5	"Heads of families at the first Census of the United States taken in the years 1790." Records of the State enumerations: 1782 to 1785 for the state of Virginia, Government Printing Office 1908 "A complete set of the schedules for each state, with a summary for the counties, and in many cases towns, was filed in the State Department, but unfortunately they are not now complete, the returns for the states of Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia having been destroyed when the British burned the Capitol at Washington during the War of 1812." Other data has been put together for research. Library of Virginia: 1790 Virginia Census NOTES The original manuscript schedules for the First and Second United States Census Returns for Virginia, taken in 1790 and 1800, were destroyed when the British Army occupied Washington, D.C., in August 1814. The schedules, which named the heads of households and contained the number of inhabitants in each household, were lost, and only published abstracts containing the number of inhabitants of each county survive. In 1908 the Bureau of the Census published a twelve-volume compilation of names of heads of households from the surviving incomplete records. The confusingly titled Virginia volume, Heads of Families at the First Census of the United States taken in the year 1790: Records of the State Enumerations, 1782-1785: Virginia, is indexed and has been reprinted several times. It was prepared from an incomplete collection of surviving manuscript lists of heads of households that the government of Virginia compiled in 1782, 1783, 1784, and 1785. Those Lists of Inhabitants, which cover only thirty-nine counties and one city, are in the Library of Virginia and have been filmed on Miscellaneous Microfilm Reel number 1263. Copies of the lists for the City of Richmond, the earliest of which was included in the Heads of Families, are now separately filed with the early local government records of the city in the Library of Virginia. To supplement the Heads of Families, Augusta B. Fothergill and John M. Naugle compiled and published Virginia Tax Payers, 1782-87 Other Than Those Published by the United States Census Bureau (Richmond, 1940), which has gone through several reprint editions. Virginia Tax Payers contains lists of taxpaying heads of households for thirty-five counties not covered in Heads of Households. Their principal source for each county is the earliest surviving state personal property tax list. The personal property tax returns, most of which begin in 1782, are also in the Library of Virginia and have been microfilmed. Netti Schreiner-Yantis and Florence Speakman Love subsequently compiled and published The 1787 Census of Virginia: An Accounting of the Name of Every White Male Tithable Over 21 Years, three volumes (Springfield, Va., 1987), which was also issued in a series of individual county volumes. Their principal source was not a census but the 1787 state personal property tax lists. It is the only compilation of eighteenth-century Virginia taxpayers from one uniform source. There are no proper pre-1800 census returns for Virginia. Researchers who use Heads of Families, Virginia Tax Payers, and The 1787 Census of Virginia are advised to consult the Virginia laws to learn what information the lists contain and do not contain. For the 1782, 1783, 1784, and 1785 enumerations, see Hening's Statutes at Large, 11:40-41, 108, 193, 415-417. For the first of the Virginia personal property tax laws, adopted in 1782, see Hening's Statutes at Large, 11:112-129. The 1787 personal property tax law is in Hening's Statutes at Large, 12:243-255. Note: The middle name of "William" has been noted by several researchers, the author of this Family Tree record, has been unable to locate any documentation of this middle name. Although there are a few Harrison's included in the 1790 Virginia Census, there are no Hennessee's. The Census is missing all counties in Virginia in which our families are known to have lived, including, but not limited to: Augusta, Bedford, Botetourt, Tazewell, Washington, Wythe, etc. It was confusing that Kentucky is listed in the 1790 Census as it was part of Virginia at that time and did not become a State until 1792, until further research showed it was already called Kentucky County. Some family trees on the Internet show parents for Thomas being Thomas Harrison and Anne Waye Peyton, however I believe I have proven this information is not correct. The book Settlers by the Long Grey Trail, originally published in 1935, beginning on page 287, details the two Harrison families that lived and showed up side by side in the history of Virginia. Thomas Harrison who married Anne Waye Peyton is a descendant of Burr Harrison from England. This Thomas Harrison was a Reverend and his family were judges and political. Quite a contrast to our family who were humble Irish farmers. About 15 years after writing the above statement, my belief that Thomas S Harrison Sr. was not connected to the Thomas Harrison who married Anne Waye Peyton and the Harrison's from The Settlers by the Long Grey Trail was proved by the Harrison DNA Project. Lineage 31-The Harrison of Staffordshire, England and Augusta Co., VA Line - The line of Thomas Harrison came to Tazewell County from Augusta and Botetourt Counties. This family has been connected to the Burr Harrison line (lineage 22), but the DNA does not confirm that relationship. The Wiseman Family and Allied Lines by Eugene Wiseman (1991) discusses this line, and states that Thomas Harrison, progenitor of the Harrison family of Warren Co, TN was born ca. 1740 Botetourt Co. VA, and was the son of John Harrison, Jr. and grandson of John Harrison, Sr. The senior John Harrison was born between 1697 and 1710 and died in Botetourt Co. in 1786. No other tested families match this line. There is a match between the Harrison's of Staffordshire, England, and the Harrison's of Augusta Co., Virginia. This indicates a better than 97% chance of a common ancestor since 1600. This family is halogroup R1b1b2a1b.	Harrison, Thomas S Sr (I83)
6	"Heads of families at the first Census of the United States taken in the years 1790." Records of the State enumerations: 1782 to 1785 for the state of Virginia, Government Printing Office 1908 "A complete set of the schedules for each state, with a summary for the counties, and in many cases towns, was filed in the State Department, but unfortunately they are not now complete, the returns for the states of Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia having been destroyed when the British burned the Capitol at Washington during the War of 1812." Although there are a few Harrisons included in the 1790 Virginia Census, there are no Hennessees. The Census is missing all counties in Virginia in which our families are known to have lived, including, but not limited to: Augusta, Bedford, Botetourt, Tazewell, Washington, Wythe, etc. It is confusing that Kentucky is listed in the 1790 Census as it was part of Virginia at that time and did not become a State until 1792. "Hennessee Family History" by D. A. Hennessee, p. 1: "It is not known at this point weather Patrick had siblings. Given the average size of the families in the 18th century, it would seem likely that he did. there are several Hennessees appearing in census records and tax rolls during the late 18th century in and around the Virginia and North Carolina areas." In some credible publications, such as the Burke County Historical Society, Patrick's name was listed as "Sr" which would indicate he may have had a son of the same name. "Wiseman Family and Allied Lines" by Eugene M. Wiseman, p. 448: Patrick Hennessee, Sr. was born ca 1745 in Ireland and his will was proved in Oct 1796 in Burke County, North Carolina. He was believed to have arrived in Norfolk, Virginia about 1740 and moved from there to Burke County." This researcher could not confirm any information on Patrick being born in Virginia or Ireland or his entry into America and publications have been found to list both birth places. Publications have also listed Patrick's birth year to be 1735, 1745 and 1750. It is believed the information of his birth has been verbally handed down in family folk lore. It is not possible for Patrick to arrive in Norfolk, Virginia 5 years prior to his birth. Eugene Wiseman may have found documents for another Patrick Hensey arriving in Norfold, Virginia as he writes. "He may be kin to the Patrick Hensey who was listed in Virginia Colonial Militia 1651-1776 of Bedford County, VA in 1758." He may have gotten this information from verbal accounts of descendants as he also writes: "His wife is believed to be Ailsey McCowell, also born in Ireland according to the testimony of her grandson." This researcher was also not able to find any other spelling of McCowell instead of MCDowell. The Patrick Hensey he writes about who was in the Virginia Colonial Militia may be the Partick Hensey who is our ancestor as he did own property and live in Bedford County in 1778. "Hennessee Family History" by D. A. Hennessee, p. 1: " Patrick's will was proven October, 1796, in Tryon County, NC." Fact: Tryon ceased to exist as a county in 1799 when it was divided into Lincoln County and Rutherford County, which are just south of Burke County. Tryon did remain a town to present day and therefore this information may be difficult to prove. Additional information that points to Patrick Hensey who was in the Virginia Colonial Militia being the Partick Hensey who is our ancestor was obtained during an interview with Alfred Hennessee in Lawton, Oklahoma in 2005. Alfred had been researching the Hennessee family history for many years and traveled to Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee collecting information and documents. During this interview, Alfred stated that Patrick Hennessee was born about 1735. He served in Washington's Militia for the State of Virginia and was given land because the Militia did not have enough money to pay all of the men who served. It was verified that this was a practice of the Militia, during and after the American Revolutionary War. "State and Federal Benefit Payments to and Land Grant Programs for U. S. Military Veterans, 1775-1966: a Chronology" by The Library of Saint Louis, "1779- Virginia legislature authorizes payment of $750 and 100 acres of land for men enlisting in the Virginia militia for three year terms of service.....1781- Virginia relinquishes its claim to lands northwest of the Ohio River. In exchange, it receives the right to issue bounty land warrants and patents to its Revolutionary War veterans in the "Virginia Military District of Ohio," which opens for settlement in 1784. It continues to issue bounty land warrants and patents there until 1803, when Ohio becomes a state. 1783- North Carolina approves a bounty land grant program for Revolutionary War veterans who served two years or more in the North Carolina Line (militia service does not qualify a man for this program). Privates get 640 acres, while officers get between 2,560 acres and 12,000 acres depending on last rank held. Warrants in this program are issued between 1783-1841. Land reserved for this program lies the present-day state of Tennessee. Land patents during the period 1783-1797 were issued by North Carolina, while patents for the period 1799-1841 were issued by the state of Tennessee." I could not find a Hennessee or any spelling of any name starting with "Hen" in the Revolutionary War at all. I searched DAR, SAR, Federal Archives, etc. Alfred Hennessee also provided a document he had written stating that Tom Hennessee was the father of Patrick S Hennessee and was born in Ireland, however I could find no other source for this. Some other family trees online have information that makes sense: Amanda Bradley's Patrick Samuel Hennessee b 1745/1750 in Dublin, Ireland (this would make sense of why we can't find him in the U.S.) d Oct 1796 in Burke County, NC. Spouse Ailsey McDowell b 1748 in Ireland d 1837 Summers Meador Giles Minott tree by hockmanwife shows Patrick Hennessee b 1745 in Burke County, NC (also makes more sense than Virginia) d 10/25/1795. Residence in 1790 was Burke County, NC. 1790 Census does show Patrick Hensy in Burke County, NC with 1 free white male over 16, 1 free white male under 16, 1 free white female and 3 other persons with no details. I can only assume these were slaves as the family had slaves listed on other census records.	Hennessee, Patrick (I706)
7	"Hennessee Family History" by D. A. Hennessee, p. 9: "Ailsey and Jacob had 10 children. They moved to Cherokee County, North Carolina, about 1838-1840." The author of this book notes he had a photograph of this family, proving these facts, in his posession.	Hennessee, Ailsey (I579)
8	"History of Tennessee" by TnGenWeb Project "George W. Cunningham, farmer and merchant of the Fifteenth Civil District of Warren County; was born in that county June 16, 1821, and is the son of John and Sarah Cunningham. The father was born in Virginia about 1792, and died in Warren County, Tenn., about 1857 He was of Scotch Irish descent. His father, our subject's grandfather came to Tennessee in 1810, and located near the celebrated falls of Caney Fork, being among the first settlers of Warren County. He was in the war of 1812, and his father was in the Revolutionary war. John Cunningham was a farmer and tanner by occupation, and a Democrat in politics. The mother of our subject was born in Hyde County, N. C., October 25, 1799, and is now living with her son, George W. She has a limited education, but has a very strong mind for one of her age. She is a member of the Baptist Church. Our subject is the fourth of six children born to his parents, and now lives on the farm where he was born. His occupation in life has been that of a farmer until 1885, when in connection with his farm he engaged in the mercantile business at Rock Island, Tenn. He formed a co-partnership with his grandson, Willie A. Moore, under the firm title of Cunningham & Moore. They carry a stock of goods valued at $2,500 and Mrs. Cunningham also owns 215 acres of land in Warren County, with the principal part under cultivation. This is the result of economy and judicious management. In August, 1842, he married Miss Sarah A. Hennessee, a native of Warren County, born about 1823, and the daughter of A. W. and Jennie (Neal) Hennessee. To them was born one child, a daughter, named Amanda."	Cunningham, George Washington (I1111)
9	"Wiseman Family and Allied Lines" John Jones will listed "Hannah, wife of Thomas Harrison" as one of the heirs.	Jones, Reverand John (I466)
10	1840 Census for Warren County, Tennessee shows Agnes is living near John Grove, George Harrison and Joseph Harrison. She is widowed with MANY children.	Agnis (I1178)
11	1850 Census indicates Alexander and his wife Tabitha were living in Warren County, Tennessee on September 27, 1850 with their six children Sarah who was 13, William who was 12, James who was 10, Patrick who was 8, Alfrea who was 4 and John who was 1. The Census also shows Alexander owning property valued at $400 and he and Tabitha could not read or write.	Hennessee, Alexander (I696)
12	1850 Census indicates Audley Jr. was 8 years old on September 27, 1850. 1870 Census indicates Edly (Audley) Harrison was 26 living in Warren County, Tennessee on August 6, 1870 with his wife Nancy who was 25, son Obediah 7 and daughter Sarah who was 5. The Census also shows Edly was a farmer and Nancy kept house and she could not read or write. Their real estate was valued at $2000 and their personal property was valued at $1000. 1900 Census Milford, Ellis County, Texas, B Sheet No. 4 18 indicates Audley was living in Ellis County, Texas with his wife Laura A and daughter Cora, common laborer, owned his own home free and clear and everyone in the home could read and write. It also indicates he was born in the month of October and I changed his birthdate to reflect this. It states Laura A had given birth to 5 children and only 3 were living, Cora who lived with them was 14 and she had only been married to Audley for 12 years. This may mean that Laura had Cora before she married Audley. Audley Harrison, Jr. was about eleven years old when his father, Audley Harrison, Sr. died. Harrison and Hennessee Families: Lived Together and Fought Together Between April 17th and May 20th, 1861 Tennessee seceded from the Union along with Virginia, Arkansas and North Carolina. That summer Camp Smartt was established and as the individual Civil War soldier's records show, on September 6, 1861 at least 15 of the Harrison and Hennessee brothers and cousins enlisted in the Civil War and on September 11th the Tennessee Mountain Rifle Regiment was organized. The Regiment changed names several times but finally came to be known as the 35th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. They served in the Regiment while it was called the 5th Regiment, Company "B" under the command of C M Forrest. These Hennessee and Harrison men included at least: Audley M Harrison and his brother Alexander, cousins J W and Samuel Harrison, his wife Nancy Hennessee's four brothers; James Sr., John Thomas, Patrick Scott and "Big" Thomas Jr., his wife's cousin and daughter's husband Archibald Hugh Hennessee, and Hennessee cousins Anderson L, George, James C, "Little" Thomas, Thomas L and James Jr. Before 1880, Audley Harrison, Jr. moved to Texas where he settled in Milford, Ellis County, Texas. April 12, 1898, Audley lived in Forney, Kafman County, Texas. His son Obediah came to visit and wrote home to his wife who was in Missouri on this date. Juanita (Clower) Kirby Wells has this original letter. Somewhere I saw that there were more children for this family, Rachel, Mary Frances, Joseph and Elizabeth. However I could not confirm this information, I had no dates or location of birth and deleted it from my file. 1930 Census, Audley's son George, indicates his father was born in Tennessee. DAR file number 840385 shows Audley died in Warren County, Tennessee in 1870 and several other reports including the Death Record on ancestry.com says he died in Bonnham, Fannin County, Texas. However this can not be correct as he is on Census records in 1880, 1890 and 1900 in Texas and applied for his pension #08676 near the end of his life in 1902. I have a copy of this pension in my possession. I spoke to the Texas State Library and Archives and they stated their Pension Log shows he died on May 20, 1902 and his one and only Pension check was mailed to Ellis County, Texas. A copy of this log is being mailed to me.	Harrison, Audley M. Jr. (I272)
13	1850 Census indicates James and Jane were living in Warren County, Tennessee on September 27, 1850 with their four youngest children: Samuel who was 19, Esther who was 17, Anderson who was 14 and Eliza who was 11. The Census also shows James and his son Samuel were farmers, James owned property valued at $800 and James was blind. It also states a 25 year old laborman, William Harpen was living with them.	Hennessee, James (I691)
14	1850 Census indicates James and Mary were living in Warren County, Tennessee with three children Patrick who was 4, Rachel who was 2 and Andrew who was 9 months. The Census also shows James was a farmer, but he did not own property and Mary could not read or write. 1860 Census indicates James and Mary were living in Warren County, Tennessee with six of their children Patrick who was 15, Rachel who was 12, Andrew who was 10, Nancy who was 8, James who was 5, Mary who was 3 and William who was just 6 months. The Census also shows James was a farmer and by this time owned $150 of his own real estate and $300 in personal property, he attended school that year and he could not read or write.	Hennessee, James C. (I684)
15	1850 Census indicates James' son Alexander, from a another marriage to Sally Wilcher, was also living nearby with his wife Tabetha and thier five children. See: Alexander Hennessee	Hennessee, James (I691)
16	1850 Census Record for Texas County, Missouri indicates Joseph and Mary "Polly" must have moved to Missouri from Tennessee sometime between 1843 and 1845 since thier son James was born in Tennessee in about 1843 and they had their next child, Nancy in Missouri in about 1845. Since there are no other Harrison's or Groves listed in the census, Joseph and Polly were probably the first of their family to settle in the Texas County, Missouri area. Later census records indicate other family members and their parents followed Joseph and Polly. "Chancery Court Records, Book 1" (1847-1854), Pg. 484-486, George Harrison, Administrator of the Estate of Audley Harrison, Deceased vs.Joseph Harrison and others, states Joseph was named in his father's will.	Harrison, Joseph D (I833)
17	1850 White County, Tennessee Census indicates Jesse and Aley had one daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, ten months.	Suttles, Jesse (I561)
18	1850 Wright County, Missouri Census indicates they were living in the county with their three children.	Hennessee, Gideon Cain (I252)
19	1860 census indicates Elizabeth is living in Texas County, Missouri with her uncle Joseph D. Harrison.	Wiseman, Elizabeth (I611)
20	1860 Census indicates Elizabeth is living in Warren County, Tennessee on August 9, 1860 with three of her children, Audley Jr. who is 18, Mary who is 14 and Thomas who is 12. Elizabeth lost her husband Audley M Sr. just a few months before the Census was taken. It states Elizabeth was born in Tennessee. The Census shows their property value was $250. It was valued at $2000 just ten years earlier. Chancery Court Records, Book 1 (1847-1854), Page 484-486 George Harrison, Administrator of the Estate of Audley Harrison, Deceased vs. Joseph Harrison and others	Grove, Elizabeth (I453)
21	1860 Census indicates Patrick and Hannah were living in Warren County, Tennessee with thier first baby Francis who was just one year old. The Census also states Patrick was a farmer and his real estate property was valued at $1,000 and he had $400 in personal property. Documentation: Wright County, Missouri Census of 1850. Patrick is listed as 21 years of age. 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. Documentation: Putman County Census substantiates Patrick's second family. This family on 1880 Morris, Warren County, Tennessee census not worked. "Chancery Court Records, Book 1" (1847-1854), Pg. 484-486, George Harrison, Administrator of the Estate of Audley Harrison, Deceased vs.Joseph Harrison and others, states Patrick was named in his wife's father's will.	Hennessee, Patrick Scott (I637)
22	1860 Census indicates Rachel is living in Warren County, Tennessee with her son Wm M (William Mortimer) who is 19. Her other children have moved out of the house and she lost her husband Patrick just a couple years before the Census was taken. 1870 Census indicates Rachel is 70 years old, living in Warren County, Tennessee with her granddaughter, Parilee Smith, daughter of Obediah Smith and Harriet Hennessee. It also indicates Rachel was born in Tennessee although all other records show she was born in North Carolina and she could not write. Although Obediah has been listed on many published family trees, including this one, I believe Harriet's husband Obediah Smith could have been mistaken as a son.	Wilcher, Rachel (I683)
23	1860 Census indicates Tabitha is living in Warren County, Tennessee on August 13, 1860 with six children William who was 21, James who was 19, Patrick who was 17, Alfrea who was 15, John who was 12 and Alsey who was 10 and must have been born just after the 1850 Census. Sarah is not listed on the Census, although she was on the Census 10 years earlier, and may have moved out by this time. Alexander is also not on the Census and may have passed away. The Census also shows the property valued at $140.	Smith, Tabitha (I796)
24	1860 Wright County, Missouri Census indicates Thomas and Sally's youngest child was born in 1849.	Hennessee, Thomas (I303)
25	1870 Census for Warren County, Tennessee indicates Parilee was living with her new husband of just one month, her two children from previous marriages, Malvina Binkley who was six years old and Rachel Dalton who was just one and her grandmother Rachel Wilcher Hennessee who was 70. It also indicates their farm was valued at $700, William Thomas could not write and Parilee could not read or write.	Smith, Parilee (I1313)
26	1870 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Warren County, Tennessee and he was a farm labor and she kept house. It also states Ezekiel was 21, Victoria was 17 and they did not have any children yet. 1880 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Kaufman County, Texas with their two youngest children Sallie who was 7 and Thomas who was just 1. It also states Ezekiel worked on a farm and Victoria kept house. The Census shows a 16 year old black male, Kendrick Rofe, living with them who was a domestic servant. 1900 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Nocona, Montague County, Texas and they had five of their children living with them Thomas who was 21, Virginia who was 17, Callie who was 10, Nora who was 7 and Samuel who was 3. They also had a nephew, George Hennessee, who was 14 and born in May of 1886 living with them in addition to a 29 year old male servant Joe Lawrence. The Census states Ezekiel was a farmer. Sallie died of Yellow Fever sometime before 1890. Callie, who was born in 1890, did not recall having a younger sister sallie. 1910 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had two children living with them, Jennie who was 27 and single and Sam who was 15 and single. Victoria stated that she had given birth to five children and all five of them were living. The Census also shows that Ezekiel was a farmer and owned his own farm. "The Hennessee Family in America" by D. A. Hennessee states: Ezekiel was a blacksmith and a woodworker. "Prairie Lore" by The Southwestern Oklahoma Historical Society, vol 10 number 2, book 38, Oct 1973 an article written by S. N. Hennessee states Ezekiel "Jake" and Victoria moved to Vanzant County, Texas. Their two young children (Sallie and George) died there of Yellow Fever. There is no record of George being a son of Ezekiel and Victoria, however the 1900 Census Record indicates a nephew, George Hennessee. There is also no record I have been able to locate of Ezikiel and Victoria living in Vanzant County, Texas.	Hennessee, Ezekiel McGregor (I353)
27	1880 Census indicates Sally living with Ezekies and Victoria. Sally is not noted on the 1900 Census. Callie, her sister, spoke of her brothers and sisters often prior to her passing. No one recalls Sallie. She must have passed away as a child since the 1900 Census states Victoria had 14 children and only 5 were living.	Hennessee, Sallie (I805)
28	1900 Census indicates Hannah's parents were both born in Missouri.	Ray, Hannah Ann (I89)
29	1900 Census indicates Henry and Hannah A were living in Chariton County, Missouri with their 6 children, Henry was a farmer, owned his farm free and clear. It also indicates Henry's parents were both born in Ohio.	Fields, Henry Clay (I88)
30	1900 census indicates Laura gave birth to Seven children but only 5 were living. Interview with Cassie: Soon after Laura's husband Obediah Harrison died in 1901-1902, Laura and her children moved to Oklahoma Territory. Laura lost the farm in Missouri. I have heard something from a couple of people, including Juanita Wells, that there was a man who cheated Laura out of the farm. Cassie said something about Laura losing the farm also. She said Alph was about 17, Liss was about 14 and Laura sent them on horseback from Texas County Missouri to Stephens County, Oklahoma to find a place for them to live near her brother who lived there. After Alph and Liss found a place, Laura moved to Stephens County with the girls. Should be able to locate 1910 census showing Cassie and Belle still living with Laura. 1920 Census indicates Laura was 58, a widdow, and living in Wall Township, Stephens County, Oklahoma with her single brother Bynker who was 54. The Census shows Laura owned her house which was free of mortgage, she was in the farming truck trade and could read and write. Cassie remembers her father George W. Harrison sending Alph and Ed to Laura's to help them with the farm. Alph didn't like it, he didn't like farming, but Ed didn't mind.
