INFANT(1) was born in 1826.10. Daniel HARTON
(1) was born in 1787 in Warren County, North
Carolina. He died in Sep 1826 in Jackson, Tennessee. The estate records are
in Jackson, Madison County, TN. The administrator was John P. Harton, his brother.
Because he was in business with James Elrod, the children shared in the proceeds
of the business. I never saw the percentage that each partner owned, but the
children, especially the girls, felt free to purchase clothing and frills from
the store. At the time of Daniel's death he had personal property worth $458.44,
and was owed money to the tune of $6707.79 (p131. Will Book I) On p. 135 I
made note of R.H. Lake & T. Harton who owed $1.17, and M. Debrerry and T.

to the estate $1206.043/4 (Nov 8, 1828) submitted by J. P. Harton.

The age of Daniel is based on his obituary as reported in Edleman Genealogical
Abstracts from Tennessee Newspaper 1821-1828. From Sept 3, 1826, Vol 3 #14 Shelby
Co. Died on Tuesday last Col Daniel Harton, age 39. He was a merchant of this
county. On Wednesday he was interred by the brethren of Jackson Lodge #45. and
from same source Sept 9, 1826 Vol 3, #15. Last week Lavinia Harton, the wife
of Col Daniel Harton died on Friday evening last. She survived her husband by
four days. On Saturday, their youngest child of the deceased parents died.
There are four surviving children. In March 1826 Burwell Harton of Huntsville
AL, advertises for a runaway slave Gilbert who calls himself James Chavers. Burwell
says he lives seventeen miles north of Huntsville on the Meredith Road.
The Jackson Gazette adds that During the day that Col Harton was buried, all
business was suspended in town and every evidence of respect was shown to the
memory of our deceased friend, which seems to be universally felt for one of
the noblest works of God, an honest man.
Goodspeeds History of TN on p 844 mentions that the Masonic Lodge for Springfield,
Robertson County, which received its Charter from the Grand Master of TN 1 Oct
1814 removed to Springfield 22 Nov 1817 and the first meeting was held at residence
of Daniel Ha(o)rton 14 Jan 1848. After 1811 Daniel Ho(a)rton began business
in a building standing about where the post office is now.
