I would appreciate any info you want to share with me. After I read your original post I went to Ancestry.com and looked at GA marriages to 1850 and found Eli Harrison and Martha Hadaway's marriage Aug 21, 1845. Thanks for that lead. I've never been able to find them in AL in 1850 or anywhere else for that matter. So far I have traced the Eli Harrison family from Leake Co MS to Shelby Co TX and gleaned all the info from the Shelby Co. TX website. I believe Josephine Harrison married G. H. Hall in 1880 after the census was taken. G. H. Hall (I've never seen his given name but believe it is Garland) and Josephine Hall are living in Panola Co. TX in 1900 census. G. H. Hall is the son of Abraham Hall who came to Shelby Co. TX in 1850. Abraham is burried there North Jericho Cemetery. G. H. Hall and Josephine had 12 children. In the 1900 Panola Co census she said she had 11 children and 8 were living. Those children were: Douglas, Donnie, Dennie, Ida, Ophelia, Emma, Harrison (my husband's grandfather), Lizzie She also said she had been married 21 years but she is still with her parents in 1880 Shelby co. TX so I believe they were married in 1880. No marriage records in Shelby Co prior to 1882 due to fire. In the 1910 Harris Co TX Census: Albert Roper J. P. Roper, wife married 2 yrs, 2nd marriage, 12 children born, living children not listed Lizzie Hall, step-daughter age 11 Elzie Hall, step-son age 7 I know for sure that Elzie Hall is the brother of Harrison Hall. I believe G. H. Hall must have died between 1903 and 1908. I found the following: Panola Co. TX website (Methodist Church – Gary) Vol. 5, p 596 Deed dated June 19, 1899, Filed Oct. 26, 1900 From: T.J. Hull and wife, N.A. Hull – 1 acre, more or less To: R.H. Nash, G.H. Hall and G.E. Ramsey, Trustees of Methodist Church at Gary, Panola Co,, Texas) I believe Harrison Hall is living in Shelby Co. TX in 1910 boarding in Joseph Alford's house along with 7 other young men. His age is listed as 24 and he should be 17. Harrison Hall married Bertha Robertson in Vivian Caddo Co LA about 1913. They later divorced. That is why I don't have much info on the Hall and Harrison family. My mother-in-law, daughter of Harrison and Bertha Hall is 90 and with this recent info I've found we are going to try to give her memory a boost. Thanks Hannah
