Hi Dot, We are researching William Phares in Madison Co. KY mid to late 1700's. Moved to Smith(Jackson)Co. TN early 1800's Frank Hunting

I am looking for the family of JOHN FARRIS & wife MARY, who lived in Guernsey Co., Oh in 1850, in Noble Co., Oh in 1860 and Morgan Co., Oh in 1870. Children are: David B Farris b 1838 Sarah J Farris b 1841 Mary E Farris b 1843 Phebe Ann Farris b 1845 William A Farris b 1847-49 John W Farris b 1850 Martin Farris b 1852-53 Angeline Farris b 1859

Dot- My Faries line begins in Delaware. The earliest record I have thus far is in the 1720s, with Robert Faries the Irishman. The spelling of "Faries" varies in all records. One of the versions is definitely Fearis and Feariss. Gail

Anyone out there researching FEARIS in the late 1700s and early 1800s in PA and/or KY? Dot

Hello All, So glad I ran across this mailing list. My name is Joan and I am trying to run down my husbands FARRIS line. So far I haven't made much progress,here is what I have so far.My husbands mother Martha Farris b.Jan.09,1910 (I think in Logan Co.WV) d.Jul.23,1957 Switzer,WV. Logan Co. married Samuel Ferguson b.Feb.19,1907 Dunlow,WV. Logan Co. d.Walkertown,NC Forsyth Co. They had 10 children Martha was the daughter of William Farris and 2nd wife Evaline. There were other children from this union and several children from William's 1st wife Elizabeth. I have William's birth as abt.1845 and death 1911. William's father might have been David Farris and Lurana Pratt. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that might could help me with this line. I can't hardly do actual leg work being so far from WV, I would love to be able to run all this down in person. Alabama is just a tad to far for a quick visit to the WV courthouses and capitol. Thanks very much.....Joan

I came across this & saw the FERRIS name about 2/3 of the way down. Hope someone needs it. Terry === Terry Wilson 40 S.
