They lived in Red River Co. just across the Red River from Little River Co, Arkansas after they left Titus Co. His son George Washington Farris, My GGrandfather and his Son A. M. Farris, my Grandfather lived in Little River Co, Town of Arkinda or Choctaw City as it was known at that time, however as I recall Greenville Farris son of Thompson Farris (or Tom Farris) was black, so I would assume it was Tom who helped him as he lived in Little River Co and is on the 1880 census.

Mr Campbell came for the corn and Mr Campbell was shot by Green Farris. Green then left Hamilton Co., for what is reported "Indiana Country". On his way back to Hamilton co., IL he was shot and was cared for by someone and he died in Little River AR Although the date for George W. and Major are about 20 years later, do you know at what point Major's family came to that area.

Estelle, this is my GGGrandfather, Major Farris, thanks for the information. You know its amazing this happened in Titus County. Being born in Kansas, I moved to East Texas when I was 30ish, about 10 miles from Mt. Pleasant where I assumed this took place, and continued to live there for about 30 years without know any relatives, even my Grandparents name...small world... 1. George W. Farris was born 14 FEB 1819 in Tennessee or Alabama , and died 23 AUG 1896 in Little River Co., Arkansas . He was buried in Blackland Cemetery, Little River Co., Arkansas . He was the son of 2. Major Farris and 3. Lucy UNKNOWN. He married Eliza Jane UNKNOWN. She was born ABT 1819 in North Carolina .

Hope this helps someone Major Farris was in Mississippi at one point and later in Louisiana I don't know if it is the same man or not.

Both North & South Carolina were originally one colony: Carolina, but that was around 1670. Both Carolinas and Virginia claimed all the land to their west. But Albemarle Co., North Carolina 1663-1739 was discontinued 60 years before 1799 and never extended into South Carolina. Anson County North Carolina extended into present day South Carolina in the 1760's - until it was broken up into smaller counties. Abbeville District formed in 1785 would have existed in 1799. Perhaps the persons involved in the probate simply confused or misspelled the name of the county. It was one of the popular destinations in Carolina for new settlers from about 1765. One record in Texas referred to one of my great-great-great-uncles who moved out there from Gaston County North Carolina as a native of "Jacksonia". There is a town Gastonia near his birthplace. Albemarle; Abbeville, might seem similar names to some. Dan Justin wrote: The court records pertain to a will recorded in Bedford Co. VA, and are dated 1799. I know that the boundary line between NC-SC fluctuated quite a bit back in those days, but it seems that the current boundaries of Albemarle Co. NC, are a pretty fair distance from the SC line. Did it once extend so far south that some communities at the lower end were caught up in the jumbled border, and were once considered SC? If that were the case, it would help to zero in on his whereabouts at that time.

Hello All FARRIS/etc. Surname searchers who are interested in our Y-DNA Project. There have been several messages like the one below where participants are disappointed that they have not yet had any close Y-DNA matches indicating that we have found a common ancestor. I know that this is frustrating because I am in the same situation. We just had our twentieth participant receive their Y-DNA results and several more are in the works. As we get more participation in our project we will greatly increase our likelihood of finding common ancestors. Many of my participant contacts are female, but the sample must be provided by a male with a surname of FARRIS/etc. Taking the sample is quick & painless since it only involves swabbing the inside of your cheek with a large Q-tip. The sample kit comes with very clear directions. The cost is $189.00 and you pay only after you have submitted your Y-DNA sample. If you are related to (or know of) any males with the surname of FARRIS/etc., please encourage them to join our project. It will help all of us. To join our project and order your test kit, please follow the direction at this WEB Site: <<< http://www.dnaheritage.com/oracle/join.asp?GroupUnique=873562776 >>>. While we are still waiting to get more participants, I encourage all of you that do not yet have Y-DNA matches to get at least two more males from your branch tested. For instance, I got my son and my paternal first cousin to agree to be tested. These three results establish a clear Y-DNA set of results for our branch. Research has shown that 3 to 5% of people who think they belong to a surname group do not. This is because of unacknowledged adoptions, early death of parents where the maternal grandparents adopt & raise the small child (this happened in the family of my aunts husband -- so my cousins from this family have the wrong surname), unwed mothers who raise their child under their maiden name, etc. Having three or more Y-DNA results within your known branch greatly reduces the possibility of this confusion. Lastly, I have now outlined a new WEB Site where all of the FARRIS/etc. Y-DNA results will be posted along with helpful charts, etc. I hope to have this running in the next month or two. This should help to increase the number of participants to the benefit of all of us. Best wishes, John John A. Farris Albuquerque, NM, USA JohnAFarris@comcast.net Coordinator of the subject project. Over 50 spellings of the surname group have been identified. ==================================================================== -----Original Message----- From: farris-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:farris-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lorraine Faris Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2007 7:17 AM To: farris@rootsweb.com Subject: [FARRIS] James Faris from Delaware Hello all, I've been reading about those "out there" DNA results and thought I'd report that our family remains "out there" My father submitted his DNA a few years ago and still no connection. Add to that we can't find any connection to any known research out there and the frustration is ongoing. Dad's great grandfather was James Faris who was born, according to several census records, in Delaware about 1822. I know nothing of his parents or any siblings. He was a cordwainer most of his life. BY 1847 his son, George Kane Faris was born in Philadelphia where the family remained till his death in 1886. His first wife, Jane Kane, was born in Canada according to the one census in which she appears (1850) She had four children with James : George Kane Faris, Walter Faris, Henry Faris and Lillian Jane Faris. She died in 1860 before Lillian was a year old. Later James married Emma Smith, born In NJ, and there were three more children: Adelaide, Harry (implying the earlier Henry died), and Catherine. James served in the 68th Pennsylvania Regiment (AKA Scott Legion), was wounded at the battle of Chancellorsville, held as a prisoner of war briefly and then exchanged and stayed at the hospital at Potomac Creek Station, VA about 6 weeks. He was mustered out at Hart Island NY as 1st Sargent. His death notice invites "S.A. 934 K. of L." believed to mean the Survivors Association of the Kinghts of Labor, and the Jefferson Association. I have not determined the meaning or purpose of the Jefferson Association so far. I can track all but the 1st Henry or Walter up to 1930 or their death if earlier. Any chance these names are familiar? Any connection? I've been at this for over 30 years ......... still hopeful. Lorraine --------------------------------- Got a little couch potato?

Darlene Concerning Johnson Farris I didn't have the 1820 census record for Martin Co. Indiana. Will have to add to my notes. My notes indicate a possible tie to Dewitt County, Illinois, but I have not done any checking on him yet, concerning Thompson. These are my (current) notes for John Farris, son of James Esom Farris (and brother of Isaac Farris) >From Randall Farris and Sandra McIntire research Johnson Farris was born in 1768 in Halifax County, Virginia. He married twice. First, he married Jean (Jenny) Langford on August 17, 1787 in Lincoln County, Virginia (Kentucky). Jenny was born in 1770 in Virginia. Johnson and Jenny had nine children: Johnson Jr.; Isaac; James; William; Eunice (Nicey); Mary (Polly); Hardin; Sarah; and Malvina (or, Melvina).

May have been in Dewitt County IL TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL RECORDS - Whitley, p. 156 "Petition of Johnson Farris, an old soldier of the Revolution, found in the State Archives and Land Office. This petition is dated Washington Co. TN, 1826. The papers are in regard to Johnson Farris and John Donelson in the year 1779." A search for these papers has had negative results, so far. Johnson died after 1840 in Posey Co. Indiana. My comments..... From the above it looks like it was a while between Malvina (Melvina) the last child and mariage to second wife and child by her.

Elvin, brain or record picking again. Looking at these two Farris men Isaac Farris who married Sarah Thompson no other information. He had a son William Lee Farris born 1818 in KY William married Polly Ramey. next is Johnson Farris who married Jean Langford .Johnson died in Posey Co., IN 1840 In 1820 he was in Martin Co., IN. His last child from that marriage was Malvina born 1806. I do not know when Jean Langford died. Johnson remarried in 1834. Is Malvina for sure the last child in the first family or could Thompson be part of that family. Johnson is part of the James Esom line also. Sue Armstrong is going to Grays Lake, IL over Labor Day and go through the boxes and boxes of information collected over the many years by Pauline Bradac. Sue lives in Macomb, Il and is one of the women who paid for the DNA. Anxious to see what she finds. Marion was going to check to see who had the marker 442. There were 2 and they were both 31 of 43.

Actually I think I submitted it because John was on vacation but then he knew how anxious we were and he subitted it for me. I had a password of Thompson 1809 and He subitted and made the password Darlene. So that is how that happened. Now I want to see who the other 42 of 43 match was submitted 1 23 05 with Dent and Kenyan surnames DRVQ9 Darlene ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Regarding the following will posted to the list: THE WILL OF ALEXANDER FARIS Maury County, Tennessee Dated 8 May 1820, Recorded 9 January 1824 <snip> I would assume that probate is handled similarly in all states, with some differences I am sure. What you need to do is to write for the full Probate record and not the will. That would include everything included in the excutorship of the will. In that information, you may be able to tell the relationships based on the way the estate was distributed. I found the children of a deceased daughter, my ancestor, listed in the accounting, altho they were not listed in the will, as they each received exactly 1/4 of the amount that the children received. The will had stipulated that if any of the children died, their share was to go to their heirs. I would rather find an administration of an estate than a will, so I never ask for a will. I ask for the Probate from the county or the state, depending on how they are organized. In SC, they are in Box # package#. If cost is a issue, you might ask that they NOT copy the assessment and listing of the items in the estate, if that was done. It is not done as often when a will is left as in an administration of an intestate estate, but often, the will stipulates that things be sold and divided among the heirs. Good luck. Billie Jones A desc. of another Farris line.

John Darlene just advised me that there has been a mixup in the Thompson Farris samples. Instead of two samples, there should only have been one. She apparent;ly got male relative to submit, but the results indicate two samples. This impacts the following two samples SRTV3 BSSFN So, there will be 10 total submittters on Ian Esom Farris branch. 8 pretty close together and 2 a little bit separated (but not much).
