Hi, My brick wall is Harrison Westmoreland b. Harlan, Harlan Co., KY about 1872, died 19 Feb 1932 in Roane Co., TN. He married Elizabeth Cole in Roane Co., TN. I have no information on her and the census records show her born TN. On 1900 census, 3 children with 2 living in Roane Co., TN spelled Wesmoreland. On 1910 census, 8 children with 5 living in Roane Co. TN. 1920 missing, haven't found the family on any census. On 1930 census again living in Harlan Co., KY. Children were Ava, Sherman, Wesley, Arthur Alford (my grandfather)b. 22 Feb 1898 Rockwood, Roane Co., TN, Earnest b. Sep 1899, Bertha b. c 1902, Elijah (Lige) b. c 1907, and Genna Mae b. c 1909. All the children were born in TN according to the census records. I know Harrison had a brother named Perry and a cousin named Sam that also were in Roane Co., TN with him. The 1910 census says he is a miner in the 'oar' mines. So far this is my only connection to Harlan County and I can't find it anywhere except on his marriage application. Any help finding him greatly appreciated. Sandy
