Descendants of Elizabeth HarrisChapter 3 of Part III of Descendants of Wooten HarrisBy Garda M. Hodgson |

Elizabeth Harris3 (Wooten2, Isaac1) was born November 14, 1788, in that part of Burke County, North Carolina, that became part of Rutherford County after 1795. She married Andrew "Andy" Halford, son of John Halford and Nancy Dalton, on January 15, 1812, in Rutherford County, North Carolina. They moved to Hickman County, Tennessee before 1818. Other members of the Harris family followed shortly afterwards. In 1819, Wayne County was created out of the southern part of Hickman County. Thereafter, the Andy Halford and the Jonathan A. Cook families were in Wayne County. Andy and Elizabeth Halford's children, who were born before 1819, were technically born in Hickman County, while those born after 1819 were born in the new county of Wayne, even though they were living in the same place. Elizabeth's father, Wooten Harris, and some of her brothers' families moved to Illinois in about 1828, but the Andy Halford family was included in the Wayne County, Tennessee census in 1830. They followed the others to Illinois and were included in the Fayette County, Illinois census records in the years 1840 and 1850. Andy Halford's birthdate, May 12, 1787, was computed from his age at death. He died on April 18, 1861, at age 73 years 11 months and 6 days. Elizabeth died on June 17, 1855. They both died in Fayette County, Illinois, and were buried in the Harris Cemetery there. |
