| John and Harriet Marriage License 1883 Source: Tangipahoa Clerk Office |
For decades I couldn't find anything on maternal great-grandfather Alexander brother John. Today all of that changed. I decided to look at the marriage index of all the Harrell men who were married between 1850 and 1950 in Tangipahoa Parish Clerks Office. I looked at every John marriage records. One of the documents revealed my great Uncle John. John was married to Harriett Harrison on June 21st, 1883. He was twenty-nine years old and, his bride was twenty-two years old. His parents names were on the marriage license; that how I know, I had the right, John. I hope that I can continue to find records on him. I want to find out if he and his wife had any children. If so, where are they? John was born in 1852 in Louisiana. His parents were Robert and Darkus Harrell. John was one year younger than his brother Alexander. In 1880 John moved out of his parents house in St. Helena Parish and moved to Tangipahoa in 1880.
