I have not been able to connect to any family in Georgia that is descended from this John Harris whom originally was from PA. >>>>>>>> JOHN HARRIS, son of Joseph Harris and Martha RYAN was born 1 Dec 1802 in Washington County, PA. He was educated in the common schools of those days, but having a strong desire for education, he entered as a student and graduated at Washington College in Washington County, Pa., in 1827. After graduation he went south and taught school in South Carolina for one or two years. From there he went to Covington, Georgia where he became acquainted with, and married SUSAN ANN HENDERSON of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, 8 Dec 1831. They had eleven children---six sons and five daughters. In Covington, Georgia, Mr. Harris went into merchandising for a while then gave it up and bought a farm and a number of Negroes, and commenced raising and buying cotton, which occupation he followed the rest of his life. He was a man who took an active part in politics and in Masonry. He took a great deal of interest in institutions of learning. He shared the first honors with Henry R. Wise who was afterwards Governor of the State of Virginia. He was a man of considerable consequence in Georgia. He held many offices of trust and honor. He was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia for six years. He was in the Legislature a number of times, and at one time a President of a bank. His life was mainly devoted to farming and buying cotton, in which he amassed quite a fortune. He owned 140 slaves at one time, but almost everything he had was swept away by the consequences of the war. He made himself very unpopular in the section in which he lived, during the war, by his firm Union principles. He was always a Republican, and after the war was over, he was elected Senator to the Legislature from his district, in spite of the great opposition to him. He was a very well informed man, and a man of great energy and resolution, and a very fine conversationalist. He was a large, robust man, weighing from 225 to 240 pounds. He was afflicted with apoplexy, and the last attack he had caused his death. He died 16 June 1878. 1. John P. Harris b. 17 Feb 1836 m. 1st Susie E. SLACK 6 Jne 1860 d. 7 Mar 1863 m. 2nd Lucy C.

She died 26 October 1869 after about four years of married life. Lucy had one child that died in infancy. He married for his third wife, Elizabeth A. GROVES 14 June 1871. Mr. Harris was a farmer by occupation. He was also a Judge of the Infirm Court at Covington, Georgia and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They lived near Covington in 1882. ISAAC P.

Harris b. 12 Nov 1880 d. infancy WILLIAM HARRIS, twin of Susan, son of John Harris and Susan Ann HENDERSON was born 12 September 1847 near Covington, Georgia. There is quite a romance connected with the life of William Harris. Years ago, a detachment of United States soldiers on their way to fight the Indians passed through Covington, Georgia. There was a young Englishman by the name of George Daniels, who had left his home in London and came over to this country. He had joined the army and was with this detachment when they passed through Covington. Mr. Daniels being sick with a fever, they left him there to die, but the citizens nursed him back to life and then sent a petition for his release from the army. He stayed there and married in that place. He had three daughters. When his second daughter was about ten years old, William Harris, only a few months older than she, exchanged rings and called themselves en- gaged. The rings were lost, but not their fondness for each other. When they grew older they exchanged rings and were engaged in earnest. When Sherman's raiders first entered Covington (during the Civil War) a reckless Southerner shot two of his soldiers. This southerner was afterwards killed by the Union men as a punishment, but to further satisfy vengence they must kill another man. George Daniels, for some reason, was not in the Southern army. One morning as Mr. Daniels was going hunting he was found with the gun before he could conceal it. They would listen to no explanation, but took him out and shot him. His father, during the war, died in London. His three daughters were sent for as soon as the war was over to come to London and take charge of their property. The daughters remained in London eight years, or, until the youngest became of age. Then they returned to the United States, and in two weeks after their return to Georgia, William Harris and Virginia E. Daniels were married 8 June 1873 at Covington. They were married according to the English style, before twelve o'clock in the forenoon, and by the Episcopal service. By her he had two children, one son and one daughter. Mr. Harris was very kind hearted and a very sweet dis- positioned man, kind to the poor and afflicted; his heart and hand were ever open to the wants of the needy. He said that he tried to live right and he died in peace with all men. He died 24 November 1877, leaving a wife and two small children to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father and a loving husband. 1. Ethel Virginia Harris b. 1 Aug 1874 2. George William Harris b. 27 Oct 1875 AERIE MELISSA HARRIS, daughter of John Harris and Susan Ann HENDERSON was born 20 February 1849 near Covington, Georgia. She was a very unselfish girl and thought more of the happiness of others than her own happiness. At the time of her mothers death she was engaged to be married, but she anukked the engagement and devoted her time to her younger brothers and sisters, until they were grown, and filled as near as she could the place of a mother. After twelve years the engagement was renewed and she married Jacob A. HENRY 19 February 1878, by whom she had one child who died in infancy. Mr. and Mrs. Henry lived in Baltimore, Maryland, where Mr. Henry was in the Oyster business with William Ellis and Company. Mrs. Henry died in Baltimore, Maryland 31 August 1882. SARAH EUDOCIA HARRIS, daughter of John Harris and Susan Ann HENDERSON was born 8 February 1853 near Covington, Georgia where she married Bliss ANDERSON in December 1872 and had three children. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson lived near Covington, Georgia in 1882. He was a farmer. Mrs. Anderson is a ggod Christian devoted to her husband, home and children. 1. John Harris Anderson b. 7 Jly 1874 2. Willie Brown Anderson (Female) b. 4 Oct 1877 3. Jacob Henry Anderson b. 10 Nov 1880 JACK NEHEMIAH HARRIS, son of John Harris and Susan Ann HENDERSON was born 11 October 1855 near Covington, Georgia.

[From Phil Harris] jpharris@juno.com I would like to thank Noël Robertson and Duane Hall for including a number of things I have written on the new Harris of Essex website. They have included articles I have previously posted on Harris-Va establishing the identity of William Harris of Jamestown as well as articles and postings identifying the wives of Capt. Thomas Harris and establishing the Aylesbury connection. All of these have appeared in other places, but I believe this is the first time they have all been placed together in one source. I am honored that my articles have been chosen to appear with so many other valuable Harris family history resources. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to view this fantastic website, the URL is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~harrisessex/index.html This website has a very good collection of primary resource information concerning the early Harris family in Essex, England as well as the early generations in Virginia. For those of you who have made it back that far in your research, it is an invaluable resource. I encourage everyone to look through the pages of this website. I am certain you will find information that will be of value to you in your research. Phil Harris jpharris@juno.com

I am seeking information on Archie [Archibald?] Sanford Harris who married Emma Jane Price. No locations or dates are known. We do believe they had a daughter named Norma Bessie Harris who was born in 1908 in Erath County, Texas. It appears that Archie and his family emigrated to McLennan County, Texas, sometime before 1929. Daughter Norma married George Edward Smith in Waco, McLennan County, Texas, in 1929. Do these few names and facts sound familiar to anyone? Thanks.
