  	Postem from: Amanda Cole May Date: June 11, 2007 Hi I am doing my family tree and was searching Weakley County, Tn for the Hart Family. I got a copy of a David Harr / Hart who married a Masouri Woods, I got a copy of that marriage license if you want a copy. I guess its Harr and not Hart but at the time I wasn't sure. Please make contact, Amanda maggiemay78362(at)yahoo.com

His children married into some of the earliest pioneering families in the county - the Johnsons and Allens. There is only a single Zinc obelisk monument on this site and it is for 2 persons. Charles W Harr was his son. Enumeration: David Harr Born June 24, 1819 Died June 24, 1867 "He is not Dead, But Sleepeth" ~and on the other side~ Charles W Harr Born Sept 21, 1850 Died Feb 14, 1879 "Gone from our Home But not from our Hearts" Photo's: http://www.txgenweb5.org/txkaufman/kithkin/harrcw.htm "Zonie Reed & Silla Broughton were best friends - Priscilla's father was a circuit preacher and she lived in the Reed home for a couple of years while attending school, probably in Kemp. In September 1875 Zonie Reed was engaged to marry Thomas H. Wingo, and the plan was for a double wedding with Silla Broughton and her sweetheart, Charlie Harr. Zonie & Tom did marry, but Silla and Charlie never made it to the altar. Here is their story: The wedding festivites included a huge Wedding Breakfast before the ceremony on their wedding day, with all the Reed, Broughton, Wingo & Harr families attending. For days before the wedding Silla & Zonie cleaned, sewed, baked and cooked preparing for the big event and caring for their guests, some of whom had come from long distances, days in advance. They literally exhausted themselves working to make everything as perfect as it could be. The night before the wedding day Silla went to bed early to rest. She went to sleep and she died. She was only 19 years old. The family story states that Charles was never the same after Silla died & he died in 1879, from what family describes as a broken heart. He is buried in the Harr Family Cemetery . It is not known where Priscilla is buried, but believed she is in an unmarked grave in the Kaufman City Cemetery where other Broughtons are interred. Tom Wingo & Zonie Reed put their wedding off until 21 Oct 1875. They married, had a son in 1876 & in 1886 Zonie died in childbirth - she had lost at least 2 children in miscarriages from 1876 to 1886. She is buried in Kemp Cemetery . Tom Wingo remarried to Stella Matney in Kaufman on 12 Jan 1888"
