Notes:

(Medical):sent William Franklin Harrison's wife, Sarah E. Baird, to France to receive treatments for T.B. where she died.

Hi Gene,

Sarah Ellis Baird Harrison died in 1888. Her daughter married a Goodrich much later but did the Harrison's have a connection with the Goodriches or the Goodrich farm in 1888. There is no marker for Sarah in the Goodrich Cemetery and Sarah is not recorded on either of the cemetery inventory papers that Wanda showed us (written by her family).

The note I found was written by Sarah Johnson (Collier Johnson's wife) when they paid someone years ago to research family history. They think that she is buried in Prince George near Newville.

She died in France (receiving treatments for TB) so I guess there is even a chance that they did not send her body back home.

It's a mystery I guess....

Thanks for all the info and CD! It has been fascinating!!! And very helpful!

Brenda Johnson Duckwall

Sarah was my grandmother, Adelaide Cornelia Harrison's mother. Sarah died of TB in France at Place Mayenne, Pays de la Loiire when my grandmother was just two years old. Sarah had been sent to France by her family to do everything they could to save her. The place that she went was suppose to be one of the best places for recovery but she did not make it.
Looking at the pictures does bring a great deal of sorrow that she must have felt at leaving her husband and young family and meeting her death in a strange and difficult place.

Brenda, from every bit of information I have, I believe this is it...The white car you see belongs to the guard who asked us to leave. The name was changed in 1975 to Medical Center of La Fontaine-au-Bac, but the old sign is still there. You can look it up using Le Claviere Villiers-Charlemagne. All of this is located in the district of Mayenne Pays de Loire. Please forward to Gene Harris and anyone else who might be interested. I have a friend who is willing to write a couple of letters in French to the "town halls" of the area.
Baldwin County is only one county over from us. (abt. 40 MILES.) bONNIE

According to Sarah Smith Rowell Johnson (wife of Turner Collier Johnson who was the son of Joseph Franklin Johnson and Edmonia Salome Collier).....

Sarah E. Baird Harrison (wife of William Franklin Harrison) who died of TB on January 22, 1888 (the date of her oldest daughter's birthday, Lottie, who had turned 12 years old that day and also leaving my grandmother Nellie who was 16 months old, her other children Joshua, Herbert, Myrtie, and Clarah)

"is buried in Prince George County near Newville."

This could possibly place her at the Kirkham or Simmons Cemetery.

The Coleman Simmons Cemetery is 1.7 miles northwest of Disputanta on 460 then about 100 yards north of 460 in Prince George County.

The Kirkham Cemetery is described to be 1.2 miles north of Disputanta, Virginia, on route 618; thence .8 mile northwest on Route 629; thence .1 mile south of route 629, Prince George County, Virginia.

The Kirkham Cemetery contains the remains of Joshua Simmons and his daughter, Ann Simmons Harrison and her husband, William Thomas Harrison who are the great grandparents and grandparents of William Franklin Harrison, Sarah E. Baird Harrison's husband.

The Kirkham Cemetery also contains the remains of Joshua Simmons' daughter, Martha Simmons Stainback and her husband, Peter Stainback, and their son, Adolphus "Doll" and daughter Martha Stainback Kirkham.

Susanna Harrison Figg is the sister of Joshua Simmons Harrison who is William Franklin Harrison's father and Sarah E. Baird Harrison's (b. January 27, 1854 - d. January 22, 1888) father-in-law. Susanna is Sarah's aunt in law.

It would make perfect sense for Sarah E. Baird Harrison to be buried there at the Kirkham Cemetery.

Perhaps the new Prince George Cemetery Project and Clarah's grand daughter can help us out. Thanks so much!

Sarah married HARRISON William Franklin on 9 Feb 1875. William (son of HARRISON Joshua Simmons and ELLIS Ann Rebecca) was born on 9 Feb 1853 in Prince George County, VA; died on 17 Jan 1907; was buried in Dendron, Surry, Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Dendron, Surry, Virginia, United States; Farmer

Notes:

from Brenda Duckwall:

The Harrison Home is at 3840 Otterdam Road in Surry County.

The land where the home is located and about 1000 acres belonged to our Ellis ancestors from the early 1600's. The land and original home was given by Bolling Ellis to his daughter and our ancestor Ann Rebecca Ellis who married Joshua Simmons Harrison. It was passed down or purchased by sons and daughters: William Franklin Harrison, Joshua James Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Jr., and presently to Julian R. Harrison III and his sister, Robin Harrison Mitchell.

This is from the Surry County Historical Society:

The Harrison Farm
located at 3840 Otterdam Road
Surry County, Virginia

"The following information has been researched by Julian R. Harrison, Jr.
The Harrison Farm was once owned by Bolling Ellis. The Ellises were in Surry County as early as 1667. The
original farm consisted of 760 +/- acres. Ann Rebecca Ellis married Joshua Simmons Harrison April 1, 1848 in Surry, Virginia. She inherited the farm from her father, Bolling Ellis.

Joshua James Harrison inherited his part of the farm from his father, William Franklin Harrison, in 1907, and bought the remaining shares from other family members….."

I don't know where Julian received the information whether it was Court records, Wills, or passed down information.
He seemed to check things carefully.

I may have given you a copy of this information with a picture of the house and farm.

Court Records or a Will might firm up the proof….

Family/Spouse: BAIRD Florence. Florence (daughter of BAIRD Solon Wingfield and EDWARDS Sarah Louise) was born on 26 Sep 1891; died on 21 Apr 1970; was buried in Petersburg, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Served Under Lt. Col. Dwight D. Eisenhower at Camp Colt, Pa., during WW-I. He worked in the orderly room and the motor pool. He knew Eisenhower. Camp Colt was a training base for tanks.

Thank you very much for the info and pictures on Camp Colt. The war ended two weeks before Dad was to go to France. At that time he was at Fort Dix in New Jersey. He was back in the Orderly Room then and helped to make up discharges. He filled out his own discharge and Ike signed it.


History of Camp Colt: Camp Colt - WW I In 1917, "Camp Colt" was established at Gettysburg and was the first US Army camp authorized to train the fledgling army Tank Corps during World War I. Captain Dwight D. Eisenhower commanded Camp Colt. All traces of this historic camp are gone except for a commemorative tree and marker planted adjacent to the Emmitsburg Road on the general location of the camp. CAMP OF UNITED STATES TROOPS IN THE PARK AND VICINITY. Camp Colt was established in the park in the spring of 1918, using the buildings, water system, drill, and parade grounds of the camps established in center of the park in 1917. Nearly all the troops of the Tank Corps and all the other troops have moved away or been mustered out of the service, leaving a very small guard and the United States property in charge of the quartermaster's department. Action has been taken to abandon the camp and sell the buildings. Bids have been asked to dismantle the camp ground and restore it to its original condition. CAMP EQUIPMENT. On May 24, 1919, the camp equipment, consisting of the buildings, drain, sewer, and water pipes was sold to the Lewis Wrecking Co., of Rock Island, Ill., by the Quartermaster's Department, United States Army. A set of specifications designating the work to be done in restoring the park land after the removal of the camp equipment was prepared by the commission and a copy was sent to the chief of construction, Washington, D.C., with the request that it be incorporated in the contract for sale. A copy was also furnished the quartermaster in charge of Camp Colt, and a copy was furnished by him to the purchaser. Six months time was allowed the purchaser for the removal of the buildings, pipes, and the restoring of the land as far as practical to its former condition. The dismantling of the buildings and the work of removing the pipes is now being done on the privateowned land. A large number of the buildings have been sold, but as yet few have been removed from the park land, and the work to be done here will not likely be completed before the winter. The wrecking company has a reputation for fair dealing and the work of restoring the land will be carried out as far as possible. About 4,500 cords of wood belonging to the Government and not included in the sale of the camp remained on the park land. Bids for the sale of this are now being received and when sold will be removed. CULTIVATION OF UNITED STATES LAND UNDER LEASE. There were 19 properties with a total acreage of 1,400 acres under lease during the year. As in the preceding year over 200 acres of land belonging to the Codori, Trostle, Smith, and the Bryan properties were used as part of the site of Camp Colt, thereby reducing the acreage actually under cultivation, and production of farm crops. A detailed statement of all the crops raised during the year as well as the number of the live stock kept by the tenants was compiled and reported to the commission at the end of the year.

Ike Deals With a Cheater You may have known someone - maybe even a close friend - who has cheated in school or in sports. You may have wondered what to do about it, so you might find it interesting to see how Dwight David Eisenhower handled a cheater. This happened long ago during World War I. Ike Deals With a Cheater Ike's flexibility was legendary - but so was his iron will. His toughness came into play when he was an officer Camp Colt, Pennsylvania, during the war. The case involved an officer who cheated at cards. When the victims of his cheating discovered his trick, they promptly seized his marked cards and complained to Major Eisenhower. Ike sent for the man and displayed the marked cards for him to see. The cheater probably had little or no idea that Major Eisenhower was an expert card player, so he tried to bluff his way through the questioning. When he refused to confess to his guilt, Ike pressured him. Years later, Ike recalled the scene. When push came to shove, Ike looked the man straight in the eye and said, "I can show you exactly where you have marked them. Would you like me to do it?" The guilty man stammered, Ike recalled, and then said "No." Ike continued as follows: "Would you rather resign at once for the good of the service or would you like to be tried by court-martial?" The man agreed to resign from the Army. A few days later, the father of the cheater appeared at Camp Colt with the United States Congressman from his district. The Congressman suggested to Ike that the man be reinstated in the Army and then transferred to another camp. Ike politely refused. Then the Congressman asked whether Ike would consider deleting the words "for the good of the service" from the guilty man's written resignation. Ike refused. Then, Ike remembered, "the congressman got angry and said he thought I was acting arbitrarily for a Major." Ike replied that he was simply "acting as an Army officer protecting my command." Eisenhower knew that a man who would cheat his fellow officers could never be trusted to lead soldiers into war. And that was that. © Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission, Washington, DC, 2004

from Brenda Duckwall:

The Harrison Home is at 3840 Otterdam Road in Surry County.

The land where the home is located and about 1000 acres belonged to our Ellis ancestors from the early 1600's. The land and original home was given by Bolling Ellis to his daughter and our ancestor Ann Rebecca Ellis who married Joshua Simmons Harrison. It was passed down or purchased by sons and daughters: William Franklin Harrison, Joshua James Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Jr., and presently to Julian R. Harrison III and his sister, Robin Harrison Mitchell.

Notes:

Thanks so much, Gene. My dad was so proud of his Virginia heritage. He always told my mom that Georgia was settled by debtors' prison inmates. In my research ,I found my mom's close ancestors were from
Virginia. I guess they came south looking for cheap land through a lottery. My great grandfather who served in the Civil War was an overseer on someone else's plantation north of Macon. So maybe my dad was right. All of this is so interesting! Why didn't they tell us more? Again, thank you for such a fantastic website. Bonnie
