My gg-granduncle, Frank Harris, was on the 1860 census with Harriet Lines Poindexter, wife of John W. Poindexter (CSA, killed in the war). Also in the household was Lillian Jane Goldwire, who later married Dr. William James Berry Harrell, mayor of Bainbridge, GA. My gg-grandfather, Alexander Ewing Harris Jr., should have been there - but at 16, he might have been off elsewhere (haven't found him on any 1860 census). Frank Harris was later editor of the Ocala Banner, and one story states that he and his brother were raised by the Poindexters after they were orphaned. Their father, Alexander Ewing Harris Sr., was in the Seminole Wars. Their mother was Violet Alexander, who came over from Ulster. They came from Abbeville SC to Early Co. (later Decatur Co.). My gg-grandfather and Harrell were both in the 29th Battalion, GA Vol. Cavalry. We don't know the name of our gggg-grandfather Harris, who died in Abbeville. Jonathan Robinson and Sherrod McCall were best friends, who were involved in the founding of Tallahassee. Gadsden County was particularly important. We feel the more we can learn about the Lines and the Robinsons, the more we will be helped. Jonathan Robinson's only surviving child was Sarah Ann Robinson Lines. Harriet and Sarah Jane Lines were her first two children. Sarah Jane married John Wise Goldwire Jr., parents of Lillian Jane. Another note - a Jonathan Robinson was named as executor in William Wise's will, the Wise (died about 1816) who married Sarah Margaret Denmark - also Bulloch County. Seems likely this is the same Jonathan Robinson. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
