Looking for any information on Gilbert Harbor and family.

Born in Pontotoc County Mississippi around 1892, has a WWII Draft card  but
deserted the army when was told he would have to go over seas. He was in the
National Guard in Calhoun County Mississippi in 1919. He was living with Moses
Hester and family in Calhoun County in 1920.

He was in Phillips County Arkansas in 1930 on the census he is listed with wife
Florence and children Elvira, Virgil, and Thelma. He was still living there in
1942 according to the draft card and still married to Florence. Gilbert died in
May 1959. I have contacted the local funeral home in Arkansas to see if they
have a listing for him that may shed light on what happend to them later. I can
not find Virgil on the social security death index so am not sure if he is still
alive or not.. he was born in 1928 so he would only be 81 but have been unable
to find a phone listing not that I would be for sure where he might even be
living at this time. His sister Cordelia married James Stone who was my great
grandfather. She was around 20 years older than her brother. Cordelia died
around 1931 - 32 but have been unable to find an obituary for her either.

Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated.

Good Morning Harbour Family,

United we stand.  Divided we fall.  In God We Still Trust.
His Truth is Marching On.  One of my Harbour forefathers fought in the
Revolutionary War in 1776 while serving in the Virginia Militia for 6 months. 
The keyword is "Fought."  Our Harbour families fought for justice and liberty
against tyranny. Also, our "Harbour" name means "the sheltering of people." 
What wonderful noble causes we inherited. We must continue fighting for
injustice and liberty. We must continue to shelter people in peace and in
weathering the storms of life.  As for me, the pen is mightier than the sword. 
Take time to read the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.  It was
"penned" by many of our Nation's forefathers.  Take time to read the Bible.  It
is our guiding light.  It's truth and belief in God distinguishes us.  His
truth, our truth marches on.  Oh, and on a lighter note, when and where is the
next Harbour Reunion in Patrick County?  God Bless You and God Bless America! 
Sincerely yours,  Kristi

I'm sorry about my earlier post.  I didn't tell where the graves
were.  These graves are in the western part of Wayne County,
Tennessee is what is called the Harbour Cemetery.  I haven't seen the
cemetery, but I believe that there are very few graves.

This is a different Elijah Harbour than yours.

Hi my name is Vernon Harbour is this Elijah Harbour born 01/30/1730

Is this the same person and can you tell Me more He could be my
Greatgrand father about 5 times removed

Some of my kin folks have known where Elijah Harbour (Thomas-Talmon-
Elijah) is buried for some time.  Because he fought Indians during the
Revolution, the government is providing a grave marker.  A cousin of
mine also purchased one for his wife.  In the not too distant future,
we're going to have a clean up day and mark those two graves proper.

Your ggrandfather James David was the son of John Parker b 28 May 1834, d 11 Apr
1905
was married to (1) Nancy Jones, (2) Betty Gipson  James Davis is from 1st
marriage.   John

Are the Harbours still having the reunion in Patrick, VA?

The title is "The Harbours in America" by Louis J Williams.  Published by
Harbour-Harbor-Harber Family Association in Lubbock, Tx in 1982.  To my
knowledge there have been no updates.

There is an address and phone # in the front of the book.

Mrs Bettye Atkins Cartwright
Harbour-Harbor-Harber Family Association
70904 Joliet Avenue
Lubbock, Texas 79423

Phone:  (806) 795-5136

I was fortunate enough to get mine from a book dealer in California, who had
seen my request on the web.

It is very informative, although not always correct.
