      Elizabeth Graves (35) was born 27 Aug. 1820 in Franklin Co., TN, died 18 Oct. 1870, and was buried in Cobb/Love Cem., near Medon, TN, in Madison Co. She married James Harrison, son of John Harrison. He was born about 1818 in NC.

      James Harrison was granted letters of administration for the estate of his deceased father, John Harrison, in the March term, 1846, of Madison Co., TN Court, as well as guardianship of minors of John Harrison, viz., Andrew J., Robert T., Sarah J., Francis M., Charles L., and Thomas J. L./C. Harrison, in the August term, 1847, of the County Court.

      According to the Federal Census records of 1850 and 1860 of Madison Co., TN, Civil District 2, with the post office at Medon, TN, James Harrison, a wagon/carriage maker, and Elizabeth, his wife, had children: John T., William F. (or H.?), Sarah E., James A., Agnes M., and Margaret. In 1870 the Madison Co., TN, census of the 2nd Dist., post office Medon, TN, showed James Harrison, a miller, with wife E., and children named only by initials of A., a 22 yr. old male, A., an 18 yr. old male, M., 23 yr. old male, J., 20 yr. old female, and F., 24 yr. old male. All were born in TN.

      James Harrison may have married a second time after Elizabeth's death, since the 1880 census for Gibson Co., TN, Civil Dist. 24, lists a James Harrison, miller, at the right age, b. NC, whose wife, Minerva, is 48, born in TN. In this household no. 31, p. 374-B of the census, are also Margaret Griffey, dau., age 28, b. TN, father b. in NC, and mother in TN. Others listed are Charles Griffey, 6, grandson, b. TN; Johnnie Griffy, 1, granddau., b. TN; and Margaret Reed, 62, sister-in-law, b. TN.

      This seems to indicate that James secondly married Minerva ------, who was born about 1832 in TN, and he moved to Gibson Co., TN. Living next door in 1880 was a James Harrison, age 36, miller, b. TN (whose father was b. NC, and mother b. TN), his wife Fannie, and their 3 children Alice, age 10, Phillip, age 5, and Duncan, age 4. (R-11)
