Surname: NELSON, HARRISON
-------------------------
Is this interesting? I have a 1880 Census for Lauderdale Co., Tn. for John Harrison/Mary Frances Nelson showing children Dempsy age 5, Ida age 3, son Allie age 1.
Also have indications may be a son Frank who may have married Cora Kelter. also have indications may have a daughter Pearlie Mae Harrison married to Thomas Chester Forsyth. I am researching the Nelson/Harrison
connection as my great grandmother was probably a sister to the John Harrison and her husband (my great grandfather may have been a brother to Mary Frances Nelson.
