Can't remember if I posted this info. or not: I am searching for info. on Howell Farriss/Farris who is believed to by the father of my g-grandmother Laura Elizabeth Farriss Inglett, b. 1872, Sparta, Hancock Co., GA. I searched every Farris/Ferris of various spellings in GA. and this is the only family with a son Howell located in GA in 1850. Checked every James in the 1860 GA census index, looked them up, but did not find this same family in 1860 GA. Need to look up Rebecca Farris. CENSUS: 1850 Clark Co, GA, Athens Dist., p. 21, hh#147 James Farris 44 M Factory Op. b. VA could r/w Rebecca Farris 30 F GA could r/w Nancy A. Farris 18 F GA Beverly Farris 15 M GA James Farris 13 M GA *Howell Farris 9 M GA Miles H. Farris 8 M GA Benj. B. Farris 6 M GA Doctor W. W. Farris 4 M GA I found Howell with his wife and earlier children in 1870, but have not found him later, with my g-grandmother in the hh. According to records from Howell's wife, Elizabeth Farris, she and Howell divorced. Don't know when. CENSUS: 1870 [Powelton?] Dist., Hancock Co., Ga. p. 7 [enumerated 7 June 1870] Farriss, Howell 30 M W Farm Laborer GA. E. 24 F W Keepng House GA Johnnie 7 M W GA Sallie 4 F W GA Benj. 3 M W GA Willie 1 M W GA. I find members of the above James Farris family in Augusta Ga. in 1889 Augusta City Directory has the following, p. 164 Farris: Miss Aurena, wks Dartmouth Mills, bds 1203 Fenwick [matches a daughter of Beverly] Benjamin, wks L. F.
