Notes: (from book entitled Old Gammon Families and Their Descendants by Rev. Wm. J. Gammon, 1965, p. 158-159)

He made his will in Knox County, near Knoxville, some eight miles northeast of it.

Likely all relatives will be interested in will of Harris, Sr. as it is likely only official record of his children, and to preserve space, there will be given with each child, some facts not in the will, but reliably secured from other sources.  The will is recorded in Knoxville, Tenn.  He made his will January 14, 1843 and parts of it, especially, are very impressive.

He says he is in a low state of health, but of sound memory, revokes all former wills by him, says “First of all, in the name of God, Amen:  I bequeath my soul to God from whence it came, wishing my body to be committed to the earth in a Christian manner, and after paying all just debts and legal demands, the balance and residue of my property, I desire to be divided in the following manner”:

First, I give and bequeath unto my grand son, Harris Cox, son of James Cox, my mare, bridle and saddle.  I want all notes and debts coming to me collected by my lawful executors, and to be divided among all my children in the following manner:  The children are named, in order of age, oldest first, it appears, wills to each child same, unless is given:  John Gammon, $2, and to each one.  John was made Executor of the will.  Anne, now Anne Bishop (married 1797), Lewis Leah now Robinson, Harris and one double coverlet.  Dozier B. Lucy now Lucy Bibb (Some gave this Levicy in a copy of the will, error likely: now Ailcy Cox, Sarah, now Sarah Karns (spelled Also Kearns in cemetery), and William B.  To Elizabrth Cox, I give and bequeath the residue of my money and property of every description, “January 1st, 1843.”

Records in Richmond, Virginia says that land before 1767 was cut off from Halifax County and called Pittsylvania and made a county.  Harris Gammon, Sr. served in the Virginia Militia in Col. William Dix’s Regiment 1776-1781.  He was with Gen. Washington’s forces at Yorktown, Virginia when Gen. Cornwallis surrendered the British Forces of about 7300 British and Hessian Troops.  The Americans had 9,000 American troops under Washington and 7,000 French troops under Rochambeau and a large French fleet Blockading the Chesapeake Bay and York River.  Harris Gammon was earlier in the Battle of Kin’s Mountain in North Carolina, near the border with South Carolina, 7 Oct., 1780.  Americans had 900 men under John Sevier, Shelby, Campbell and Williams.  The British under Gen. Ferguson (killed while leading attack) had 1100 troops.  The British were defeated in one hour with 250 killed and 664 captured.  The Americans had 28 killed and a large number wounded.  The British lost their power in the South.”  The foregoing was a statement made by Albert T. Smith 2/7/1983.

Note:  A Mrs. Bertha Davidson took Harris to Goochland County, Virginia when he was a mere baby as protection from savage Indians, but soon returned to his home in Pittsylvania County.

“Harris Gammon applied for revolutionary pension while living in Knox County, Tennessee, Aug. 24, 1830.  He was born in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, Sept. 25, 1757.  He moved with his parents when he was an infant to Goochland County, Virginia and later moved back to Pittsylvania County where he lived until 1796 when he moved to Know County, Tennessee.  Alexander Norton testified that he served in the Revolution with Harris Gammon.  In 1840 Harris Gammon was living in Knox County with Lewis Gammon.  He married _____________________ (Levicy Elizabeth [name added for clarity]) Brawner.  Among their children were Dozier Brawner Gammon, ho married Letita Turbeville; and Lewis.”  Taken from Tennessee Heroes of the Revolution by Zella Armstrong, 1975.

Dozier Brawner Gammon had two Tennessee Land Grants in Know County, Tennesse.  The first in 1826 for 17 acres, E. District, Book 13, p. 4, grant number 13066.  The second in 1827 for 36 acres, E. District, Book 12, p 311, grant number 11364.

Dozier and wife Lavinia Tubeville moved about 1828 from Know County, Tennessee to Putnam County, Indiana, to which it is said some Tubevilles had already moved.  About 1847 Dozier visited Decatur County, Iowa.  Decatur County had nice prairie land, no trees to remove, good land at $1.25 an acre (later worth $2.oo per acre).  Also on account of better schools, and the old trouble, Slavery, etc. they decided to sell in Indiana and move to Iowa, where they reared their families.

James W. Gammon
DIED – At his residence in Eden township, Decatur County, Iowa, February 11, 1886, James W. Gammon, after protracted illness of some four weeks with disease of kidney and liver which seemed to baffle the skill of his physicians.  He was born in Knox County, State of Tennessee, June 16, 1825, and was in the sixty-first year of his age.  He moved to Indiana with his father in the year 1828 and remained there till 1848, at which time he came to Iowa and settled in Wapello county, but shortly after, located in Monroe county, and in the year 1852 was married to Armelda E. Myers, and moved to Decatur county in the spring of 1854 and settled on the farm where he died.  The fruits of his marriage were eight sons and three daughters all of whom survive him to mourn his death.  All of his sons and one daughter and his wife was at his beside when he breathed his last, which was as quiet as the sleep of an infant.  He was a man of broad and liberal views and of positive convictions, was always willing to defend what he believed to be the truth, but charitable to all who might differ with him.  Reason being his guide his desire was to so live that to rest with mother earth that those who should survive him might be better qualified to live in harmony with nature’s laws.  His wife has lost an eve kind and faithful husband, his children an affectionate and loving father, and the community a kind and obliging neighbor.  His remains were followed to their resting place, in Eden Prairie cemetery, by a large concourse of friends and neighbors, and was buried in compliance with his wishes, without any funeral ceremonies.
