right onto Chewning Rd., and continue for 1.9 miles. Cemetery is on the left, on the farm path beside the house with

chimneys in the woods on the right; the cemetery is in the woods north of these chimneys (all that is left of the old
house).
This plantation is referred to as Woodlawn and Ravenwood in early records. The family cemetery was recorded by
WPA in 1939 (Woodlawn). Pressley Davis of Abrams Plains recorded and mapped it at a later date
(Chewning-Lanier). Kitty Humphries recorded it 4-20-1980 (Hicks).
Jessie McLam & Kitty Humphries visited this cemetery for the Granville County Genealogy Society on 2-13- 2002.
The data listed is a combination of previous recordings & family data. Cemetery is in poor shape, and has been
vandalized.

Edgar M. Harris (September 18, 1869 – December 24, 1929)
Compiled by Linda A. Perdue
Several years ago, I came across the obituary of my great-grandfather, George Andrew Perdue. In the
obituary it listed a number of survivors. Over the last decade, I have gone on a quest to find each of
these people and try to determine as much as I can about each of them. Now, almost 100 years has gone
by since George Andrew Perdue passed making this task a fun puzzle to piece together. The obituary
lists the following:
He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Belle Vaughan of this city, nine children and 25
grand children, three nephews and one niece. The children are: F. A. and W. C. Perdue, of
Raleigh, Mrs. J. H. Edwards, of Epsom; Mrs. W. S. Strange, Mrs. D. H. Carter, Mrs. H. B.
Clapton, Mrs. George Rooker, Miss Flora Perdue and George Ollie Perdue, of this city. The
nieces and nephews surviving often are E. M. Harris, of this city; John Perdue of Los Angeles,
California; Jim Perdue and Mrs. F. J. Reedy, of Nashville, Tenn.
Many of these names were familiar as they are his children. However, a few I was not familiar with and
required a bit of research. My research has been to try and find out more about “E. M. Harris, of this
city”. Since the obituary was in the Henderson newspaper, it meant that “E. M. Harris” was in
Henderson, North Carolina in 1929.
Thus far, I have been able to find little information about this nephew, but this is my current compilation
for Edgar M. Harris. I do not know what the “M” stands for, but I do know that Macon L. Perdue is the
grandfather of Edgar M. Harris and perhaps that is what the “M” stands for. George Andrew Perdue
had two known sisters – Virginia Perdue (born about 1847) and Alice Perdue (born about 1844). This is
based on the 1850 census record.

Granville Connections 51 GCGS 1746, Inc. June 2017
This individual was buried at Harris Cemetery on December 26, 1929 (the day after Christmas). I do
not know whether he has a stone in this cemetery (and whether it is readable or not – if anyone else
knows – please let me know).
As I continue with my search, I am finding that there are several “Ed M Harris” individuals born about
the same time in the same area. There appears to be even more that are named “Andrew J. Harris”.
With the duplication of these names, it is making research more difficult, but I am also working to ensure
that I make the family history accurate.
I’m looking for anyone that can possibly help me with missing links on this family. I have made a few
assumptions which I believe are valid (and contradict what I see on several family trees on Ancestry).
I’m still digging for more information that will help to either build a stronger case, or possibly indicate
that some of my research is not correct. If you can help, please contact me at my email,
[email protected] and I thank you in advance!

Fire at Henderson 17 May 1879
FIRE AT HENDERSON – On the morning of the 17
th
inst., the business portion of the village of
Henderson, on the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad was laid in ashes. It originated in a building recently
occupied by Dr. Debnam, the fire commencing about 3 o’clock, a.m. No doubt it was the work of an
incendiary. The village had no fire organization and the devouring flame defied all their efforts. By
timely precaution the Methodist Church was saved and the fire arrested. We deeply sympathize with the
sufferers. About one fourth of the loss will be made good by insurance. The following is a list of the
sufferers:
Lewis H. Kittle, merchant, amount of goods lost not known; store house and shop estimated at $1,800. J.
H. Davis, the store building occupied by B. G. Clarke, P. W. Wyche, Agent, about $1,500. B. G. Clarke,
nearly whole stock of goods, at a rough estimate $1,000. Barnard $400 to $500, insurance covering $750
of entire stock. Post Office and residence of Mrs. V. C. McCraw, P. M. $1,500. Watkins’ store building,
occupied by J. R. Barnard $2,500, insured fully. Hardy Harriss nearly entire stock destroyed,
approximated at $500.
Jno. W. Barnes’ store building (Debnam stand) $800. Dr. J. C. Debnam $2,000. J. B. Debnam, $500. W.
H. Hughes $1,000 to $1,200. Mrs. A. H. Alley, Henderson Hotel, residence and other buildings, $8,000.
Burwell & Parham, merchanges, $25,000, insured for $15,000. Cicero W. Harris, editor and publisher of
the Henderson Index, the whole types, fixtures, books, etc, of the office at a low estimate $1,500.
W. Hamilton Young, attorney at law, law library, papers, etc., $1,000. R. Lassiter, Son & Co., store
house, dwelling and goods, $3,000, insured fully. James H. Lassiter, goods, about $2,500 to $3,000.
J. G. Saunders, goods, roughly estimated at from $300 to $400. E.I. {?} Fasnach, bookseller and
jewelier, unable to give an estimate correctly, insured above amount of loss. Green & Barnett, tailors,
slight.
A. W. Rowland, druggist, $1,000. W. C. Harris, $100 to $500. Dr. W. W. Young, store house, occupied
by W. C. Harris, $600. D. E. Young, nine buildings and goods, $16,000 half insured. J. E. Clarke, store
and bar, $1,500 to $5,000. John W. Vaughan, two buildings and goods, $1,500 to $2,000, insured for
$1,000. W. H. Harris, $200 to $300. C. Ledbetter, $500.
Besides these are other sufferers for smaller sums, estimates of which are not in my possession. The total
approximated loss is $80,000.
