Eliza Susan Harris

"Judge Harris' wife was Eliza Flournoy, sister of my grandfather William C. Flournoy, 1 She was born November 18, 1794 and died April 16 1829. They are buried at "Locust Hill" where Amos Richardson's mother lives, on the Brick Church Pike, about two miles north-east of Pulaski, in the Flournoy burying ground there. Upon that plateau, Silas Flournoy, Mrs. Harris' father, settled in the fall of 1816 or winter of 1816-17, there he died May 18, 1822. Of Judge Harris' three children who reached maturity, Martha married Jerome Pillow and died childless. Alfred married Martha Jones Squire Lew Jones' sister and died in Shreveport, La., childless and Eliza went to Louisiana with her uncle Dr. Alfred Flournoy, married a gentleman named Watson and has descendants in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. A small upright monument marks the two graves of Judge Harris and his wife in the Flournoy burying-ground. In the Minute Book of 1828, Thursday, February 21, 1828, the court heard of the death of Judge Harris, which took place about 6 o'clock this morning at his residence in the town of Pulaski. The court adjourned out of respect to his memory, resolved to attend the funeral "this afternoon", directed that the members of the bar wear crepe on the left arm for thirty days, page 105, 106. There is some connection in this direction that gives Newt White his middle name "Harris", and to his brother Mr. George White, his middle name "Simpson", but I don't know what it is and they know less about it than I do."
