Marilyn, I have a Marion Faris born between 1823 and 1860. I have not researched this part of the line yet it is a side line of the one I am currently researching. But since they used names over and over again back then could be a connection for you. My Marion is 1 of 11 children born to Samuel Anderson Farris and Lydia Buchanan. They moved around a lot Starts in VA and ends in TN but have some lines that went to Oregon and CA. Will look into it for you and see if I can find any more info for you.
