Several days ago I spoke on the pho...Hi Jack,<br /> Several days ago I spoke on the phone to David Rose out in California. He suggested I look up your site and try to contact you about Goins and Harrison DNA matches.<br /> We have four Harrison's that have been DNA tested - all four are haplogroup E-P277 (E1b) Sub-Saharan African. They are descendants of brothers, James Harrison(1750 VA-1830 Sumner Co, TN) and Joseph Harrison (1754 VA-1819 Adams Co, MS). I have put together an Excel spreadsheet with Goins' and Harrison DNA matches. If you have an e-mail I will send it to you as an attachment.<br /> I am somewhat surprised that from all of the surnames, I never saw the name Harrison - even with the very close association with the Gibson's. <br /><br />James Harrison was married to Cynthia Gibson, d/o Jordon Gibson. Joseph Harrison was married to Mary Gibson, d/o Gibeon/Gideon Gibson. Cynthia and Mary Gibson are thought to be cousins. <br /><br /> Excerpt from the 'Joseph Harrison Journal'. "Joseph Harrison came to North Carolina and married into the Gibson Family. When the Gibson parents died the heirs sold the home farm and migrated first to Nashville and then to Natchez, Mississippi,(Brother James remained in Nashville). <br /> <br /> Following are a few dates and sources putting James Harrison, Jordon Gibson and his son Roger in Sumner Co, TN:<br /><br />Excerpt from the South-Western Monthly. Nashville, April 1852. SOURCE: Google Books. EARLY HISTORY OF THE SOUTH-WEST. INDIAN BATTLES AND MURDERS—NARRATIVE OF GENERAL HALL..<br /><br />Our two neighbors were Messrs. Gibson (Jordon) and Harrison (James) ; and the former having no white family, it was agreed that the three should combine and hire each two young men to guard the farms through the.season. (This refers to Bledsoe's Fort, Sumner Co, TN) Note: "the former having no white family" referring to Jordon Gibson, father-in-law of James Harrison by way of Jordon's daughter, Cynthia. Since James was haplogroup E1b and Cynthia was 'non-white', their descendants must have an excellent chance of carrying useful DNA info. <br /><br />1786: Roger's father, Jordan Gibson, received a land grant of 640 acres by the State of NC on 17 April 1786 on the north side of Bledsoe's Lick Creek. <br /><br />1788: Roger's father, Jordan Gibson was scalped and killed during an Indian raid on the Bledsoe's Lick Creek(now Castillian Springs, Sumner Co, TN) settlement. Jordan was reported by a Mr Harrison, presumably his son-in-law James Harrison, as being "about 80" at the time of his death. Jordan's estate was then divided into 4 portions at the request of Roger Gibson, James Harrison (husband of Cynthia Gibson), and James Odom (husband of Rhoda Gibson). The 4th portion went to the Widow Black, presumably another daughter of Jordan Gibson.<br /><br />1770-1790 Census of the Cumberland Settlements (pg 20 of 49)<br />Reference to James Harrison regarding the division of Jourdan Gibson's estate. <br /><br /> 1791: Roger Gibson was the bondsman for the marriage of John Neely and Mary Harrison. (Mary was the d/o of James and Cynthia (Gibson) Harrison)<br /><br />1850 Federal Census, Dist 18, Henderson Co, TN, Pg 7 of 9.<br />Roger Gibson, age 83, born SC<br /><br />Jack, I hope I have given you enough info to show the Harrison/Gibson connection.
