More Information:

About Andrew Jackson Harris:

Migrated to Georgia with his family soon after 1845. The family was in the 1850 Census, Murray County, Georgia. He was among the early settlers of Wood County, Texas. James Gilbert Harris, a brother of Giles N. Harris blazed the way in 1852. He settled on the old Warlick place between Quitman and Oak Grove community. Andrew Jackson Harris served in the Civil War. He returned to Murray Co., Ga. and enlisted in the Confederate Army, and was wounded in the Battle of Chicamauga. After the war he came back to Wood Co., Texas, and was living there at the time of the 1870 Census.

Andrew (Jack) Harris was a prosperous farmer. He owned a cotton gin, a grist mill and also freighted to and from Jefferson, Texas which at that time was one of the main trading points in that part of Texas.

About Dicia America Eveline (Dicey) Harris:

Her family and also that of her husband migrated in the same wagon train to Texas, however some settled in Hempstead County, Arkansas.

Dicia and Andrew Harris were 2nd cousins.


About Charles Lee Harris:

Charles served during the Spanish American War and remained in the service most of his life.


About Henry Rossman Harris:

From the Marie Key book:
Henry left home at 16 and his brothers and sisters never heard from him more than twice after he left. It is surmised that he was killed in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, as his last letter was from San Francisco about that time.

However, from Lorene Harris Read: "I found his World War I draft registration and census records. He was living in Los Angeles in 1930. He must have died between 1930 and 1940 as those are the dates that there is no index for CA deaths."
