Betty, Thanks for writing. I have the book on Tazewell County by Harmon. Clementine Harmon was married to Guy T. Harrison. He was born in 1805. His father was Thomas Harrison who married Hannah Dennis. I have Cartmills married to the Davidson and Peery Line. I also have the Comptons married to Cartmill. Like you, I think we must be related to the whole county. Just any clues will be appreciated.
