Fleming Matthew Harris, aka F.M., Mattie, Maddie (and some thought his name was Frances Marion Harris or Frances Madison Harris) was born 2/4/1809 in Union County, SC to Samuel G. Harris (DOB: abt 1772 in Virginia ; DOD: Between 1850-1860 in Union County, SC ) and Tryphena Harris (DOB: 12/14/1771 in Virginia; DOD: 8/23/1855 in Union County, SC).
Augusta Ann, aka Gustie Ann, Gusta Ann, Gustiana, Duska, Gusty was born 5/23/1813 in Union County, SC to Fleming Harris aka Flemmin Harris (DOB: ? in ? ; DOD: ? in ? son of Thomas Harris and Sarah Lacy) and Jane Sharp (DOB: ? ; DOD: ? daughter of ? ). They married before 1831 in Union County, SC. Tryphena Harris Harris was the sister of Flemmin Harris so Fleming Matthew Harris and Augusta Ann Harris were 1st cousins.
Union County was formed in 1775 after the Cherokee Indians gifted the land to the Greenville/Spartanburg County lines to the King as a good will gesture. Settlers poured into the new land and Samuel and Fleming Matthew Harris were two of them. Samuel Harris and his family, were one of the first pioneer families in Union County.

Harris residing in Union District - in said State and engaged in the cultivation of the Said in the District of Union Such Supplies as the undersigned may require for the cultivation of share crops to the Limits of One Hundred Dollars - ..."
[Dated 21 April 1868]
They were Methodists and were members of Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church when they died. This is where they are buried. Unfortunately, since he was usually known by his F.M., and their tombstone was erected later by someone who didn't know his name. So Fleming is buried under a tombstone that has Francis Marion Harris on it.
Fleming Matthew Harris and Augusta Ann Harris had 14 children:
1) Frances Cornelia Harris (DOB: abt 1831 in Union County, SC; DOD: ? ) married William Fraser (DOB: abt 1845 in ? ; DOD: ? ) and had 2 children that I'm aware of: George Fraser and Mary Ann Fraser.
2) James Marion "Marron" or "Marrion" Harris (DOB: 1/18/1834 in Union County, SC; DOD: 4/1865 in Burgess Mill, VA) married Sarah Ann Bevill (DOB: abt 1834 in Union County, SC; DOD: 10/27/1889 in Union County, SC) about 1857 in Union County, SC. They had 3 children: James Riley Harris, Edna Harris, and Joseph Oscar Harris.
3) Cicily Ann or Catherine Ann Harris (DOB: 7/25/1836 in Union County, SC; DOD: 6/1882 in Union County, SC ) married John Floyd (DOB: ? ; DOD: ? ) and Arthur Lipsey (DOB: ? ; DOD: ? ).
4) Sarah Jane Harris (DOB: 3/18/1838 in Union County, SC; DOD: Before 1850 in Union County, SC )
5) Anne "Annie" Taylor Harris (DOB: 11/18/1840 in Union County, SC; DOD: 1/1908 in West End, Union County, SC) married M. Earl Fowler (DOB: abt 1829 in ? ; DOD: 4/24/1878 in Union County, SC). They had 6 children that I'm aware of: Marion Folwer, Isabella Fowler, Augusta Ann Fowler, Nancy Fowler, William W. Fowler, Joe E. Fowler.
6) Millie Eugenia Harris (DOB: 10/20/1842 in Union County, SC; DOD: 3/23/1924 in Union County, SC) married J. Gist Farr (DOB: 8/12/1836 in Union County, SC; DOD: 8/26/1899 in Union County, SC) in 1865. They had 7 children that I'm aware of: Edward Marvin Farr, W. T. Farr, Doretha Farr, John Anderson Farr, James Waitus Farr, Aurrie Farr, Carrie Farr.
7) Patricia "Tricia", "Trisher", "Fisher" "Trish", "Trisherann" Ann Harris (DOB: 12/8/1843 in Union County, SC; DOD: ? in Union County, SC). In the 1860 Census, Patricia Ann is listed as "insane".
8) William Edward Harris (DOB: 12/29/1845 in Union County, SC; DOD: 7/20/1864 in Petersburg, VA) never married. In the 1860 Census, Edward is listed as "idiot". Although he was able to serve in the Civil War with 2 of his brothers and died in service.
9) Anderson Kennedy Harris, "Kanislau", "Kannaela", "A.K." Harris (DOB: 4/26/1848 in Union County, SC; DOD: 3/1928 in Union County, SC) married Sallie Austin (DOB: 9/1847 in SC; DOD: ? ). They had 2 children: Willie M. Harris, Oliver "Ollie" R. Harris. Anderson also had a child by his deceased brother's widow, Sarah Ann Bevill. This child was Robert Jackson Harris. Anderson's Civil War records list his name as Kennedy. Who ever wrote the names in Gamewell Harris' Family Bible could not spell and had it as Kanislau. Sarah Ann Bevill had knitted the 3 brothers socks and sent them. They were wearing them when they were in Petersburg. Anderson and Edward were there when the explosion occurred and Edward was killed. Anderson was buried up to his neck but he promised a plug of tobacco to a Yankee if he would dig him out so he survived. Anderson saw Edward's feet sticking out of the dirt with the socks from Sarah. That was how he identified him. He said "My brother is under that dirt because I know it by that sock."
"Captain Jacob Q. Carpenter Cp 1344
Sons of Confederate Veterans
'The Victory of a Soldier's Death'
Camp 1344 Sons of Confederate Veterans held it's regular monthly meeting at the home of Mike Bolin near Cherokee Creek Church for a barbecue chicken dinner. Guests of honor were a real son and a real daughter of Confederate soldiers. F.W. Strapp, F. Co. 18 CS Inf. R.B. Ramsey, son of W.D. Ramsey, gave an interesting talk on some of the stories his father, the Confederate soldier, told, when he was very young. There were about 40 people present at the meeting. The flags of the Confederacy and the flag of SC were prominently displayed. Because so many of those present were descendants of men who had been blown up by the great mine at Petersburg, the conversation drifted into a discussion of that incident which took place on the morning of 7/30/1864. From official reports it can be found that Elliott's Brigade, Johnson's Division, Anderson's Corps, held the strong point. It was composed of 17th, 18th, 23rd, 22nd, 26th and Holcomb SC Legion. From the casualty reports it would seem that the 18th was commanded by L-C W.B. Allison and the 22nd by Col. W.G. Burt. Two companies of the 18th were organized in what is now Cherokee County, N. of the Pacolet, one of which was "F" Company. "B" Company of the 22nd seems to have been made up largely of North of the Pacolet men as well. "B" Company must have been right over the charge for nearly half the company including it's captain were lost in the explosion. Part of the "F" Company, 18th SC was also buried in the explosion. Among them was Mike Bolin's, host for the meeting, grandfather, Edward Harris; his brother, Marion. While a second brother, Anderson, was covered by the explosion, he was dug out and captured. Bolin is shown in the accompanying picture in a Confederate General Officer's uniform. Anyone who had an ancestor who was involved in the "Battle of the Crater" mentioned above and who left some interesting stories about it is invited to write the stories down and send them to Lt. Col. David Quinn, 106 Carter Heights Drive, Gaffney, SC." Source: The Gaffney Leger, Wednesday, April 19, {page torn}, Page 8A
He was in the18th Infantry Regiment. It was assembled during the winter of 1861-1862 with men from Laurens County and other counties in the northwestern part of the state. After serving in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, it was ordered to Virginia. During the war it was assigned to General Evans', Elliott's, and Wallace's Brigade. The 18th fought at Second Manassas, South Mountain, and Sharpsburg, moved to North Carolina, then saw action at Jackson, Mississippi. Returning to South Carolina, it was involved in the operations around Charleston. During the spring of 1864 the unit was sent back to Virginia where it participated in the Petersburg siege north and south of the James River and the Appomattox Campaign. This regiment lost forty-nine percent of the 230 engaged at Second Manassas and had 3 killed and 39 wounded during the Maryland Campaign. In September, 1863, there were 363 present for duty and at the Petersburg mine explosion, 205 were disabled. It sustained many casualties at Sayler's Creek and surrendered 16 officers and 139 men. The field officers were Colonels James M. Gadberry and William H. Wallace, Lieutenant Colonels W.B. Allison and Ferinand Scaife, and Major Rolet J. Betsill.
According to the Union County, SC Death Notices from Early Newspapers 1852-1914, compiled by Tommy Vaughn, pg 12, 9/27/1878 (Union Times), "Henry Smith, son of Newell Smith, was killed by Anderson Harris on a difficulty Wednesday AM last (9/18/1878) on Mount Tabor Rd." In issue of 6/20/1879 Harris was found "not guilty". Some man was threatening one of Anderson's nephews (James Marion's son). Anderson told the man to stop and the man continued so Anderson hit him with a pick ax.

Fleming Matthew Harris and Augusta Ann Harris (they were first cousins) had 14 children. Gamewell Calhoun Harris was the 12th of 14 children. But this story is about 3 of his older brothers, James Marion Harris, Anderson Kennedy Harris and William Edward Harris.
James Marion Harris was born 1/18/1834 in Union County, SC. He married Sarah Ann Bevill in 1857 in Union County, SC. They had 3 children before he leaves for the Civil War: James Riley Harris, Edna Harris, and Joseph Oscar Harris.
William Edward Harris was born 12/29/1845 in Union County, SC. He never married. In the 1860 Census he is listed as an "Idiot" but he was able to fight in the Civil War so it's debatable as to what that means.
Anderson Kennedy Harris was born 4/16/1848 in Union County, SC. This story is about Anderson.

James Marion, William Edward and Anderson Kennedy Harris joined the C.S.A. 18th SC Infantry Regiment, Co. A. The sad story is about William Edward and A.K. Harris who were at the seige of Petersburg. The Union troops had dug a tunnel beneath their position and set off an explosion that killed most of Co. A. After the explosion there was the Battle of the Crater. The explosion created a crater and the Union soldiers ran into the crater but, in the confusion, they didn't realize they were sitting ducks. Confederates rushed to the edge of the crater and began shooting into the mess. After the battle, A.K. became conscious. He was in a pile of dead bodies with his gun across his shoulders. He can hardly move but as he does, a Union soldier runs up and raises his gun to shoot A.K. but another one stops him from shooting a helpless and unarmed man. A.K. asks them to help him out and they do. Then he begins to look for his brother and saw William Edward's feet sticking out of the bodies. The Union soldier helped him get the body out and bury him and then took A.K. as prisoner. A.K. ends up at City Point Prisoner of War Camp and was transferred to Elmira Prisoner of War Camp in NY on 8/8/1864. He was released from Elmira on 7/7/1865 and he made his way home. He found out that his other brother, James Marion Harris had been killed right before the War ended at Burgess Mill, VA in April, 1865 on Lee's retreat to Appomattox.

At the last celebration of Memorial Day in Union, SC, I met the bearer of the above name and he told me the following story: "I was behind the breastworks at Petersburg when the explosion of the mine occurred. When I came to myself I was lying on top of a pile of dead men in the crater (Petersburg Crater). I had evidently been left for dead along with the others for there was not a man in sight.
"I was pinned in, and could not move my feet at all, and my gun, or at least a gun, was lying across my neck and left side. After a while a young soldier in blue uniform came in sight; about this time, the gun on my neck began to feel very heavy and I made an effort to free my right arm sufficiently to push the gun off of my shoulders.
"Just then the Yankee raised his gun to fire at me, but almost instantly a big soldier stepped out from under cover and knocked up the young soldier's gun so that he fired into the air. The newcomer reprimanded the first solder for firing at a helpless man -- the boy explained that when he saw me move my hand toward the gun on my shoulder he thought I intended to shoot.
"I thanked the big solder for saving my life and begged him to help me get out of the hole into which I was tightly wedged by the forms of the dead men around me.
"I had nothing left to offer my rescuer but a chew of tobacco, but he seemed to appreciate it. After I got out, I was taken prisoner but requested my captors to allow me to examine the dead carefully to see if I could recognize any of them. Looking closely, I thought the legs of a solder seemed familiar -- the head and body were entirely covered by forms lying jumbled together, but the legs were straight in the air, he evidently having been thrown head foremost into the pit at the time of the explosion. The trousers leg was split, and I verified my suspicions as to the identity of the wearer by seeing the name, or rather the initials, on underclothes of my brother.
"Our mother had made the garments for us and marked them by working our initials in black threads on our 'smalls'. I secured permission to remove and bury my brother -- after which I was again taken into custody, and carried to prison."

According to the Union County, SC Death Notices from Early Newspapers 1852-1914, compiled by Tommy Vaughn, pg 12, 9/27/1878 (Union Times), "Henry Smith, son of Newell Smith, was killed by Anderson Harris on a difficulty Wednesday AM last (9/18/1878) on Mount Tabor Rd." In issue of 6/20/1879 Harris was found not guilty.
It seems that Anderson found Henry Smith teasing and making fun of James Marion and Sarah Bevill Harris' son, Joseph Oscar Harris. He demanded the man quit and he wouldn't, so Anderson hit the man with a pick ax killing him.

Anderson Kennedy Harris died 3/26/1938 and is buried at Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church, Union County, SC. At this time I don't know when Sallie Austin Harris died. I would assume she is buried with Anderson Harris at Wesley Chapel.
Fleming Matthew Harris and Augusta Ann Harris had a son named...
...Gamewell Calhoun Harris who married Sarah Breakfield and they had a son named...
......Edward Boyd Harris who married Ida Mae Shaw and they had a son named...
.........Clyde Harris who married Mabel Louise Cohen and they had a son named...
............William Clyde Harris "Billy" who married Peggy Annette Prince and they had a son named...
...............Stan!
Fleming Matthew Harris and Augusta Ann Harris (they were first cousins) had 14 children. Gamewell Calhoun Harris was the 12th of 14 children. But this story is about 3 of his older brothers, James Marion Harris, Anderson Kennedy Harris and William Edward Harris.
James Marion Harris was born 1/18/1834 in Union County, SC. He married Sarah Ann Bevill in 1857 in Union County, SC. They had 3 children before he leaves for the Civil War: James Riley Harris, Edna Harris, and Joseph Oscar Harris.
William Edward Harris was born 12/29/1845 in Union County, SC. He never married. In the 1860 Census he is listed as an "Idiot" but he was able to fight in the Civil War so it's debatable as to what that means.
Anderson Kennedy Harris was born 4/16/1848 in Union County, SC. This story is about Anderson.

According to the Union County, SC Death Notices from Early Newspapers 1852-1914, compiled by Tommy Vaughn, pg 12, 9/27/1878 (Union Times), "Henry Smith, son of Newell Smith, was killed by Anderson Harris on a difficulty Wednesday AM last (9/18/1878) on Mount Tabor Rd." In issue of 6/20/1879 Harris was found not guilty.
It seems that Anderson found Henry Smith teasing and making fun of James Marion and Sarah Bevill Harris' son, Joseph Oscar Harris. He demanded the man quit and he wouldn't, so Anderson hit the man with a pick ax killing him.

Anderson Kennedy Harris died 3/26/1938 and is buried at Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church, Union County, SC. At this time I don't know when Sallie Austin Harris died. I would assume she is buried with Anderson Harris at Wesley Chapel.
