The marker indicates incorrectly that he served in the Alabama Militia. His service was performed in the Virginia Militia during the Revolution. Henry Harless, Sr. and wife Charity were living in VA when they prepare to move to TN. In 1801 they were in Knox Co. (now Anderson Co.), TN. Records of Anderson Co., TN in 1806 indicate that he owned land in that county. Most of his family stayed together and prior to 1815 migrated to Mississippi Territory (now Alabama) into the area north of Huntsville, Madison Co., AL. The family migrated to Shelby Co., AL shortly thereafter. Submitted by Fred Olive (folive@uab.edu)
