I definitely agree that Harrisons abound in yorkshire! Especially in Bradford and surrounds!
