I have Moses Oliver Harrison born August 12, 1854.This corresponds well with the 1860 Coffee County, AL, census which shows a Moses O., age 6, on page 792 in John A. Harrison's household.The letter from Rena simply is interesting and provided a "point of departure"' for further research.I have Moses O. Harrison and Saphronia A. Hurst's marriage date (from a copy of pages from a family Bible) as March 8, 1877.

John Franklin Harrison, born Sept. 18, 1878

The dating problem may be a transcription error.I'll go back and check the original letter from Rena Harrison Peake when I have a moment.
The other dates were in a letter to my aunt from Aunt Fro dated 3/13/1984.Her letter also says that Moses Oliver died November 25, 1926 as a result of injuries received in an auto accident.Haven't located his death certificate yet, but haven't tried very hard.
I'll let you know when I verify any of the dates.Later!Patty
