This is a compilation of historical and genealogical material
concerning the Harrison family of Phelps and Laclede counties in
Missouri. Assembled by Florence J. Malaney, the material
includes copies of family papers, 1860-1865, genealogical
research on the family by Clair V. Mann, n.d., and
correspondence with Robert K. Hooker, 1980.
James Berry Harrison brought his family to Missouri from South
Carolina in 1817 or 1818, settling at the confluence of Little
Piney Creek and the Gasconade River at what is now Arlington in
Phelps County. Harrison (1788-1842) built the first log cabin in
the area, which also served as county courthouse, post office,
and community meeting point. Harrison, who was quite prominent
politically, served as clerk of Crawford County, and was elected
to the Missouri legislature in 1826 and 1832.
His sons, John Brazil Harrison (1809-1860) and Benjamin Berry
Harrison (1818-1886), helped establish county governments in
Miller, Pulaski, and Laclede counties, as they were organized.
They were also, respectively, co-founders of the towns of
Tuscumbia and Lebanon. John Harrison married three times, last
to Martha Lewellyn Hyer of Lake Spring in Dent County, Missouri.
The Harrison family history, compiled by Florence J. Malaney for
the Laclede County Historical Society, incorporates copies of
several documents which pertain to various members of the
family. John B. Harrison's will is included, as is a typescript
of the Masonic rites held at his funeral in 1860.
There is also a typescript of a letter written by Martha Hyer
Harrison to her brother-in-law, Benjamin Harrison, after the
close of the Civil War. Benjamin, who sympathized with the
Confederacy, had moved his family to Red River County, Texas,
when the war broke out. His sizable land holdings in Laclede
County were later confiscated by a hostile county court. Martha
Harrison was also fighting to keep the court from seizing her
husband's estate, and she reported in the letter on the
machinations of the court. She also commented on the Union
troops who passed through Lebanon, and whose officers boarded at
her home.
The remainder of the Harrison family history is composed of
genealogical and historical material written by the late Clair
V. Mann, and correspondence with Robert K. Hooker of Washington,
D.C. Hooker is the grandson of Joseph Thomas Hooker, John B.
Harrison's business partner in a general store in Lebanon before
the Civil War.
Additional biographical information on the Harrison family can
be found in the Goodspeed's and Laclede County Historical
Society's histories. A daybook from the Harrison & Hooker store
at Lebanon, 1853-1854, has been microfilmed as Western
Historical Manuscript Collection-Rolla collection number R99.

This volume is a daybook/journal from one of the earliest
general stores in Lebanon, the seat of Laclede County, Missouri.
The proprietors were John B. Harrison (1809-1860) and Joseph
Thomas Hooker (1831-1894).
Laclede County was organized in 1849 from parts of Camden,
Pulaski, and Wright counties. The first county court selected a
site in Lebanon Township for the county seat, and the town of
Lebanon was platted in 1850. Located along the Springfield road,
Lebanon was a natural stop for travelers to and from
southwestern Missouri. The village grew into a prosperous
business center before the Civil War.
The proprietors of the H & H Store, John B. Harrison (1809-1860)
and Joseph Thomas Hooker (1831-1894) were members of pioneer
families in central Missouri. Harrison came to the state with
his family in 1818. He held several civil offices in Gasconade
and Miller counties, and was a founder of Tuscumbia, Missouri.
He led the survey team which laid out Lebanon, and received
several land grants in the area in 1852. Beginning in 1853 and
until his death in 1860, he operated a general store with Joseph
Thomas Hooker. Hooker then continued to run the store, perhaps
in partnership with his brother, until the Civil War, when he
left Lebanon to join the Confederate forces. Additional
biographical information can be found in the Goodspeed, Nyberg,
Gleason, and Laclede County Historical Society's histories of
the county. The December 1980 issue of the Laclede County
Historical Society's Newsletter, containing data on the Harrison
and Hooker families, is included in the Information Folder.
