Since there are so many people involved with Alexander Farris and York Co., S. C., I would like to add my query to the list. I am searching for the parents of Alexander Farris born in S.C. in 1799 and his brother, James born in S. C. in 1795. Supposedly they were both born in York Co., S.C. but I have been unable to find a family there that fits these 2 sons. They were both living in Franklin Co., Tenn. by 1812 and lived there all their lives. Alexander had 8 children and four of his sons served in the civil war. Two of them died and one was wounded. The other came home safely. The names of Alexander's children are: George W., Evaline, Ann, James S., Reuben S., Wm. D. Thomas D. and Dock Farris. James, the brother of Alexander had 7 children: Dee, George W., Charity, Eliza, Sally Ann, Hannah and Harriett. James was a blacksmith. Alexander & James married sisters from Virginia. Alexander married Oney Simmons and James married Catherine Simmons. I have a lot of information on the family but would like to find the parents of Alexander & James. Some seem to think they may have come from Pendleton Dist., S. C. but we were told it was York Co., S. C. Would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks! -Stephanie Farris Harrington
