About Edward Moon
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/86172937/edward-harris-moon
Edward was a merchant. His great-uncle Captain Harris took him and his brother Isaac into the business. After the death of Captain Harris, Edward, along with his brothers Isaac and John, inherited the Harris estate and business. Every year Edward and Isaac made the trip to Memphis and New Orleans to buy cotton. Edward usually went to New Orleans while Isaac continued on to Memphis. In 1852 Edward made the whole trip alone due to an illness Isaac had. On the return trip there was a fire on the boat as he was attempting to save his leather trunk full of money for the business transactions in Memphis he was stricken with apoplexy and died on the shore. He was buried at the family plot at Viewment Plantation.
