I had family in Bedford County, TN during the subject period. I am related to the Drydens, Guests, Musgraves, Forbes, O'Neals as well as the Harrisons. It has been some time since I looked at the Harrisons in depth in Bedford County but I believe several were probably offsprings of Barzilla and Ann Harrison including my own ancestor.
