Can anyone shed any light on the connections between the HARWELL Family, the RILEY Family, and the WESTMORELAND Family? The following are pieces that I just can't seem to put together: SARAH NARCISSUS "SALLIE" RILEY married BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HARWELL in 1866 in Lafayette Co. Sallie's mother was SARAH WORKE of Iredell Co., North Carolina. [I'm trying to find who Sarah Worke's parents were.] On the Itawamba Co., Miss. 1860 Census in Richmond, two of Sallie's siblings, JANE and JOHN RILEY are living with ROBERT and DORCUS WESTMORELAND . JESSE RILEY (Sallie's father) is living in Van Buren in Itawamba Co.with Sallie and 2 other siblings. ROBERT and DORCUS KERR WESTMORELAND were married in Mecklenberg Co., North Carolina with ALEXANDER WORKE listed as a bondsman. What is the connection between these two families? Next puzzle: How was NATHANIEL HARWELL(who died in Lafayette Co. in 1856) kin to HENRY HARWELL (Ben's father)? Was he an uncle? Nathaniel's grandaughter, MARY JANE RILEY, married WM. J. HARWELL in 1856: Was she related to Sallie Riley? Ben Harwell had a sister named MANDY L. HARWELL RILEY. Was this the same AMANDA HARWELL who married THOMAS RILEY in 1870 in Lafayette County? Lastly, does anyone know where HENRY HARWELL (died ca 1873 in Lafayette County) is buried? Most of the Harwells are buried at Dallas or at the Hipp Cemetary and have gravestones. But I can't find Henry. I sure would appreciate some help. Seems like the more I search (going on 30+ years) the more confusing this becomes. Jo Bennett

Surnames: HARMON, STEPP, WELLS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AKB.2ACI/861.862.872.1.1.1 Message Board Post: It was my grandmother, Millie Stepp Simpson, who told me years ago that her mother, Amanda, was a Harmon from Mississippi and that they were of German descent. The only Amanda Harmon I have ever found who was the right age to be my g-grandmother and who lived in Mississippi was the daughter of Matthew S. Harmon of Lafayette Co. My g-grandmother, Amanda M. Harmon, aged 25, was in Lee Co., MS in 1880 married to John W. Wells. Wells died in the mid 1880's and Amanda married R.F. Step(p) in Union Co., MS in 1888. They were still in Union Co. in 1900 where it shows she had 4 living children out of 4 total children: the son by Wells b. 1883, and three by Stepp b 1891, 1893, 1897. They all moved to Van Zandt Co., TX by 1910. On that census, Amanda had only 2 surviving children out of 7 total, my grandmother, Millie, and my g-Uncle Arnold who died childless in the 1940's. Amanda died about 1912. Amanda's son John Wells had married her step-daughter, Emma Stepp, in Union Co., MS in 1901. Emma Stepp Wells, widowed with three children, was living with Amanda and R.F. Stepp in in VZ Co., TX in 1910. It bothers me that I can't account for the twenty year gap in Amanda's whereabouts between the 1860 census in Matthew Harmon's household and the 1880 census. On the 1910 census it shows that the marriage to R.F. Stepp was her second marriage, his third, which matches what I have on them. If she married John Wells much before 1880, it seems they would have had children sooner than 1883. Since she would only have been 15 or 16 by the 1870 census, and was presumably still single, I was surprised she wasn't still in her parents household. If you ever stumble across a record of her that would help fill the gap, please let me know. Ellen

I been unable to find any more information on neither one of them except that they married. Does anyone have these two in their tree or know anything about them

Have you checked the marriage books for the counties you mentioned in your previous query ahead of this one? Do you know her daughters married names, she could be living with them in the 1880 census. They are all on line in the USGenWeb Project. Check each county were you think she might have been. There are Harmons and Wells around Paris, Southwest Lafayette Co. also, Harmon Town in Northwest Lafayette Co. I suggest you check into this area for her. Also, the Harmon name is sometime mis-spelled as Harman. Amanda could be a Mandy. Hope this helps. Evie Crocker Paris , Lafayette Co.
