Notes for Harrison Archibald Ramey
No records show his name as Harrison Archibald or Archibald Harrison, but the marriage record has his name as Archibald, while nearly all other records give his name as Harrison. There can’t have been two Rameys of the same age in the area with wives named Mahala Jones, though. (See, e.g., the birth record of their daughter Emily, or the death record of their son Alfred.)
