John Minge, son of David and Christina Minge born 1766 married 5 June, 1795 Henrico Co. VA., to Sarah Harrison, born Berkley, Charles City Co. and daughter of Benjamin Harrison and wife Elizabeth Bassett. It is from this line that three sons of John and Sarah came to Marengo Co. AL.
John and Sarah had ten children and lived at Walnut across the James from "Maycox". After the death of Ann Coupland Harrison, wife of Col. William Allen Harrison, their two sons, James and C.D. went to live with John and Sarah Harrison Minge at Walnut Grove. These two brothers were raised by John and Sarah and thus the family tie between the Minge/Harrison families were bonded ever closer together. James Harrison came to AL., with three of the Minge brothers.
After the death of John and Sarah, their son Collier sold Walnut Grove in 1842 to President John Tyler and his second wife, Julia Gardiner from New York, who gave the house a new name, "Sherwood Forest".
From the book "Sundial" written by Mrs. Sylvia Blake Harrison, she states that a diary written by Mary Howell Harrison reveals James Harrison meeting for the first time, a family of Allen cousins, whose grandfather was born at Clearmont, Virginia. The story reads that James Allen was a lawyer from Nashville and the son of William Allen. Now Mrs. Harrison said cousin(s) who were the other Allens?
