John! Does the book give any indication of where the FARRIE family came from?? I try to trace any leads to the origins of our surname and have found the names JAMES FARIE, FERRIS,FARRIS, ALLAN FARIE, Esq. all associated with a castle called FARME located (ruins now) in Rutherglen, a suburb of Glascow, Scotland. I find the name FARRIS on a c1460 map (rough sketch), near Rutherglen, drawn by an English spy.I find JAMES and ALLAN FARIE listed in histories of Rutherglen as owners of FARME before 1790. I find the name FERRIS on a (poorly drawm) map dated 1596 and a tower which is proberly FARME. I find FARRIE, Esq. at (owner) FARME on a 1795 city map of Rutherglen. Histories of Rutherglen describe FARME as a ancient castle donated c 1306-29 to Robert Stewart by King Robert 1.Only the CASTLEKEEP remains which was incorporated into a (modern?) house. Hope this rings some bells!!! Dick Farris in Atlanta

Alli: I would be interested in the Farris/Thompson connection. Please Email me directly if you like. Thanks in advance, Leonard Thompson, Len in Ca.

Its been quite a while since I posted my information. So, maybe with the start of a new year I could also find some more answer's to this line. Here goes: (There will be some blank spots regarding children because I don't have them verified yet, so I'm sure who belongs to who. Therefore I am just posting what I know for sure. John Phariss m. Polly Brady Tenn. Child(ren): (the only one(s) I know for sure) Samuel Phariss m. Martha Malinda Adams both from Tenn. Pleasant Holloman Phariss m. 2nd Agnes (Aggie/Agga) Gore Children of Samuel Phariss & Martha Malinda Adams are: James A. Phariss b. 1857 Jesse Newton Phariss b. Apr. 1 1864 Dallas Co., Mo. m. Rosa M. B. Rodden (She was 19 yrs younger--she is possibly Cherokee) Samuel Franklin Phariss b. 1878 Martha Jane Phariss b.5 Apr. 1880 Prarie Grove, Ark. d. 9 Mar. 1972 Chelsea, Okla. m. James Jefferson Johnson 1865-1943 Mo., Okla. Mary E. Phariss b. Nov. 7, 1885 Prarie Grove, Ark. m. W. T. Scatten Geo W. Phariss b. 12-29-1859 d. 1868 John R. Phariss b. Oct. 21,1861 d. 1868 Mira Phariss b. 12-8-1869 d. 1872 Farley Phariss b. May 11, 1873 d. 1877 William Phariss b. July 26, 1866 d. 1900 This is all that I have that I know for sure. I do have children for Jesse Newton, Martha Jane, & Mary E. Hope someone else has a connection. The PHARISS name also connects to: RODDEN, ADAMS, THOMPSON, JOHNSON surnames directly. Good luck on your research Alli

Does anyone know if there exists a will left by BOWLER FARRIS who died, probably in the 1820"s?? Thanks Kathy Huddcooley@aol.com

Unfortunately, I accidentally hit "reply" to a request for the book, and sent the attachment to the entire list. I am so sorry! Wanda

Hi Reba, I am sorry I didnt write your email address down so I figured I would post to the list!! I looked in the marriage lookups and Didn't find anything on: Benjamin Johnson marrying Unice (nee-?) Johnson. But I did look in the Death INdex and found this info: Unice Johnson b- Jan. 17 1918 SS# issued in Indiana Dod-May 1996 in Vera Beach, Florida Maybe the Unice listed in the will is a grandchild? I figured that because of the year of birth, you can call down there maybe and get a death certificate. Maybe that will give more info? Sorry I couldn't help more. Crystal P.S.
