Harris you speak of above was in my husband's family line. A brother to his Nathaniel A. Harris. I have never been told that Pinckney was married but then maybe it has been forgotten. Pinckney shows up in the 1860 and 1870 census with his father's family. To date I have not found him on the 1880 census and, of course, there is no 1890 census. I suppose it is possible that sometime shortly after 1870 this Pinckney left McNairy Co., TN., and married had several children, died young, and was brought back to McNairy Co., TN., for burial. That's about the best I can do for you. I just don't know for sure.
