Enslaver Information
Name: Mary L. Harrison Location:
Previous Enslaver: Julia C. Paul
Enslaver Notes:
Although the Ledger and CMSR listed J.O. Harrison as enslaver, Mary L. Harrison filed the compensation claim, as the enslaver of Edmond Mead. Mary was not retrieved on the 1860 slave schedule.
An 1860 census and slave schedule was retrieved for O. J. Harrison in Oldham County, KY, listed with a male slave matching the approximate age of Edmond Mead, but this connection was not validated during this search. https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7668/images/kym653_405-0334?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=658d9bfe4995b186002eef31ab9374da&usePUB=true&_phsrc=EQf7&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&_gl=1*frifpn*_gcl_au*MTEzMjU2NjQ5LjE2ODUzNzk3NTQ.&pId=92918338
