I am looking for info on Charles "C. T." Harris of Wilson Co., later of Henry Co., TN. He was probably around for most of the 19th century. I believe he was md. more than once. His daughter Margaret Amanda Harris married Adam A. Hope in Henry Co. in the 1850s. Her sister (Martha F.?) married Robert A. Carson of Henry Co. After the deaths of Martha (ca 1870?) and Adam (1864), Robert married Margaret and they moved to TX then AR wuth their blended family. When Margaret died, Robert had her place of birth, Wilson Co., TN, put on her tombstone. What was C.T.'s ancestry? Where did he come from? Are there any records of him and/or his ancestors in Wilson Co.? Thanks for any help! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
