Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jhh.2ACIB/4589.1 Message Board Post: The information I found was written by Captain Thomas D. Jeffries, 56th Virginia Infantry. It is about one page in length and I am not sure if there is enough space provided here to relate the story. Dabney Carr Harrison was born in Albemarle County, VA in 1830, the son of Rev. Peyton Harrison. For more than two centuries, his ancestors and their collateral kindred have been identified with our American history. Two were signers of the Declaration of Independence. Harrison was educated at Princeton, and afterwards studied law at the University of Virginia. He soon abandoned this profession, and entered upon the study of theology. While in his 27th year he was chosen chaplain of the University of Virginia. In 1861, Harrison lost his cousins, Maj. Carter H. Harrison, Holmes and Tucker Conrad, and his brother, Peyton Randolph Harrison, on the plains of Manassas. By vigilant personal exertions, he raised a company of infantry, of which he was chosen Captain. They entered the ser! vice of the Confederacy and were assigned to the 56th Virginia Regiment. They were mustered into service in Richmond and sent to Fort Donelson attached to Brig. Gen. Floyd's Brigade. They arrived shortly before battle and the February rains fell in torents, and driving snow and sleet followed. Before the battle, on Feb. 15th, Capt. Harrison assembled his men for prayer. They came and were soon followed by their comrades from other companies. He read aloud Psalm 26, with great fervor and power. "The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" As the skirmish line of the enemy was seen coming in the distance this outburst of courage and faith aroused the souls of the many men around him. He shouted "Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear, though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident." Again his earnest eyes lifted to the clear heavens and he said, "One thing h! ave I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple." Captain Harrison was standing near the threshold, and the hand of God was about to draw aside the separating veil. With dauntless heart and drawn sword he entered the conflict. At length he fell, and the fierce tide of battle swept on. His hat was pierced by four balls. One marred his splendid brow. A more deadly aim drove a ball through his right lung. There he lay suffering from his wounds an hour or more before he could be removed to the rear. He was finally removed by stretcher and carried to a waiting steamer and carried to Nashville, TN. He died on board the boat before reaching Nashville. His name was found on a list of soldiers who died in the Clarksville Female Academy here in Clarksville, TN. He was placed in a mass grave and forgotten until I discovered the list. Today there is a monu! ment to these dead Confederate heros and a bridge named in their honor called "The Confederate Soldiers Memorial Bridge." We were also able to place two large bronze tablets with these mens names on them located in Riverview Cemetery. Respectfully submitted by Randy Rubel, Historian of Frank P. Gracey SCV Camp 225. --part1_90.31e4811e.2b701469_boundary--

    3. I checked my TN marriage CD covering 1851-1900. None could be found with this spelling. With the spelling of Swor, a number of marriages came up but all were in Henry Co. Henry is not a great distance from Montgomery. Were you looking for anybody specific in this time frame?

    1. Re: [TNMONTGO-L] Migration Path: Smith-Montgomery-Stewart cos, TN?
    2. I have not determined what brought the HARDIE family to Montgomery County. Thomas HARDIE was a miller. He moved to Smith County (actually a part that is now Trousdale) as a teenager or young adult. His grandparents (Henry FEATHERSTONE and Elizabeth MARSHALL) had moved to Smith Co from VA. When his father died (when Thomas was only 10) his mother stayed in VA for several years before joining her parents in TN. Thomas married and had 10 children,the last one in 1846. His wife died between 1846 and the 1850 census (Macon Co) and all of his FEATHERSTONE family connections had either died or left Macon Co. In 1853 he bought property in Montgomery County. One of his daughters married Michael SHRADER. Thomas HARDIE is listed on the 1860 census in Montgomery Co, in the 1870 census in Stewart Co, and in the 1880 census in Trigg Co (where the SHRADERS lived). Ida

    3. Col. John Hogan came in 1795 to Brush Creek, Montgomery Co., TN, from Orange Co., NC, to take up a PURCHASED military land grant. Probably Presbyterian. Reuben Holt, Sr. came in 1812 to Coon Creek, Montgomery Co., TN from Orange (now Alamance) Co., NC via Williamson Co., TN, where he had lived near a son; to work for Maj. John Baker, I THINK. Probably Primitive Baptist. James B. Norfleet [NOT, REPEAT NOT, Maj. James Norfleet] came in 1812 to Coon Creek, Montgomery Co., TN from Bertie Co., NC, probably at the invitation of his remote cousin, MRS. John Baker, nee Elizabeth Norfleet. Probably Methodist. ----Cleo, from Little McAdoo Creek.

    2. Jerree Where Red River and Sulphur Fork meet is right on the Montgomery Co and Robertson Co line. The property you are referring to could be in either county. Not much help. That county line runs north and south. Both counties border KY. T hat part of the line where the Red River and Sulphur Fork meet is about 8 miles south of the KY line. The Mont Co and Robertson Co line is define in that area by following the Red River from the north and following Sulphur Fork to the south. Otherwise the county line is fairly straight. William
