    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harrison, Barclay, Randolph, Caldwell, Edwards, Wilcox Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jhh.2ACIB/3650.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: This is from a book, Sketches of the Moon and Barclay Families, compiled by Anna Mary Moon, c.1939. The book is a listing of many of the descendants of Thomas Barclay, father of Elizabeth Mease Barclay. Elizabeth married Peyton Randolph Harrison, son of Carter Henry Harrison and Susanna Randolph. They lived at "Clifton," a plantation in Cumberland Co., VA. In the early 1800's, Peyton moved his family, wife and children (and slaves) to Kentucky as did his older brother, Robert Carter Harrison. Here are the children of Peyton Randolph Harrison and Elizabeth Mease Barclay. They married Jan. 1, 1795, in Surry Co., VA. All the children were born in Virginia, in Cumberland Co., from what I can tell. 1. Thomas Barclay Harrison, b. Nov. 2, 1795 2. Eleanor Susannah Harrison, b. June 5, 1797. She married Benjamin Franklin Edwards. 3. Carter Henry Harrison, b. Sept. 30, 1798 4. Robert Carter Harrison, b. April 30, 1800 5. Peyton Randolph Harrison, b. May 30, 1803, died Oct. 2, 1804. 6. Louise (Louisa) Ann Harrison, Oct. 24, 1805. She married David Caldwell and then David's nephew, Austin Caldwell. She died sometime after 1877. 7. Robert Peyton Harrison, b. May 9, 1807, died Sept. 16, 1885, in Flatonia, Fayette Co., TX. He married three times and had at least 13 children. I am descended from him and his first wife, Almira Clementina Wilcox. I have read in a book on Thomas Barclay that Elizabeth bore 13 children, but was only survived by two. Certainly Peyton was only (apparently) survived by two children as well. I will email the Logan Co., KY, Genealogical Society to see if I can get some death dates for the other children.
