Amy Johnson Crow of No Story To Small has started a challenge of 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.
From her blog “The challenge: have one blog post each week devoted to a specific ancestor. It could be a story, a biography, a photograph, an outline of a research problem — anything that focuses on one ancestor. Not only should this get me blogging more, but also to take a deeper look at some of the people in my family tree.”

The focus of my blog posting today is Henry Harrison Deese, Sr. and his family.  
 
Henry Harrison Deese Sr. was born on 4 Aug 1845 in Anson County, North Carolina.1 2 He was the son of Samuel Deese and Sarah “Sallie” Hill. He grew up in a fairly large family consisting of 4 brother and 4 sisters. One of his younger brothers, John Calvin Deese, is my great grandfather. They were close growing up and eventually married sisters that were the daughters of James W. Huneycutt and Sarah Elizabeth “Sallie” Page.4 5
 

Henry Harrison was 7 years older that my great grandfather and was the first to marry. Harrison and Nellie Isabella Huneycutt were married on 1 February 1875 in Anson County, North Carolina.6
Nellie Isabella Huneycutt, as stated above, was a daughter of James W. Huneycutt and Sarah Elizabeth Page. She was born on 27 Oct 1857 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.7 8 9 10 11 12 13
