NATATHANIEL HARRISON (1770 – 1845) AND MARTHA KENNON BROADNAX HARRISON (1776 – 1858)

Nathaniel and Martha had eight children, according to Ancestry and Family Search websites. There were seven children listed in Nathaniel’s will. The eighth, Nancy Ann Harrison McDaniel, remains a mystery in my mind at the moment. We will continue research and try to document Nancy.

The seven children listed in Nathaniel Harrison’s will are:

  • Mary Ann Wright
  • Caroline K. Butts
  • Sally Jones Wallace,
  • Alexander B. Harrison
  • John B. Harrison
  • Gabriel Harrison
  • Martha Evelina White

PUTNAM ORDINARY COURT RECORDS

I found over 300 pages of inventories of slaves, equipment, live stock, household goods, etc. recorded in the Putnam County Georgia court records. Some items I found interesting are posted below. Files containing the complete records are linked below these posts.

I have attempted to separate the court records into the following groups:

INVENTORY OF ASSEETS (INCLUDING SLAVES BY NAME, LIVE STOCK, FARM EQUIPMENT, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, ETC. )

INVENTORY OF SLAVES

RECEIPTS FOR BALES OF COTTON

PROCEEDS OF ESTATE AUCTION
