Notes
a. Note:   ice. She was b. Jan. 20, 1821, in Ala. She was never married. Charlotte was living in Old Town in 1848 when Angus was born , in Geneva in 1860 and in Clintonville in 1870. She received 80 acres in 1850 near Lowrey in Coffee Co. She was a farmer and lived in Hall's school area in 1850. In 1867, Charlotte along with her sister, Elizabeth Hall, Mary Weeks, Sarah Adams and Frances Fleming had a court case to sell land which had belonged to their father William. Named in the case are the names of their deceased brothers and neices and nephews. Charlotte died Dec. 30, 1895 in Clintonville. She is buried at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Clintonville. The spelling of her name is sometimes Charlotta and sometimes Charlotte.
 Charlotte's children:
  1. George Ann Harrison - b. April 1836; m. (1) Mr. Sansom (2) John Franklin Bowdoin 2. Moses Harrison - b. 1840, Ala.
 3. Salona (Lanie) Harrison - b. Dec. 6, 1845; d. May 9, 1900; m. Dennis Lindsey
 4. William Angus (Anguish) Harrison - b. May 18, 1848; d. April 1929; m. Frances Thomas 5. Martha L. Harrison - b. May 1850; m. John Driggers
 6. Berry Jackson Harrison - b. 1854; m. Matilda
 7. Charlotta (Lotty) Harrison - b. Oct. 6, 1856; d. July 7, 1868, buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Clintonville
 8. Mary Harrison - b. 1860; m. William Bill Holder
 9. Molcy Ann M. Harrison - b. Aug. 1866; m. Wiley M. Wilson
  I started with info that my grandmother (who was b. in 1900 and lived in New Brockton) gave me. she started with the oldest down and her memory was quite good. She said that Georgia Ann was married to a Mr. Sansom and then broke up the home of John Franklin Bowdoin. She and John. My grandmother was the daughter of Racy Harrison and Tolbert Bowdoin (son of John Franklin). So my grandmothers grandfather married her mothers aunt.
 She said that Lanie married Dennis Lindsey and that Martha married John Driggers. She didn't rember much about Jack, just his name. And she said that Lotty had died young. She said that Mary married Bill Holder but they didn't live in Coffee Co., so she didn't know much about her. She said that Molcy married a Mr. Wilson - I have since found that his name was Wiley M. Wilson.
  Now Charlotte may have had another son. Angus applied for his civil war pension stating that he was born in 1836. But he was born May 18, 1848. There are so many stories about the Harrison family. One of those stories is that Angus was never in the war but used his brothers records. There is a Lafaytte Harrison, born 1836, discharged Sept. 25, 1963, for phiysical disability in Coffee County. Who is this Lafayette?Charlotta is reported to have never married even though she had several children.
  Reference note from a fellow researcher: Twenty years ago friend of mine, Betty, was doing genealogy when she
 happen to notice that her grandmother's children, her grandmother's and her
 ggrandmother's surnames were all the same. When she asked her mother about it, her mother, who was then 86, said it was simple..."after the Civil War
 men were scarce. Women shared husbands." Betty was shocked to hear her
 mother refer to what we consider an illegal and immoral act as something
 almost accepted! Having had twenty years to get used to such things...what's
 the big deal? They were humans, too. My Grandfather was evidentially the product of an unmarried liaison, as well. I knew his father had abandoned his mother, but what I have found out
 from doing my genealogy is that the abandonment happened five years before
 his birth. This put new meaning to the name "Frank Butler of SC" that
 appears in the blank for "Father" on my grandfather's death certificate. The
 death certificate, I might add, that was filled out by his very own
 mother...who would be the one person that would genuinely know his father's
 identity.
