Nannie Fitch Harris was the daughter of William Harris II and Mary Pollard "Polly" Shelton, who had a total of 11 children, 5 boys and 6 girls. Nannie married Jessie Chapman Harris in 1866, referred to him in letters as Chap. They had eight children with the first one born in 1867 and the last one born in 1882. They moved to Kerrville in 1883 and stayed with Cousin Frank Harris and his wife, Lizzie, until they were able to rent a farm in Kerrville. Frank's sister, Catherine Harris, also lived in Kerrville, and both of them doted over Chap and Nannie's children.

From a transcript written by Chap and Nannie's son, William Joseph (b. 1878), in 1955: "That year, 1886, Mother's health began to break, at forty-six years of age. Father tried all the country doctors in Kerr County because that was all the kind of doctors there were in the county. None of them seemed to know just what was the matter with her. The next year (1887) we moved about one-half mile south from the Coleman farm. All the time, Mother gradually grew worse. And on the 28th day of May, 1887, God called her home. We laid her to rest under a large liveoak tree by the side of Cousin Catherine Harris (Cousin Frank Harris' Sister) who was the only person buried there on the Frank Harris farm. After that, all of the Frank Harris family who were living there at the time of their passing, were, of course, buried there."
