You are talking about the Mrs. Jane Harris home site marker on west side of Frio Street between Erath and Elm (600 blk of Fri, no specific address since no structure. Block 6 of the Harrisburg town plat). Very few people know about the marker and fewer can consistently find it. I give Battle of San Jacinto historical tours from Harrisburg to Morgan's Point and the battleground and it is the second stop on my tour. The marker was placed by the San Jacinto Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in 1929. The THC does not list it since it was placed before the THC (Texas Historical Commission) came into existence and they did not place it. We are working on getting it on their Historical Atlas and the Harris County Historical Commission will soon have their own historical marker web site with all (regardless of sponsor) markers. Mrs. Harris died in 1869 and the house burned down in 1888. I'm attaching a picture of the marker. The current lessee of the property had built a fence around it and a bridge to Frio so that people can walk up to the marker. The Texas Flag flies 24/7 at the site.
