Harmon (my paternal 2nd great grandfather) was a son of Robert and Lucinda (Russell) Alcorn and was born in 1832 in Jackson County, TN.
He had 10 known siblings:
1) James Washington (1819-1888)
2) Richard James (1821-1862)
3) John C. (1823-?)
4) William (1825-?)
5) Anna Minerva "Annie" Alcorn Brakefield (1826-1907)
6) Emaline (1829-?)
7) Elizabeth Elliott Alcorn Pyrtle (1836-1883)
8) Alexander Madison (b. Nov. 1841, married Narcissa and moved to Colquitt, GA by 1900)
9) Robert James (1842-1933)
10) Riley (1845-?)
Harmon married Elvira Smith (daughter of Hugh and Ann Smith) on June 8, 1856 in DeKalb Co., TN. Prior to the birth of their first child, my paternal great-grandfather Lafayette on July 31,1858, they moved to Washington Co., MO along with Harmon's and Elvira's parents.
Harmon and Elvira were among the first settlers to co-found the Emmaus Missionary Baptist Church in Courtois, Washington Co., MO on February 11, 1861. I visited this church and took photos of it and the cemetery on the church grounds where Harmon and Elvira are buried.
To my knowledge, Harmon and Elvira had a total of 7 children.
