Buried at Hunter Cemetery no gravestone. leading Republican, died Friday in Mt. Pleasant of protracted illness; (Columbia Herald, 12 June 1891.)
According to "Goodspeed's History of Maury County, p. 926, Thomas A. Harris, a widely known citizen of Mount Pleasant, was born in Halifax County, Va. June 20, 1820. He was the second son of a family of three sons and three daughters born to Thomas F. and Ann L. (COBB) HARRIS, natives respectively of Powhattan Co., Va. and Granville Co., N.C. Our subject resided with his parents on the farm until 1846; in 1839 he was one of the escorts of Gen Samuel Houston from West Tennessee to the republic of Texas. In June of 1846 he enlisted in the Mexican War in Co. C, Tennessee Cavalry. He was first married to Miss Sarah H. Cooper of Maury County, and to them were born one son and one daughter: Millard F (deceased) and Anna L. Mrs. Harris died in October 1856 (note month does not agree with gravestone listed above.). On December 23, 1859 Mr. Harris married Elizabeth J. Stockard, who died October 8, 1868. For three months of the Civil War, Mr. Harris was second lieutenant of the State militia. He was a Whig previous to the war, but later became a Republican. He was in Washington when the news came of Robert E. Lee's surrender, and was in Ford's Theater at the time of the assassination of President Lincoln. He was an Odd Fellow and a member of the Episcopal Church. His juvenile career was somewhat checkered and romantic, with many incidents of pleasure and hardships in thirty states and under four governments. His life since the Mexican War has been devoted exclusively to his family duties in Maury County.
