Boy, you guys are going to work me on this offer! Please don't hold my feet to the fire before Christmas ... please(?) ;o) I'll get it! I know there are Hendricks, Raines (early settlers), and I am not sure about the Matthews and Harrison. Any additional info ... like dates and additional names always helps you know you're on the right track. There are a dozen or so sections that contain the name "Ritter"! Additional info just helps one not spend time on the wrong tree.

Sharon, do you have any first names for your Harrisons? I find an Isham Harrison, (b. 1788,SC - d. 9/30/1863, Monroe Co., MS) on Cripple Creek Plantation in SC, son of James Harrison of Greenville Co., SC and Elizabeth Hampton (1758-1799). Isham married Harriet Kelly in 1810, (b. 1789, SC, - d. 7/1/1856, Aberdeen, MS) dau of Gershon Kelly and a relative of General Moses Kelly. Migrated from SC through AL and owned plantations there, next to Noxubee Co., MS (south of Monroe and Lowndes). Moved to Monroe Co. in 1840's. Isham and Harriet are buried in the Old Historic Cemetery in Aberdeen in the Harrison family plot. They had 13 children, 7 sons and 6 daughters. 5 sons served the CSA. children and spouses listed. If you need more, let me know. Other names mentioned through marriage to 13 children and some grands are: Dr. Baylis W. Earle, Evans (x 2), Whitfield, Fort, Sykes, Ragsdale, Greer, Jack (moved to Texas, m. Laura Harrison), McFarland Bradford, Saunders, Mc Donald (married Thomas Harrison, Brig. Gen. CSA war), Dr. Thomas Barron Dr. Matthew Clay, III (kin to Saunders) Dr. Wells A. Thompson The Harrison family was staunch Baptist and there was a church built on Isham's plantation, Greenwood. In 1988, the church was still in use by a black congregation with a black cemetery.Hope this is the correct family. There is a good migration path to follow back for others with the name. Info submitted by Jerry Anderson Harlow. Jerry is an active member of the Monroe Co. Historical Committee and I can put you in touch with her, if you like.
