Biography

Tabitha Ann Robertson entered the world on December 1, 1824, in the picturesque landscape of Walton County, Georgia. Her roots ran deep in the rich soil of the South, shaping her character and guiding her path through life.

On January 16, 1845, Tabitha exchanged vows with Harvey Harris, sealing their bond in marriage within the familiar confines of Walton County, Georgia. Together, they embarked on a journey filled with love, challenges, and shared dreams.

During the census of 1860, Tabitha found herself residing in District 406 of Gwinnett County, Georgia, nestled close to the quaint surroundings of the Pinckneyville post office. It was here that she nurtured her family and contributed to the fabric of her community.

As the years unfolded, Tabitha's life took her to Coxes in Cobb County, Georgia, where she made her home near the Smyrna post office. Amidst the rustic beauty of this locale, she remained steadfast in her devotion to her family and the land they called their own.

By the turn of the decade in 1880, Tabitha had ventured further afield, settling in Peaks Hill, Calhoun County, Alabama. Here, amidst the rolling hills and open skies, she continued to embrace life's challenges with resilience and grace.

However, Tabitha's earthly journey reached its conclusion on October 29, 1881, in Calhoun County, Alabama. Her passing marked the end of an era, yet her spirit lived on in the hearts of those who cherished her memory. She found her final resting place in the serene confines of Ten Island Cemetery in Morrisville, Calhoun County, Alabama, where her legacy continues to endure.
