    Eden Harris was born in that part of Montgomery County Virginia that later became part of Floyd County Virginia. Eden married Catherine Hurst at Wythe County Virginia and lived there when that part of Wythe County Virginia became part of Pulaski County Virginia in 1839. Jesse, Samuel and Frank were born in Wythe County Virginia but the next four were probably all born in Pulaski County Virginia. The family moved from Wythe County Virginia to Pulaski County Virginia probably in the early spring of 1840. They lived in the Newbern area of Pulaski County Virginia until they moved to Carroll County Virginia in 1852 when Eden bought about 2500 acres of land along the Dugspur Road and along Burhes Fork Creek around Laurel Fork and Dugspur in Carroll County Virginia. Eden also bought another 120 acres on Big Reed Island Creek Virginia from William Hurst on February 9th 1852. This was his wife's father and could be the reason he moved to Carroll County Virginia. He later bought an additional 400 acres on Burkes Fork Virginia in 1854 Book 9 Page 33 and Carroll County Deed Book. The 1860 Census lists two females living with them Darthula Black age 21 and Louise Richardson age 17. Also living with him was Frances Alderman born in 1846. They were all farmers and seemed to do well.

    The two females quoted by my cousin Wade above is not so I have a photo copy of the census I got from Jones Memorial Library on Friday February 18th 2006 and they are not listed only females listed are Catherine and Francis Alderman so see it for yourself. Eden and his family lived at Dugspur Carroll County Virginia he had a farm of 2000 dollars real estate and 685 dollars personal property as recorded on the 1860 Carroll County Census page 85 line 14 see my link. It seems like every body who has any history on Eden Harris has something a little different or nothing at all but I have at least one proof and that is the 1860 Census of Carroll County Virginia page 85 line 14 that lists Eden Harris and people living with him Catherine, William F., John H., James R., Joseph R. and Francis Alderman at the time of the census on July 21st 1860 A.W.C Nowlin ass't Marshal that I obtained a copy from the Jones Memorial Library and also a copy of the same census page from my father George Benjamin Harris files dated Oct. 03 1995 15:42 Jones Memorial Library. I will endear to do more research for proof at Jones Memorial Library and will document such proof as I find it or some one else supplies it to me so I do not know what is what until I can get some proof.

      Jesse T. Harris served in the Confederate Army as a company clerk and in the Quartermaster Corps of Company F of the 54th Virginia Infantry. Jesse apparently moved to Raleigh County West Virginia about late 1865 or early 1866. Jesse moved to Monroe County West Virginia. Jesse is buried at Foster Cemetery near Union West Virginia.

      Jesse T. Harris (to date no documentation has been found for the name Thomas). Several of us as well as ardent Hurst researchers concur that the middle name for Jesse is in all probability Thompson as Thompson continues for several generations in this line and Thomas is not found at all. It is likely, but at this time pure speculation, that Thompson is Eden's mother's maiden name. Jesse T. Harris and Mildred "Millie" Elizabeth Carnahan were married Nov. 13, 1856 in Surry Co., NC. I found their marriage record there.

    Mr. Sutphin Of New Jersey

    William Franklin Harris went through a lot of trials and hardships in his time and so did his brothers. Frank was born at Pulaski County Virginia on February 6th 1840. Pulaski County Virginia was formed from Montgomery County Virginia and Wythe County Virginia on 1839. The first court in Pulaski County Virginia was held on May 9th 1839. Newbern Virginia was the county seat until 1895. The courthouse burned down and was rebuilt in the town of Pulaski Virginia making it the county seat, which it still is today. The Harris family lived somewhere near Newbern Virginia. When Wade Wilburn was a boy, his mother told him that her grandfather came from Newbern Virginia to Laurel Fork Virginia. The Harris family was all farmers and when they moved from Pulaski Virginia to Carroll County Virginia probably about 1854 they acquired quite a bit of land. Most of their land was located on Dugspur Road between Dugspur Virginia and Laurel Fork Virginia. Frank enlisted in Company F of the 54th Virginia Infantry Regiment on September 9th 1861. He was assigned as courier to regiment commander Colonel Robert Trigg and was later transferred to the Pioneer Corps. Colonel Trigg commended him after the battle of Chickamauga for capturing the state flag of the 22nd Michigan Infantry Regiment during the battle of Snodgrass Hill. Wade Wilburn has visited this exact sight at the battlefield and they say it looks much like it did then. It would be tough fighting there today. A battlefield marker telling of the movements of the troops on that day marks the jumping off point of the 54th in this battle. The 54th saw some of the hardest and meanest fighting of the war. They were soundly beaten at Bentonville, North Carolina on March 19th 1865. The Regiment lost its battle flag to the 14th Michigan Regiment in this battle. The flag was returned to the Commonwealth of Virginia in ceremonies at Lansing Michigan on September 20th 1941. It was placed in the Confederate Memorial Institute by then Governor James H. Price. Frank married Narcissa Jane Bolt also known as Cis on September of 1865 only a few months after the Civil War ended. Narcissa is the child of William H. C. Bolt a soldier who at the age of forty-four was killed in the Battle of Saltville on October 1864. Frank and Cis had nine children, seven boys and two girls.

    The 54th Virginia Infantry Regiment roster lists as follows BOLT, WILLIAM H. C.: Sgt. in Co. I. Age 40 in 1860 Carroll County Virginia census, enlisted, 5/29/61 at Wytheville Virginia.

      The following is an updated newspaper article from an unnamed newspaper

      Rockbridge Woman Heads Operations Of Big Farm
      Mrs. C. E.Kemp Native of Carroll
      By Mrs. V. T. Strickler
      Buena Vista October 24th

      Friends from all around gathered at the Kemp home near Cross Roads Store in Rockbridge County Sunday afternoon to offer felicitations to Mrs. C. E. Kemp on her 80th birthday.

      Six of her seven children, a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren were there and those who participated at the open house were Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Weeks of Fairfield; Mrs. Calvin Tyree of Mt. Sidney; Mr. and Mrs. Guy Kemp of Fairfield; Mrs. W. P. Mabry of Waynesboro; Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Kemp of Roanoke; Mrs. j. j. Sutphin of Wellville; Mrs. Paul Heslep; Mrs. Albert Kemp, Posie Kemp, Jackie Kemp all of Fairfield and Anne Kemp of Roanoke. Many were the congratulatory messages and gifts presented this octogenarian.

      Catherine Elizabeth Harris Kemp, a native of Carroll County, came to Rockbridge with her seven small children one year after her husband, William Albert Kemp, died and settled on the farm where she now lives. They had been farming near East Radford but this woman decided she was going in business for herself and she purchased 120 acres of land and later added 30 more.

      Well informed about crops in general and cleaver in the use of farm implements she gradually added to her supply until today her farm is as well equipped as any in the community. And she was able to operate the machinery too. It was nothing for her to hitch up a two-horse plow or wagon and work all day. All kinds of grain were raised but the chief products now are hay and pasture land for her herds of cattle. Her successful farming has been due to hard work and good planning.

      For more than 35 years Mrs. Kemp has brought her garden and dairy products to Buena Vista. At first she used a horse and buggy to deliver products and many a cold winter morning this undaunted woman rode the nine miles to this city with a lighted lantern at her feet. Once, she recalled, her horse became frightened at an approaching train and attempted to cross the track ahead of the rushing train, but she pulled the reins hard and quickly forcing the animal to make a sudden turn. This upset the buggy throwing milk cans, vegetables, fruits and fowls here and there but she held on the reins and was not hurt.

      Later a pick up truck was used to transport produce and although she does not bring in as much as she used to she comes every Tuesday, but a daughter comes with her and drives the car.

      For a number of years Mrs. Kemp has lived alone and although her son, Guy, who lives on the place has assumed the management of the farm, she works her own garden, milks two cows, attends to a flock of chickens and does all of her housework. She is a staunch member of the Old Stone Presbyterian Church at Timber Ridge and attributes her good health to her ability not to worry and the fact those years ago she learned to put her trust in the lord. One of her greatest pleasures now is the enjoyment she gets from watching television. She has her special programs.

      She has always answered the call to the sick and needy in the community and she literally fulfills Sam Walter Foss' definition of friendship "Let me live in a house by the road and be a friend to man."
