Gail, I am not sure if I am sending this to you or everyone, but here goes. My surnames for Harrison Co. are: Van Wert, Hanks, Strength, Uden, Crouse and Jordan. On my wife's side: Starr, Hart and Hughes. My great grandfather Van Wert came to Harrison Co after the civil war from Louisiana where he married a Heath. Before that he was in S.Car. and was born in N.Y. My Hanks line came from N. Car. and married an Uden. I think Jordan who married a Hanks(my grandfathers sister) may have also come from N. Car. but not at all sure. My maternal grandmother was an Uden. I believe the Uden's came from Germany to Harrison Co. around the 1850's. My grandfather(Van Wert) was born in Marshall and married a Strength. The Strength's came from Little Rock around the 1870's or 1880's and before that were from Georgia. The Starr's moved to Marshall from Nacogdoches in the 1870's. My wife's grandmother married a Hart who was from Marshall but I don't know when the Hart's first arrived or from where they came. My wife's mother married a Hughes who was from Marion Co. A lot of open ended info. If anyone has anything to help tie it down I would appreciate the help. Jerry Van Wert
