Excerpted from the James H. Daugherty part of the "History of Taylor County, Iowa" by Frank E. Crosson, 1910:
The maternal grandfather of our subject was Shelton Harris, who with his wife removed from Tennessee to Indiana and settled in Orange county, where he died. His wife was born in Tennessee and in her maidenhood bore the name of Lucinda Childers. Mr. Harris died about 1840, when in middle age, and his widow afterward came to Iowa about 1856 and died in Bedford in 1880, when more than seventy years of age. They were the parents of seven children who lived to maturity, namely: Samuel, William, Thomas, Ellen, Margaret, Elizabeth and Caroline.
She also says that Shelton died between 1846 (the birth year of his last child, Caroline) and 1856
