I would like to correspond with anyone doing research on or descendants
of the following persons:
Alfred (Alford) C. Harrison

and wife
Orpha L. Eagan.
b. 10 Mar 1823, TN
d. 29 Apr 1879, Fannin Co., TX
buried at Whiterock cemetery, Fannin Co, TX
Daughters of A. C. and Orpha L. Harrison:

Theodorus Harrison m. Drusilla Adaline Young

Thaddeus S. Harrison m. Permelia Newkirk
before 1884 [they lived in Fannin co. at that time]
place of marriage is unknown
Permelia is believed to have been a Cherokee Indian
I found a recent floral arrangement on the grave of A. C. Harrison in the
Gum Springs Cemetery so I am assuming that some descendants are still in
the area. A cemetery book in the Bonham City Library listed A. C.
Harrison as being buried beside his daughter Minerva and her husband
Samuel W. Storey. I found his tombstone but did not locate their stones.
I neglected to copy the information of their dates of birth and death
from the book as I meant to take photos in the cemetery.
I have information on the descendants of Theodorus (Theodore) Harrison
that I would share.
