Overton County, Tennessee SCT:
Turner Johnson, of said county states that he is about 68 years of age and that about the time of his earliest recollection he got acquainted in Cranville County, North Carolina with JAMES HARRISON and his wife WINNEY HARRISON. They were living together as husband and wife and were reputed to be among their neighbors and acquaintances, and so continued up to the time they moved to Kentucky where I understood the said James Harrison died not many years afterwards.
The said Winney was brought to this county from Kentucky some twenty years ago by her son where she remained until the time of her death in this county several years since but the exact date I do not now remember. She never married again after she came to this county. I have forgotten ever hearing that she married after the death of the above named James Harrison; I knew their children . . . (He names the children, their husbands or wives).
I do not now remember the maiden name of said Winney Harrison but have always heard and believed she and the said James Harrison were lawfully married before the Revolutionary War; for Eli Harrison above named, their third child was about grown at my earliest recollection.
The above named JAMES HARRISON as I have always heard and believed served in the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War in the North Carolina Troops. My father Benjamin Johnson now deceased has so served himself and in my childhood these subjects were talked of and we were told generally who had and had not served and I remember that said JAMES HARRISON was regarded and reputed to have served as above set forth; and such was the general reputation. Overton County, Tennessee on the 21st day of June 1854 . . . as a disinterested witness.

State of Kentucky
(County of Estill) SCT Ebenezer Park, a resident of said county, aged 78 years.
says he knew one Daniel Campbell about fifty years ago or there abouts in his first wifes lifetime that after she died he remarried one WINNEY HARRISON
widow of JAMES HARRISON and moved to his farm and there lived a number of years not recollected when he died leaving the said Winney a widow who then came to live with him about twelve years after the death of said Campbell when in 1832 or about that year two of her sons came from the state of Tennessee and took her home with them. She still remained the widow of the said Campbell. He further states said Campbell was by profession a school teacher and was a one eyed man and that he can not recollect the month or the year he died in.
He further states that he had conversed a great many times with the said Winney while she lived with him Viz:
That she remembered Bradshaws War or rather his defeat and that they came from North Carolina to the State of Kentucky at an early day; that her first husband the said James Harrison died in Madison County, Kentucky after which she married the aforesaid Campbell; That he does not recollect distinctly that she told him that the said Harrison had served in the War of the Rebellion or not but that is his impression that she did; that she was a very old woman when she left for Tennessee and a woman of great piety and faith and that he is disinterested in any matter to which this may relate . . . Witness my hand and seal this 16th day of October 1854.
EBENEZER PARK
Witnessed by Ebenezer Park, I. P. and Thomas Carsen, Clerk of Estill County, Kentucky.
Overton County, Tennessee SCT Mrs. Polly Pentecost, of said county, aged past 51 years makes the following statements Viz: That she was well acquainted with Mrs. Winy Campbell the mother of Eli Harrison of this county and that she died in this county at the residents of her son the said Eli Harrison on the 25th day of October 1847 as I remember distinctly although I have no memorandum of her death... I knew her well for the last years or previous to her death. During that time she frequently told me that her first husband JAMES HARRISON the father of the above named Eli Harrison had served three tours in the Revolutionary War in the service of the United States in North Carolina. I do not remember the names of his officers except one Captain and General Green. I remember that she told me when her husband said James Harrison returned from his last tour he looked so bad and ragged that the youngest children did not know him. I also think she spoke of an officer by the
[12]
name of Allen under whom he served. I also understood and believed that the above named JAMES HARRISON and WINNY (whose maiden name she told me was Reddin) were lawfully married many years before the Revolution somewhere in Virginia and that their youngest child CHARLOTTE HARRISON with whom I have been well acquainted was born during the Revolutionary War or soon after.
She used to speak of trying to get a pension on account of the above named Revolutionary service of her husband James Harrison but she was told that her second marriage after his death would cut off her claim.
When I first knew her she was the reputed widow of one Campbell who as she told me had died many years before in Kentucky and she never married again after I knew her but remained a widow of the above Campbell.
Eli Harrison, above named, as I heard from them had gone to Kentucky a few years before I got acquainted with her, and had brought her home from Estill County to Overton County.
When I first knew the said WINNEY CAMPBELL she always told me that she had but four children then living (she named the four children and places of residence).

WILLIAM HARP — CHARLOTTE HARRISON HARP, William, was probably born about 1780-83 in Granville County, North Carolina. Died: unknown. In 1830 he and family resided in Overton County, Tennessee. We did not find him after 1830. His wife Charlotte and children came to Missouri and Ark.
(Son of HARRISON, Charlotte, born about 1785/88 in North Carolina. Died sometime in the year 1865?, we believe in Christian County, Missouri. Burial place unknown. (daughter of James and Winnie Reddin Harrison).
WILLIAM HARP and CHARLOTTE HARRISON were married in November 1804 in Granville County, North Carolina. Date of bond, 5 November 1804; Thomas King, bondsman. Her name was spelled Lottey Harrison.
Charlotte was in Madison County, Arkansas by 1838 when she was included in the tax list that year as C. Harp. She was no doubt in Crawford County, Missouri in 1832, when her daughter, Sarah Frances Harp, married John W. Bilyeu in that year. (At that date Miller County, Mo., had not been organized. The area where they resided was later included in Miller County. Solomon Harp, who resided in Newton County, Arkansas shows up in that area also.
A William Harp served in the war of 1812 from Over-ton County, Tennessee. This could be the William Harp, above:

CHARLOTTE HARP - Estate Settlement
An estate settlement for Charlotte Harp was found in Christian Co., Mo. by Virginia Rollings of Springfield, Missouri in January 1983.
Thomas Jefferson Harp (her son) was administrator. Administration bond not dated. Levi Lewis signed the Administrator’s bond in the amount of six hundred dollars. Levie Lewis was probably the stepfather of Thomas J. Harps 3rd wife, Isabelle Gilbert.
The year of Charlotte Harp’s death is not clear, 1863? or 1865 (copy included). A notice of intent to administer estate was published on the 3rd day of April 1866. I believe the date of death was 1865.
