Photos: Obediah and Laura E Harrison Family: Harrison and Hennessee Family History

Alph and Nellie Laurence Harrison Family Records

William Ezekial "Zeke" Laurence from Warren County, Tennessee and Mary Jane "Jennie" Grove from Texas County, Missouri married in Montague County, Texas and came to the family farm in Lawrence Township in the early 1900s. Their daughter Nellie Laurence married Alph Harrison who came from Texas County, Missouri and who's father Audley was also from Warren County, Tennessee and they settled on the family farm. This family farm, as well as the photographs and documents in this album, have stayed in the family since the early 1900s. Thank you to Alph and Nellie's granddaughter, Juanita Clower Kirby Wells, for letting me spend a few days on the farm with her scanning and talking about the rich history of the Laurence, Grove, Harrison and Hennessee families from Warren County, Tennessee who lived on and near there. -Sandra Harrison

Obediah and Laura E Harrison Family

This photograph of Obediah and Laura E Harrison's family is a tintype photograph. It was taken in 1898, in Texas County Missouri, just a short time before Obediah passed away, and found in the home of Juanita Clower Kirby Wells.

Juanita still lives on the farm which has been in the family since the early 1900s. Shortly after Obediah passed away in 1900, his wife Laura and her children went to Oklahoma where her son Alph Harrison married Nellie Laurence who's family owned this farm. Laura passed away in their home on this farm and it is believed that this photograph was in her possessions.
