I have a Sarah
Dillard who married Nathan
Harris. Their daughter, Elizabeth A. Harris, was born May 22, 1826, and married
Decatur DeCalb
Simpson Feb. 25, 1847. Elizabeth had a brother Dr. Thomas
Spencer Harris. This is partly from the "Alexander
Simpson Genealogy" by M.W. Monroe, a manuscript she submitted to the
Laurens County SC Library in 1962. I am working on a web page for it, but in the meantime look at the one below and search on "
Decatur DeCalb" and you should find the family connection.
In the "
Monroe" document there is a Charles
Dillard Pierson born 1857, which suggests a connection one or two generations back. Charles' parents J. B. and Rebecca Ross (Glenn)
Pierson "settled on the Buncombe Road, north of
Greenville,
South Carolina."
Visit the web site below and contact the source there for more information. Also contact the
Laurens County SC Library for a copy of "
Monroe" if you wish.
