I just looked in my book Annals of Tazewell County, by Harman and it mentions a Clamantine Harman married John Christian January 7, 1857, Vol II, page 17. In Vol I page 146, it shows Guy T. Harrison married Nancy (spelled) Bruster 10 Mar 1850 by David Payne There are several references to Harrison, Cartmill, & Brewester in this book. Also purchased through the Tazewell County Historical Society. Betty -----Original Message----- From: C.
