I have not been able to find the birth of my William D. Harris in Old Texas, Monroe County which would have been between 1845 and 1850 per the 1880 census. He married a lady Elvira Collins around 1876 and they had 6 kids by late 1880s. This is hoping someone else has this family in their tree. thank you sue knudsen in seattle

This is my Harris bunch. I am descended from William Harris. No one in my family has ever heard the name William D. [William Dale]. This is William Henry Harris who married Jane Barlow on 22 Apr, 1879 in Monroe Co. Nelson Harris m. Dycie "Caledonia" Jaye on 13 Apr, 1880 in Monroe Co. Their parents were Robert Harris and Sarah Ann Hayles. John Harris m. Edith Ann Loftin 31 Jan 1856 in Monroe Co., AL. She later married Washington Williams. Her name is sometimes Elly, Edianne, Edith Ann Loftin/Laughton. If anyone has information on her marriage to Washington Williams, please contact me... I am trying to research that line. It is assumed that Vicey is the mother of Elizabeth, John and Robert Harris. It is also assumed that her husband was John Harris of England. Vicey Harris was married to Wm. Sagar of Canada 23 Jul 1838 in Monroe Co., AL. ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda Lambert To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 12:09 AM Subject: Re: [ALMONROE-L] Harris genealogy Susie,I am not related to the Harris family;but I did find this information that I hope will help you. 1860 Census of Monroe Co.
