• Harrison Family Plantation Ledger, 1846-1883
  The collection consists of a 48-page ledger book that documents the Harrison family plantation both as a part of the estate of James Harrison of Craven County, N.C., and Jones County, N.C., and after the estate was settled. Plantation owner James Harrison of Craven and Jones counties, N.C., died circa 1846. He was apparently survived by his ward Cassandra Harrison, his wife, and several other family members.
