Am still hoping to get some info on the John Harris family who settled in PA and the same John Harris who is credited with naming Harrisburg. I know that my great-grandfather, the Rev. Jacob Harris, left Harrisburg and went south about the time the Civil War started. He settled first in Trade, TN, and later went to Grandfather Mountain, NC. My grandfather, Roy Robeson Harris, was born in NC about 1880. I am looking for info prior to the Rev. Jacob Harris. Thanks,Loyless Harrisloy_h@excite.comThe best thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Hello list, Until recently I was the owner of a newsagents shop on Saffron Lane, Leicester. In the attic we found a collection of documents (invoices, bills, receipts etc.) relating to the first year the shop was open. The earliest is a bill from H.Timson & Sons Furniture Removers, Storers & Carriers 26 and 28 Curzon Street Leicester This is dated 4 March 1927 and is addressed to the first owner of the shop, Mrs.M.A.HARRIS, "Last shop, right hand side of Saffron Lane, nr Bus Terminus". The bill is for £4 & 10 shillings. Note that the shop is no longer the "last shop", or near the bus terminus. It is now number 583 Saffron Lane. If anybody is researching their HARRIS ancestry and has connections to "Mrs.M.A.", I would be happy to copy, or share information about these documents. When I get time I intend to gather together the names of all the firms etc supplying goods to the shop, which I will then post on the list. Please get in touch if you think I can help you. Michael & Amanda Lord Braunstone Town Leicester

Seeking husband or descendents of Phebe (maiden name unknown) Harris. She was living in Sumter Co., GA at the time if the 1850 census. Family legend has it that they lived in Cobb Co., GA, and were originally from Harris Island in Scotland. Phebe is shown with the following children all born in GA: Nancy b 1827 Hilliard b 1828 (he is married and his wife Elizabeth is living in the same household) June or Jane b 1831 Jefferson b 1833 Lydia b 1835 James b 1836 Rebecca b 1838 Benton or Burton b 1840 Georgia Ann b 1842 Arminada b 1844 Family stories say this family lived for a while in or around Atlanta. Hilliard and Elizabeth McCorkle Harris, and his sister Lydia, had migrated to southeast Arkansas before 1861. It is believed that Hilliard went back to GA in 1861 to sign up to fight with CSA friends and family. I have much to share on this line. Teresa Harris

Seeking any documentation that shows Josiah HARRIS, b. 1813 Estill Co as a son of William HARRIS and Anna Oldham. I have descendency of Josiah HARRIS and spouse, Sarah TIPTON, m. 9/28/1835 in Estill Co. Am willing to share in exchange for some documentation or proof of Josiah's parentage. Lois in Auburn, CA

Looking for any information on the family, relatives or offspring of Sarah Emily Harris (DOB: July 1867 Grandby, Quebec, Canada - DOD: 1952 Roseberg, Oregon) and William McGuirk of Roseberg, Oregon. Any assistance would be appreciated. John Lee Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada

Looking for information on: George Hugh Harris was born 31 Oct 1871 in Wisconsin. He died 8 May 1941 in Milton, Oregon and was buried 1941 in Milton Freewater. George married Millie Harris. Millie was born 22 May 1879 in Montana. She died Dec 1954 in Milton, Oregon. Would like to know about George's parents, brothers, sisters, etc.. Any information would be appreciated.

Looking for information on a J. Henry Harris. In 1942, he signed an affidavit as a non-relative on my grandfather's (John Samuel Buntin) birth certificate from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He was then 75 years of age and possibly living in Madisonville or Earlington. Would like to know if he had a son with the name of Eddie or Edward of whom was married to my great aunt, Mrs. Eddie Harris. I haven't a first name for this aunt. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Harris had been living in Earlington as late as 1957. Thanks. C. Buntin

Isaac Harris' will (written 27 May 1807 Halifax Co. NC) left his daughter Martha Ann "Patsy" Williams' portion in trust of his son and executor also named Isaac Harris. Isaac (Jr.) went to Davidson Co. TN and while there still held the trust. When Martha's husband Benjamin Williams died in 1816 in Dickson Co. TN, Isaac (Jr.) deeded the land to his nephews and niece, Benjamin's heirs, and named them in the deed: Jones, Harris, Etheldred, Buckner, Benjamin, Plummer, Tippo and Martha Williams. Does anyone on the list have the deed book, date, and page for the deed that was made? Also in what county was the deed made? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know the source for Martha Harris and Benjamin Williams marriage 27 May 1784? That date is on a record copy of a DAR application I have. The applicant cited another DAR application as the source for this information which didn't help answer my question at all. Another researcher on the Williams and Harris lines said he saw the marriage date in a family bible belonging to Martha Harris Williams' son, Plummer Williams, but the owner of the bible wouldn't let him make a copy of it. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a list of the children of this couple? They were married 2/4/1790 in Clark Co; however, it appears that they lived most of their lives in Estill County. I know the boundaries changed, so perhaps they never moved but just had the lines moved on them. I have been given a partial list of the children; however, I have no proof: Levina, b. abt 1795 William, b. abt 1796 Docia, b. abt 1808 Josiah, b. 1813 Patsy (Martha), b. abt 1817 I know there must be other children of this marriage due to the gaps between the ones I have listed. If anyone has any info on this family, please post. I am trying to connect "my" Josiah Harris with this line, but can find no proof. Lois in Auburn, CA

Dear Betty: you said you have much information on your HARRIS. Any chance you have a John HARRIS who would have been of marrying age abt 1930 in AZ? Looking for a spouse to Susann (FERKO) DENZIEN. John would have died between 1930 and 1937 when Susann died and is listed as a widow. Sincerely, Victor

I am a new subscriber, so I am not sure what I am supposed to do. I hope this is correct. If not, I am sure someone will tell me what I did wrong and how to correct it. I am looking for information about Stephen Franklin Harriss and his wife Jamima Caroline Watt or Watts. He wad born February 13, 1825 in Franklin County, Georgia and he died Deecember 7, 1903. I have a great deal of information about him and his descendents. I am looking for his ancestors. His wife was born in 1836 or 1837. I do not know where she was born. She died February 13, 1913. They married in 1861. I will share all that I have. Betty

I believe that Christian Harris is the widow of William Harris who died in 1831 at Saline Co. MO and who married Christian Johnson in 1823, probably at Madison Co., KY. Their daughter, Lucy, from whom I am descended, was born in 1831 at saline Co., MO. If this seems to fit your data please contact me. I have been looking for Christian's parents for a long time. I have a little information also on William Harris' family, but need much more.

Dear Lois, I don't know if or precisely how this (Captain) William HARRIS connects with my HARRIS family in early 1600s in Virginia but I am in hopes that someone on the list can help clear up the dates for us as mine a bit different than yours as I show below. This information came to me along with other information that connects with my research so I am not sure of the total accuracy or citations of proof but, perhaps, it will give you something to utilize for more intensive research and, perhaps, there is someone on the list that will have corrections and/or additions.
