Can anyone claim the James Faris listed in these two census? Or does anyone have any information on them or their families? Thanks Debi Fort Myers, FL df620@gate.net - - - - - - - - - Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

Here are the Faris, Faries, etc. entries for SC in 1800 that I recorded years ago: Key: Head of Household County Reel # males under 10, males 10-16, males 16-26, males 26-45, males 45 and older; females under 10, females 10-16, females 16-26, females 26-45, females 45 and older; others; slaves James FAIRIS Union Dist SC 243 0020-10100-00 (I must have made a transcription error on the first part of this one since there are only 4 number....sorry) Alexander FARIES York 968 02301-01001-00 Alexander FARIES York 946 31101-02010-04 Alexander FARIES York 948 41001-12111-06 Arthur FARIES York 972 00001-00000-00 Isaac FARIES York 952 30001-24011-02 James FARIES York 972 00002- - James FARIES York 952 10111-10101-05 James FARIES, Jr York 972 10010-20200-00 John FARIES York 968 10010-30010-00 Margaret FARIES York 942 00100-00201-00 Robert FARIES Esq York 972 12031-22101-00 William FARIES York 956 04001-10201-00 William FARIES York 948 21010-10020-00 Absalom FARIS Pendleton 13 00100-00100-00 Absalom FARIS Pendleton 13 10001-20101-00 Darcus FARIS Union 243 00000-01301-03 James FARIS Pendleton 18 31301-10010-00 John FARIS Chester 79 30011-20011-00 Levy FARIS Greenville 275 32010-21010-00 Peggy FARIS Pendleton 1 10100-20101-00 William FARIS Pendleton 12 10100-00200-00 William FARIS Pendleton 1 11101-22010-00

I recently have had a breakthrough. Finally connected my James Daniel FAIRES (b. 1846 York Co. SC d. 1914 Nacogdoches, TX) to Samuel A. FAIRES which carried my line on back to an Alexander that married Jennet ? Here is a little more info. If anything rings a bell contact me and we can discuss further. In the meantime, I'll try to do some more sorting. Jim FAIRES, Louisiana Alexander FAIRES (b. ca. 1740) and Jennet ? ----- SC Jesse FAIRES and Margaret A.

Hi Gang, I found the site I mentioned earlier, about the research in Delaware and surrounding states. It was called the "Wedge" and you can find the site at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/8074/thewedge.html It explains a lot for us researching the Farris/ etc. gang and why they were all over and around the states. Check it out, it might be of help to you. Carole :]

I think it is possible that your Alexander (the son) may be 'my' Alexander. Do you know any dates on him or his father? Hi Dee, No, I know few dates except the 1820 will of Alexander, Sr. which was probated in 1823. I've checked the 1850 Maury County census for some of the people listed in the will. I'll send you the abstract of the will if you're interested, (I don't have the entire will) but I'll have to find it. In the meantime here are some FARIS marriages you may not have. Most of them don't mean a thing to me, but may to you.

I agree with Mary. We are all working together to find our missing links. Thanks to everyone.

I have posted this info on my James Faris before. I am going to go in a different direction this time, and ask any of you Faris researchers that have the book "The Faris Family From Washington Co., IN" to looks for my Faris names. Then if there is anything that might be of interest to me, please e-mail me. The reason I am so interested in the Faris's of this particular area is that My Jane Faris married a John Markwell and some of the Markwell family settled in this area. I was hoping to find that maybe the two families traveled together to the area. I know this will involve precious time on your part, but I would really appreciate the look-up! Thank-you! Dixie A.
