Hi Cousins, Never under-estimate "the power of a cousin" when you need to find something! I was thrilled when I opened my e-mail from my dear cousin Kathleen Skeen last night. She made a trip to San Antonio and found our Mary Jane Harris(Richardson) mentioned in the will of her brother, James Harris. A cut and paste copy follows: "Mary Jane (Harris) Richardson. I quote from Georgia D.A.R. Historical Collections pg.40/41 of Vol II. Records of Richmond County, Georgia Formerly Saint Paul's Parish. HARRIS, JAMES--Page 19-- Wife Tabitha to have life estate in platation and slaves, at her decease to be divided between my three sons: Michaael, Walter and Jeremiah. Beloved sister Mary Richardson to have support out of estate. To son-in-law Robert Wyche, a bond given by George Morse for $800.00. To dau. Ruthy Beal $2.00, to dau. Margaret Harris, slaves, to dau. Rachel Harris slaves, to dau. Verlinda Harris, slaves. Wife and three sons Excrs. Signed Apr. 14, l803. Probated Nov. 7, l803. Wit: Dennis Smelt, Abraham Jones, Hezekiah Beal. Now this proves the connection of Mary Jane Harris having a brother named James, and they lived in Georgia... But the big question still is who are the parent's and where did they come from?" Maybe with the extra names of children in the will we can backtrack a little further into Mary Jane and Jame's history. Amy
