    2. Nina Harkey
    3. Hello All, SMITH is of course a name I have been hunting for a while but making headway. I am having trouble getting anywhere on SARAH REBECCA HARRIS. Sarah Rebecca Harris b. 07 May 1838 in Alabama d. 28 Jan 1908 in Pope County, Arkansas married (in Corinth, Alcorn County, Mississippi) Lewis Marshall Smith b. 18 Oct 1834 in Corinth, MS d. 26 Jan 1904, Pope County, AR Mississippi Marriages, 1776-1935 Record Name: Sarah R. Harris Spouse: Lewis Smith Marriage Date: 06 Jun 1858 County: Alcorn Lewis Marshall smith shows in Tishomingo census for 1840 and 1850. By 1860 ha and Sarah married and moved to Yell County, AR. I am finding nothing that might lead me to Sarah Harris's parents. I have looked in Tishomingo and surrounding counties but nothing reliable has presented itself. There are some HARRIS possibilities I have found on the Tishomingo web site. Anyone have HARRIS in Tishomingo that might have a Sarah? Rumor has it her grandmother was Indian. No idea if on the maternal or paternal side. The Smith children proved it and received land in Oklahoma. There is question of whether Cherokee or Choctaw. I have not located the papers yet. Ideas anyone? Nina
