Mary Ann Harris

Mary Ann Harris (maiden name: Ball) married William Harris in Pike County, Ohio, on January 2, 1855. Together, they had nine children: Beatrice, born October 21, 1856; Thomas, born March 19, 1858; William, born March 19, 1859; Barreteen, born September 15, 1861; Elizabeth, born March 20, 1863; Charles, born November 24, 1866; John, born December 30, 1868; Priscilla, born June 26, 1871; and Annetta, born December 4, 1878. Harris and her family moved to Paulding County in 1868. Her husband died on May 13, 1900, and she eventually secured a widow's pension of $8 per month. She probably passed away sometime between September 4, 1903, and January 23, 1904, when the War Department dropped her pension.
