Posted on: Harrison Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Harrison/914 Surname: HARRISON, DEBOARD, HOWLETT, VAUGHAN, VAUGHN ------------------------- I am researching Benjamin Franklin Harrison, b.1834 in Claiborne Co., Tenn. Father:Elias Harrison. Benjamin married Sallie DeBoard in 1859 in Pulaski, KY. They had children, including Truit Bascomb Harrison, b.20March1876. and resided in Limestone Co., Texas. The 1880 Texas census of Limestone indicated that Sallie had died and Benjamin(called Frank) had married Mary Young.Mary had some boys, then died, leaving Benjamin to tutor the children. One of the sisters of Truit, Kate, died at about 10 years of age. I have some Texas Court records re:will of the grandfather,Able DeBorde. Also court records requesting proof of expenses involved. Another child, Mary Ellie, married a D.G. Howlett in 1888, had a girl, then died the same year. A child called Lillian Howlett appears in the Limestone Co,Tex Census, boarding with relatives. What I am leading up to is the fact that a Thomas Charles Vaughn, b. 20March1876, has family lore identical to that of Truit Bascomb Harrison.........(circumstantial evidence) The documented register for draft in 1917 shows a Thomas C. Vaughn who lists Lillie Howlett as his next of kin. If any of the above comments sound familiar, please email me at: AVON938@aol.com (Anna Vaughn)
