Does anyone have FARRISes in Stoddard Co. MO in 1860? Charmaine Riley Holley arkivemom@aol.com
New information has come to light regarding my grandfather, Marion Matthew Farris, born in 1872 in Iowa....(possibly). The information is that his mother's maiden name may very well have been Workman. Does this connection appear in anyone's research? TIA Marilyn Hughes Johnson Pasadena, California
Rick, You might want to send your query to Phyllis Kitson, 711 Kensington Ave., Flint, MI 48503. She used to edit a newsletter on FERRIS from the New England lines and might have information you seek. Good Luck. Sandy
Mirya, How do you connect to the Farris of Laurel Co. KY? Also, there was Chapman-Farris interaction in Lincoln Co. KY but no marriages that I remember. Sandy
Aloha All, I have been a, for the most part, silent observer for the past month or so. My research on the FERRIS family of NY, IN and MI has spanned over 20 years. Spelling variations encountered in official records have included FARIS, FARRIS and FERRISS. More recently, I have also been researching associated ALLEN, BLAISDEL/BLASDELL, CARKNER/CARKENORD, DAVIS, HALL, MILBURN, REMINGTON, REYNOLDS, RYAN/RYON, SEAMAN/SEAMANS, SNYDER, SWEET, WEEKS, WIDRIG and WYCOFF lines. Right now my primary brick wall is my g4 grandparents, Caleb and "Judah" FERRIS. I am seeking their parents/ancestors/siblings. Caleb FERRIS b ca 1764 m "Judah" ? . According to their great granddaughter, Phoebe Jane FERRIS, "Judah" was French. Her name always appears in quotes, leading to speculation it may be an assumed name or Anglicization of her French name. Family tradition is that "Judah" ran away from her aristocratic family and married Caleb, against the wishes of her parents. For many years Caleb was a steward and "Judah" was a nurse for the STEWART family of NY City. The only known child of Caleb and "Judah" FERRIS was born in Westchester Co., NY. Caleb and Judah were with their son in 1820 when he settled in Galen, Seneca Co., NY (now Savannah Twp., Wayne Co.) Various cousins have proposed that "our" Caleb FERRIS may have been the son of Caleb FERRIS, b ca 1832 at New Rochelle, Westchester Co., NY, d 4 Mar 1795 at New Rochelle, Westchester Co., NY, m ca 1752 Helena! PELL, b ca 1734 at Westchester Co., NY, d 1825 at Phillipstown, NY. Caleb FERRIS (ca 1732-1795) was a Revolutionary War veteran of the 3rd Regiment of Westchester Co. Militia and is a direct descendant of Jeffrey FERRIS who arrived at Boston, MA ca 1634. I would like to prove or disprove this connection. Leonard FERRIS, Sr., b ca 1786 in Westchester Co., NY, d April 27, 1877 in Savannah, Wayne Co., NY. Leonard FERRIS, Sr. spoke of being the "only begotten son" of Caleb and "Judah," but he may have had sisters. Leonard m Sarah Elizabeth "Betsy" RYAN. Per granddaughter Phoebe Jane FERRIS, Elizabeth was an "Irish Lady of High Rank." Leonard and Elizabeth had nine children. Joseph, the oldest, was born in Dutchess Co., NY 18 Oct 1807. The three youngest, Richard R., John Allen and Louisa were born in Wayne Co., 1822-1828. At least two of the middle siblings, Nelson J. and Margaret Sarah, were born at Mentz, Cayuga Co., in 1817 and 1820 respectively. Leonard was a veteran of the War of 1812, having served in Capt. Samuel Ingersoll's Co., 7th Regiment, NY State Artillery. He was a successful farmer in Wayne Co, NY. After the death of his wife, Leonard lived with a daughter and son-in-law, Margaret Sarah (FERRIS) and Rial P. BETTS, Sr. Leonard was working as a butcher in 1875 at age ! 89. Four of Leonard and Elizabeth FERRISÂ’ children are buried in Wayne Co., NY: Joseph FERRIS, Sr. (1807-1884) m Lucretia ALLEN; William FERRIS (1809-1862) m Anna ? ; Leonard FERRIS, Jr. (1814-1859) m Catherine ? ; and Margaret Sarah FERRIS (1820-1902) m Rial P. BETTS, Sr. (his second wife). Three are buried in Cheshire Twp, Allegan Co., MI: Richard R. FERRIS (1822-1904) m Hannah MILBURN; John Allen FERRIS (1824-1908), a Civil War veteran of Company K, 87th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, m Amy Jane REYNOLDS; and Louisa FERRIS (1828-1894) m Elijah HAWES. One each are buried elsewhere in MI and IN: Ellen Jane FERRIS (1812-1893) m John CARKNER/CARKENORD and they are buried in Mendon, St. Joseph Co., MI; Nelson J. FERRIS (1817-1899) m Sally WEEKS and they are buried in Mishawaka, St. Joseph Co., IN. I sincerely hope we can help each other break down "brick walls" and solve family mysteries.

Hi, I have two Harry Farris's from Wisconsin. The first is Harry Clyde Farris born Dec. 7, 1890. Harry Clyde Farris had two brothers and two sisters and his parents where David A. Farris & Sarah Catherine Lance. He Married Ilva Braudt on July 26, 1911. The second is his son Harry Kendrick Farris born June 29, 1912 in Mt. Ida, Wisconsin.

Hello! Let me take a look through all that I have collected and see what I can find...I am sure there are others who may have info for you as well. Patty
I've been noticing Patty in Texas has been working a lot on genealogy lately and was wondering if she or anyone else has located a Harry Faris or Farris in their work. I believe he may have had a son Harry as well, but need to double check on that. I believe I am probably talking in the early 1900s as far as when he may have moved to Texas...at least the oldest Harry would not have been born in Texas...probably Wisconsin, I believe. Thanks for any help.
No, have no info. at all on David except he MIGHT be father of William Farris who married Elizabeth Conley and then Evaline Bryant in Logan Co. WV. Do you have anything on these? Joan
In Laurel County, Kentucky and in Campbell County, Tennessee I am looking for Riley FARRIS *m* Aillen CHAPMAN (alive and presently lives in La Follett, Campbell County, Tennessee. Aillen's parents were Amanda CARROLL and Sherman CHAPMAN Died in La Follett, Campbell County, Tn. Also I am searching for Vickie Goins or Butry who married Thomas Peniff parents of both unknow. It is said that Vickie's father didnt like her so she changed her name. In the SS Death Index I looked up the name PENIFF and there was only one, Jeffrey, and this is a step brother of the person I am doing the research for. Jeffrey's Parent were Thomas PENIFF and Phyllis (Crisp) who later married Howard Mayer and had two children by him. This is all I know of the family. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

this William is in PHIL in 1830 Census M19 157-158 Phil 301 listed as M 60-70, F 2 15-20yrs, F 2 50-60 total of 5 in household. No son's the age I am searching for but who is he? I won't give up in Texas-Patty Faries
the William Farris is listed in the PA Census 1850 age 10 living with Robert Philips and Olevia (?) of WAS Carroll Twnshp. Does he belong to anyone? His age and location might fit the Faris I am searching for but how did he get with this couple and why is he there and not in Philly? Grasping at straws in Texas-Patty Faries
I am looking for any of these names that are linked to any of the rest of these names. CHAPMAN, CARROLL, FARRIS, PENIFF] Laurel Co. KY, and Campbell Co, TN Mirya Glover _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
I understand how you feel...I am at a dead end on my William A Faries in Philly. It is almost as if they did not exist before 1880. He claims to have been born in PA in 1839 but I cannot locate him anywhere. Too many Williams and James and Johns!! Good luck to you- frustrated in Texas- Patty Faries
