Was Elizabeth DAMOURVELL's husband William HARRISON the brother of George and father of William, therefore grandfather of Susannah, Margaret, Sarah, and Mary? Was Elizabeth his only wife? We know that Samuel DAMOURVELL (DEMOVIL) married Hannah COX Lamkin, widow of George LAMKIN. They had a son, Samuel, and two daughters, Magdalene and Elizabeth. Each daughter married twice. By Jeremiah RUST, Magdalene had Samuel, William, Jeremiah, Hannah, and Martha RUST. By Christopher Dominick JACKSON, she had Julius, Thaddeus Augustine, and Christopher Maccabeus JACKSON. Does anyone have primary source evidence that Elizabeth DAMOURVELL Harrison Middleton had children? One might assume that Hannah COX's granddaughter Mary Middleton was her daughter, but it is also possible that Mary --- married a MIDDLETON. William A.
