She was born in 1767 and therefore was 103 years old. She was a native of Warren County, but had been a citizen of Twiggs for fifty or sixty years, or had gone there when the forest was primeval - the soil virgin. She saw the infant American Republic baptized in the blood of the first revolution, and nearly one hundred years later saw it again drenched in human gore. Mrs. Harris had looked upon her descendants of the fifth generation. Additional Comments: Transcriber's note: I'm not related to or researching the Alexander family.
