Regarding inquiries on William Faries/Farris I also have the same information that William married Agnus Cowan. This was given to me by an Aunt of my husbands, so don't know where she got it. A William J. (could be T.) Faris appears in the 1870 South Carolina Census . He is listed as 63 years of age and birth place of Ireland There is also a William Faris age 30 with a birth place of S.C. His wife is Amanda 27 with a child named Eliza J. who is 1. There is also listed a Robert M. Faris age 67 (brother of William?) born S.C., Sara J. 26 keeping house and two children Isaac C. 6 and William S. 5. Robert Miller Farris is my husband's line. He had a son named Thomas Jefferson Farris/Faris who had a son named Robert Thad Farris who was born 10 April 1861. He is my husband's great grandfather. He lived in Arkansas in the 1880s married Alice elvira Whitfield and had eleven children. They then went to Oklahoma around Roff Oklahoma where he passed away in 1940.
