Wanda, You have some good points about the multiple lists. I have trouble keeping up with one list! Also, so many researchers would only look for the spelling their family used and ignore the fact that most of these families have had their names spelled in various ways back when the spellings were left up to various clerks. My own is an example. I have personally found it spelled Faris, Farris, Pharroz, Pharis, Pherris, Pheris, etc. and there is one lady in the family but down another branch, that swears that I should use FARIS instead of FARRIS which is how I have seen my Paul Farris listed. So there are plenty of researchers who are set on one spelling of the name and may ignore the rest. I am going to join all the lists because I am interested in all the spellings but will remember not to make multiple posts. Thanks for advising us about the new lists. I hadn't checked rootsweb for quite a while so would have missed them. Sandy

James, Thank you for the information on the new list. I try to keep track of all the different variations in spelling. In fact, I will let my Phares friends know about the list too. Sandy

Sherri, Thank you for answering my post. The Edward of 1778 that you listed could definitely be a possibility depending on whether he stayed in Washington Co. or not. I will have to look and see what I have on the family of Edward and Agnes, several descendants have sent me items but every one seems to lose track of Edward and Agnes after the deed in 1793 in Washington Co. The Edward I am interested in was closely connected to the Elisha Farris killed by Indians near Gate City, VA in 1790. From what I have been told, Edward was administrator of Elisha's estate. I have failed to obtain copies of the original records. Edward moved to Lincoln Co. KY and sold land in Virginia to Champion Farris. Edward lived for a while in Lincoln Co. amongst others of my line and then removed to TN as early as 1801 with Nimrod Farris and Nancy Farris Farris his wife. Edward gave consent for Nancy to marry Nimrod. Nimrod was the son of John Esom Farris and Martha (Lucy) Campbell Farris of Halifax/Pittsylvania Cos. VA and Lincoln/Knox/Laurel Cos. KY. If anyone knows anything about any of these EDWARDs I would appreciate hearing from you. Sandy

Sylvia, Thank you. Guess I didn't really explain things too well. I was aware that Russell was formed from Washington Co. VA, but my problem is that the Edward who appears in Washington and then Russell after it's formation, may or may not be the Edward that married Agnes ___. There are 2 lines of thought on the subject. What I am really looking for is hard evidence that the Edward that married Agnes was in Washington Co. at the same time we can physically place the Edward of Russell actually IN Russell, thereby more or less proving there were 2 different Edwards. I tend to believe there was only one Edward but I would like to prove this one way or the other. Sandy

Hi Gang! Carole and I have just finished and exhausting, but very rewarding research trip! I have lots of new data to get on line, but please be patient. It'll take me a while. Have just added the Tatnall Tombstone Collection to my site. You can check it out here: <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/4886/page54.html">Faries Findings</A> http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/4886/page54.html More info will follow as soon as possible. It is already time to update the marriage info also! Hopefully some of this info will be of use to you. Any questions, email me. If you find a connection or something, let us know! Also, let us know if you recognize some of these names as yours. We'd like to divide these people into their family units if possible. Happy Hunting! Gail and Carole

So many of you in the Faires/Farris Family have already been such help to me and here I am once again asking for even more information. This is my situation: My G-G-G-Grandparents were JOHN ADIAR b. mid 1700's married JEAN FAIRES b. 1765 to James Faires and Jean Adair in York Co. SC. in about 1788-89. As far as I can tell they were the only Adair family in York Co. SC. Census records show John Adair as head of household in 1800 and 1810 but in 1820 show only Jean Adair as head of household. My John Adair must have died between 1810 & 1820. John & Jean Faires Adair had two sons, James T. Adair (My GGGrandfather) and William. Naturally I am trying to find the parents of John Adair. As far as I can tell these are true facts. There was (I think) about the same time, another JOHN ADAIR in Pendleton Dist. Duncan's Creek area who was the son of James Adair that was knowledgeable and wrote extensively about several tribes of Indians. The writings by and about this line of Adairs makes it easy to get their information. This JOHN ADAIR first married a lady by the name of Foster (who was an Indian from GA). They had a number of children and she died. Then this JOHN ADAIR married a lady named JANE/JEAN (FARRIS) KILGORE. They had a number of children too, one who was of course named James and close, I think, to the age of my James T. Adair. One researcher I've been in touch with says that this Jane/Jean's maiden name was KILGORE. Other researchers thinks that her maiden name was FARRIS and she was a widow of a Kilgore. As far as I know, no one has proof of either of these theries or do they have information as to how the name FARRIS got attached to Jane/Jean. My interest in getting to the bottom of all this is to be able to prove that this JOHN ADAIR and JANE/JEAN are not connected to my family. If they are, then that is great, but right now it appears that there are either 4 people and if only 2 then how could they be at 2 places about the same time. To complicate matters more, it seems that both John Adairs died about the same time. The one in Pendleton Dist.had his will probated in 1815 and there is proof of that. As I recall, he was buried in Anderson SC. So far I have no way to prove where the other John Adair was buried but I assume (which I know better than to do) that he was burie! d in York Co.SC. Do any of you Faires/Farris have any knowledge of the Pendleton Dist. Farris family? I have posted this question also in the Pendleton Dist. site but so far have not heard anything. If I ever get this straight I will post the conclusions here in case it helps someone else. Thanks for all the help that so many in this family has given me in the past. Nell Adair Lewis

Wanda, I am against the numerous separate name listings because being a novice in this area, the one list has helped me immensely. In fact, when I first started about a year ago, I did not know there were so many spellings nor did I know the origin of the name. Our family thought the name was Farris although someone in my grandparents generation changed it to Ferris (no one seems to know the reason for the change). Then after checking out my great grandfather who was in the civil war and reviewing all of the archival records, I found that his name on many of those documents was Faris. I believe that having the numerous spellings listed separately will decrease the opportunities for solving family histories/mysteries. Your offering to be responsible for all of the names is wonderful and I hope that you will be able to monitor all of the lists for us. Thank you for all of your wonderful help! Phyllis Risner

I too, hope the new Additions to the variation of Farris/Phariss doesn't take away from our great members. But personally I am going to stay where I am. I've had great success on this list & i get confused as it is, I don't need anything else to speed that up. LOL The good side is, there is a query board for my ABRAM Surname that up until this point there hasn't been a surname mailing list (this too might have changed) or anything, but I hope our list stays strong Alli :) Wanda Rabb wrote: > Hi Jim and the rest of the group, > > Recently, Rootsweb started a whole new group of "cluster surnames" in order > to expand the surname mailing lists.

Great analogy, Trueman. I failed in my previous note to mention one of the newly created lists is for the FERRIS spelling. This particular one may have merit to have a separate list. We will see how it goes. If the new lists are not productive, I will encourage the subscribers to join the Farris-L. Wanda >Wanda: >I agree. One listing would serve my needs better.
