Over the past
month or so, I've met some new descendants and each had something to
add to my research. I only found out of their existence over the
past year or so. Both of these men are now residing in Cleveland,
Ohio.
On January 1, 2006, I contacted Calvin Harris who also gave me the telephone number of his maternal uncle, LeRoy Harris..
Calvin Harris aka Lonnie Martin, age 74
Calvin is the son of Annie Harris, the daughter of Frank and Emma Barrow Harris. Calvin was born 03/20/1931 in Tuskegee, AL. Annie died when
Calvin was a little boy--he doesn't remember anything about his
mother. She was shot by a boyfriend and later died of her
wounds. Calvin would eventually be raised by Ms. Elvira Barrow-Martin.
This is about when Calvin began using the alias Lonnie Martin.
When he was about 15 years old, he began working at the saw mill in
Tuskegee. He worked along side my Uncle Charles Harris,
aka Uncle Moot. When Calvin was about 20 years old, my Uncle
Henry aka Bayboy brought him to Yardley, Pa. He later married,
May Bell and moved to Trenton, NJ. Once in Trenton he lived with
my sister Louise and her husband William Howard.
Leroy Harris
Leroy Harris is the son of Frank and Emma Barrow Harris.
Leroy was
married to Zepherine ?, who was born in Georgia. They have
two children: Gwen born in 1955 and Allen born in
1956. His wife, Zepherine died in 1980.
It was
extremely nice to talk with both of my older cousins. They did
remember my parents as well as my other Aunts and Uncles.
Hopefully, I will have the chance to meet both of them this summer.
