I am trying to find the family of my GGGrandmother, Caroline Elizabeth
(Carrie) Harrison, who married Robert Glover Lanham in Noxubee Co, MS on
April 7, 1864.  Robert was from Edgefield Co, SC and was serving as Captain
in Company D, 6th South Carolina Infantry (stationed in Tennessee at the
time).
According to the 1880 Census of Grayson Co, TX, Carrie was 37 years old
(birthdate 1842/43 if correct) and born in SC.  Robert was 39, and their
sons were Thomas, age 14, and Wiley, age 13 (also born in SC -- family
information indicates that they moved in the early 1870's).  Also in the
family was a nephew, Joe Harrison, age 3 and born in TX.
Carrie's family was not listed in the 1850 Census of Noxubee Co, MS so I
seem to be looking for a Harrison family who moved there after that date
(though there were several Harrisons there much earlier who may have been
related).  It is also possible that her family was in the adjoining MS
county, Lowndes.  From an old photograph showing two girls, I think Carrie
had at least one sister, but other family members are unknown.
Thank you for any help you can give.
