Sharon and Don, Thanks so much for making your response to the list, as well as to me personally. On list activity generates much more information and opportunity than information passed in private conversations. Too many people post a request for info or assistance privately and it denies others the chance to share or find a link to their long lost past! As I said in my last post, as soon as I can get through the hectic schedule of this month, I'll do what I can for those who have requested a lookup. So far, last Thursday was my only night of the month to actually get to come after work (at 5). Hang in there, I'll be back!

My great-grandfather (Bezaleel Sterling Harrison) is buried in Monroe County. His parents were William Washington Harrison (born in Jefferson County, Alabama) and Susan Moore. Sterling's sisters and brothers were: George Washington Harrison (he is buried in Fort Worth) Paramelia Harrison Marey Elizabeth Harrison Lou Ella Harrison Maggie Harrison Synthia Belle Harrison Carrie Lee Harrison I understand some of the girls stayed in Monroe County William Washington Harrison 's parents were Thomas Harrison (born in Pendleton District, SC) and Permelia Praytor (born in Greenville District SC in 1804 and died in 1876 in Monroe County, Mississippi. My husband and I are both teachers so we know how hectic the end of the year activities are.
