I don't have a George in my line that I know of. However, I have only gotten back to 1799 with the Farris line. So you never know...

Time will tell. ________________________________ From: farris-bounces@rootsweb.com on behalf of Trueman Farris Sent: Fri 8/17/2007 10:53 PM To: farris@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FARRIS] Alexander Faris/Farris born 1799 SC Hello.
