It is reasonably certain that Nathan Barham married Elizabeth Harris, sister of my Arthur Harris and children of Joel Harris and Margory Cannaday. Joel Harris' first wife was Martha Barham. Martha's parents were supposedly James Barham and Mary Thorpe. The earlier of these folks were Quakers and some of these records can be found; however, later records of their descendants seem to be hard to find and identify as so many had similar names. Joel Harris' oldest child by his first wife married the sister of his second wife, Margaret Cannaday. It appears that Nathan Barham's son, Charles Newton Barham, married Rebecca J. Pegram and they can be found on the 1860 McNairy Co., TN., census with the next family being Rebecca's mother. Living with Rebecca Pegram is a John F. Barham. Nathan Barham is probably also the father of the 1860 D. H. Barham who is living next to J. B. Harris. Arthur Harris had a brother named Joel but since there is more than one Joel in McNairy Co., TN., it is hard to determine just which one is which. There are so many Harris families in McNairy Co., TN., that it is also hard to sort them out. Perhaps they are from the same line, but they certainly came from different places, such as the Gillum Harris who seems to have come from Kentucky. I guess that I just need to go to Guilford Co., NC., next time I'm out that direction and see what I can find.
