• Notes

  I had the 30th of Nov. as birth date Harriett Isabelle Apperson, second daughter of Peter and Elizabeth Petty Apperson, was born Nov. 27, 1827, near Paris, Henry County,Tenn, In 183l, she went with the rest of the family to live near Springfield, Greene County, Mo., where she grew up. It is said she was fun loving and a very beautiful young lady. She and her sister,Louisa Jane, had fun going to parties and dances about the neighborhood with their cousin, James Milton Apperson, called Milton ,who lived nearby. After the three married they lived within visiting distance until Milton moved to California, Mo. Mr. Spaulding, Waxahachie, Texas, who gave us data on the Nowlin family said that Aunt Harriet was a fine looking, handsome woman during her mature years and that her daughter Stell resembled her. The writer remembers Cousin Stell and knows she was a lovely person. On September 23, 1845, prior to her eighteenth birthday, Harriett Apperson married Peyton Nowlin, a young man who had gone to Greene County from Arkansas, where he was born August 18, 1826. It is believed he was a son of U.S. Senator Peyton Nowlin of Arkansas and Lucy Townsend, born in Scotland. Following their marriage, Harriett Apperson and Peyton Nowlin settled on a farm near Springfield, where the first five of their eight children were born.
