Quote by Eugene Wiseman: "Patrick was mean to Hannah. The children ran him off and he started a second family in Missouri. This family then moved to Mountain Grove, Missouri in about 1875. Scott Patrick and Hannah L. Harrison-Hennessee's children were all born in Warren County and all died in Missouri, except Audley who died in Dallas County, Texas.

Patrick and Hannah's family was living in Van Buren County during 1870.

Notes:

There is much confustion about the actual date Audley M. Harrison died, however 11/30/1852 was confirmed by a photograph of his tombstone.

1. 11/30/1859 Eugene Wiseman said his toumbstone in Shellsford Cemetary, Warren County, Tennessee says Audley died November 30, 1859.

2. 11/30/1852 Eugene also states the will was signed on November 28, 1852 and was probated on December 6, 1852. He would have signed his will just before he died.
This researcher has only seen retyped copies of the document and will have to check the original.
*Will signed 11/28/1852 confirmed from copy of original in Wiseman book on 11/3/2006.

3. 11/30/1852 Warren County, Tennessee, Chancery Court Minute Book 3, page 97, which deals with the settlement of the estate of Richmond McGregor, indicates Audley died November 30, 1852. This researcher has only see retyped copies of the document and will have to check the original.

4. Bef. 3/28/1853 Warren County, Tennessee, Chancery Court Minute Book 1 (1847-1854), Page 484-486, which deals with the settlement of Audley Harrison's estate, indicates the court case was heard on March 28, 1853 and was agreed to and signed on December 20, 1853. Eugene Wiseman says the case was heard March 28, 1854 not 1853. Audley would have to have died before the case was heard. This date would have been just 4 months after Audley's death if he died 11/30/1852.

Tazewell County, Virginia was not originally the name of Audley's birth location, it was Botetourt County and the name of the county changed after his birth.

1820 Census indicates "Edly" (Audley Harrison) was living in Warren County, Tennessee with the following in his home: 1 male 26 - 45 (Audley was 29), 1 female 26 - 45 (Anna Elizabeth Dennis was 26), 2 males under 10 (George was 9 and Joseph was 3), 3 females under 10 (Nettie was 10, Anna was 5, Eleanor was 2) Saphronia's birth year was about 1819, and eaisly could have been born in 1820 after the Census. The Census indicates "Edly" was engaged in Agriculture.

Before 1820 Samuel Harrison moved from Tazewell County, Virginia to Warren County, Tennessee, where on July 9, 1825 he gave power of attorney to Audley Harrison, Sr. to "all rights to inheritance from my father Thomas Harrison, late of Tazewell County". This is listed in Tazewell County Deed Book 4, page 35.

On October 24, 1927, James Lockhart of Warren County, Tennessee, gave a power of attorney to Audley Harrison, Sr. to convey 120 acres of land, located on the headwaters of the Maiden Springs Fork of the Clinch River. The 120 acres was adjacent to land owned by William Williams, David Allen, and James Whitten. It is registered in Tazewell County, Virginia, Deed Book 4, Page 463 and in Order Book, page 273.

Documentation from "The Audley Harrison House" by the Warren County, Tennessee Historical Society. excerpt: "Audley Harrison died intestate (without a will) , according to court records." The McMinnville Heritage Alliance wrote in a letter in 2006 "The main cabin is The Harrison Cabin. It was relocated and reconfigured so it is not all original. The Jennings family, of course, lived there man years after Audley Harrison did. The O'neal cabin was the slave cabin (later the kitchen) for the main log house. It did not get the changes and preservation The Harrison Cabin did, Heritage Alliance does not sponsor the other cabin at the fair grounds - only The Harrison House."

One researchers records indicated Audley was a Justice of the Peace in the 4th Civil District, Warren County, Tennessee. This writer has been unable to verify that record.

1840 Census indicates Audley was living in Warren County, Tennessee with the following in his home: 1 male 50 - 60 (Audley was 50), 1 female 30 - 40 (Elizabeth Grove was 36), 1 male under 5 (Alexander was 2), 1 female 15 - 20 (Virginia was 15) 2 females 10 - 15 (Nancy was 13, Millie was 10) 1 female 5 - 10 (Hannah L. was 8) and 1 female under 5 (Julia was 1). The Slave Schedule shows they had 2 males who were 10 - 24, 1 female 36 - 55, 1 female under the age of 10 and the family was engaged in Agriculture.

1850 Census indicates Audley and Elizabeth were living in Warren County, Tennessee on September 27, 1850. They had six children living with them. Hannah who was 18 and Audley's daughter from a previous marriage to Hanna Elizabeth Dennis who died in 1836, Alexander who was 12, Julia who was 10, Audley Jr. who was 8, Mary who was 5 and Thomas who was 3. The Census shows Audley was a farmer and the value of his property was $2000. It also states there was a 26 year old man living with them, Claboam, who was also a farmer.

1850 Census Schedule 2 Slave Schedule indicates Audley had 9 slaves: black female 55, black male 35, black male 25, black female 18, mulatto male 16, black male 16, black male 15, and two mulatto females 8 years old.

Audley is named as child of Thomas Harrison and Hannah Harrison's wills.

Although DAR file number 840385 indicates Audley's marriage to Elizabeth Groves was after 1835, I have retained the marriage as about 1837 as his first wife, Hannah Elizabeth Dennis' tombstone shows she died 2 Feb 1836 and Audley would have remarried after her death but sometime before the birth of their first child in 1838.

Audley married Dennis, Hannah Elizabeth in 1810 in Warren County, Tennessee. Hannah (daughter of Dennis, Joseph Sr. and Bybee, Ann Nancy) was born about 1795 in Tazewell County, Virginia; died on 02 Feb 1836 in McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee; was buried in Shellsford Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee.

Other Events:

• Also Known As: Anna
• Census: Warren County, Tennessee
• Birth: 1794, Warren County, Tennessee
• Death: 26 Sep 1835, McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee

Notes:

Tazewell County, Virginia was not originally the name of Anna's birth location, the name of the county changed after her birth.

Our People at Rest: Shellsford Cemetery by Robert A. C. and Leona Hills page 112. Hennessee Family History by David Hennessee indicates Hannah's year of death 1856 and Boney / Hennessee famly tree from internet by Randy Boney, Garland, Texas and other internet family trees show Hannah's year of death 1846. Some researchers show the year of death to be 1836. This researcher believes 1836 is the correct year due to the census records, 1836 would be 4 years after her last child was born and 2 years before Audley had his first child with Elizabeth Grove. Additionally, Hannah's tombstone indicates she died on 02 Feb 1836 but DAR file number 460666 and 840385 indicates she died on 26 Sept 1835. As of 31 Dec 2010, I am waiting on original records from DAR to confirm the correct date of death.


Birth:
A replacement tombstone placed at the foot of Audley M Harrison Sr's original tombstone in the late 1900's by Audley M Harrison Jr's descendants shows Elizabeth's birth year as 1804. I have been unable to find any other mention of this date.
