Notes

Note N2181910 census lists her having 7 children, 2 remain alive May 1910. That would be John Harrison and Robert Houston.

Goodspeed History of Tennessee 1887 states she had 6 sons and 1 daughter.

Goodspeed and 1910 census list Elizabeth born in Tennessee. Earlier census's list her born in Kentucky.

Sarah came to live with John Harrison after Elijah died. She was a very good seamstress. She made thread with a spinning wheel. Aunt Kate though that looked easy, so one day during lunch she went in to try her hand at it, and fouled up the works. Grandma Martin was not amused. (Recollection of Dorothy Taylor Covington)
