Hello: I descend from Judith Harris, daughter of Thomas Harris Sr, of Frederick Co. Maryland. Thomas Harris died 5 November 1757, leaving behind some instructions which confused the issue. This area is present Carroll Co., though he also had owned land across river into Present Frederick Co area. Judith Harris married Achor Worley, and they would have a daughter, Margaret, who would marry Philip Boor up in Penn., and they would have a son named Achor Harrison Boor( my great grandfather). Thomas Harris wife was Sarah ( ? ). Her maiden name unknown, as are her parents, siblings. Thomas Harris parents,siblings, where came from unknown?????? Sure need answers. All found records indicate Thomas Harris born about 1715, and married about 1736, with first unidentifed daughter born 1737, Judith 1739, Thomas Jr 1741, Mary 1743, and John 1745. Thank you. Regard. Dick

Hi, As another (white) HARRIS descendant of '1600s England to Virginia' HARRIS lineage, I, too, want to echo my support to you and anyone else providing the type of information that you did regarding the FREEDMEN's PROJECT. I am always amazed at anyone getting upset whenever there is TOO much information and, also, finding anything to be irritated about whenever the Subject line completely and clearly stipulates what the message pertains to. From the moment that they choose NOT to DELETE the message that they are opening after seeing a Subject line that doesn't apply to them they have no grounds for complaint regarding the information inside the email that pertains totally to that which the Subject line stipulated. And if the subject of 'white versus black' is the bone of contention...well, that in itself is revealing. It helps us all whenever more information about anyone's heritage is uncovered. I applaud you for being part of the solution to helping uncover the missing information. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett In a message dated 8/5/2002 11:04:46 AM Central Daylight Time, loy_h@excite.com writes: > Subj:[HARRIS] Thanks > Date:8/5/2002 11:04:46 AM Central Daylight Time > From:<A HREF="mailto:loy_h@excite.com">loy_h@excite.com</A> > To:<A HREF="mailto:HARRIS-L@rootsweb.com">HARRIS-L@rootsweb.com</A> > Sent from the Internet > > > > Thank you to the numerous persons who responded to my e-mail about the > Freedmen Project.

According to the book "Generals in Gray", Nathaniel Harrison Harris was born at Natchez, Mississippi on August 22, 1834. Among other things, the passage says that he was a law graduate of the University of Louisiana (now Tulane). According to this source, he never married and died in 1900. The passage does not offer anything about his background, but one would think that, given he was presented with the means to attend college and/or law school, more information about his family background can be found. Hope that is at least a bit helpful.

I'm still looking for my Washington Harris & Selma, "BRICK WALL" and hoped to this time being on the Harris List again find them, BUT?? It looks as if I came back to this list at the wrong time again. I joined this list over a year ago and I left it a few months later because of this very thing going on right now, plus the fact my family had never been heard of. Some people pour their heart and soul into putting together info for us that may can use it and the least we can do is GIVE THEM A BIG THANK YOU, or if we don't want something hit DELETE or there are other options. EVERY bit of info no matter what is helpful to some one person of us out here that may make all of the difference in the world to that person "AND THAT MAKES IT ALL WORTH WHILE". Gloria
The Freedmen Project information we received was much too much! I am not part of this and did not appreciate all those many e-mails for something I did not want or need. Had this person simply sent an e-mail that this information was available upon request, I would have thought nothing of it. But, the fact that I opened several to be certain that it was nothing I needed or wanted and then had to delete all the others, I found it to be a lazy way of getting information out. Not every Harris is Indian or other race. We are English (or as some like to say, WASP). Thanks for listening.

various names being researched in Hopkins Co, KY or nearby areas, ie, Webster co, KY.May be of English origin. thanks. gijoe
They told it was coming. We knew what the Freedmen Project was. Therefore if we did not have ancestors who fit the criteria, then all we had to do was delete the emails unopened. These messages are archived. If someone comes along 2 years from now who DOES need the information and the address of the sender is no longer viable, the information is there. I didn't need the info either so just deleted unopened. Dissemination of information on these lists is a good thing. --- Loy H <loy_h@excite.com> wrote: > The Freedmen Project information we received was > much too much!

Hi Joe and list members, One of the problems I had with the Freedmen Project was keeping all the previous surname list I have done up to date with the new info I was moving on to. Usally I come to a list, post the project, and then wait a few days for follow up questions, and then I move on. I could not stay on all those surname list, so I had to do something. So what I did was I created 25 STATE-FREEDMEN-L at Rootsweb. They are from New York to Indiana and all states below, east of the Mississippi. This way list members can subscribe in digest or list mode, to there state, and never miss a name I will be posting. But they must visit the surname list to get the info, after I have given the notice. I give the state list advance notice to all future postings. On the state list a subscriber can visit the archive and see the COMPLETE ROLLS of the: 1902 Dawes Freedmen 1906 Dawes Freedmen Minors 1869 CNWest Census 1880 CNWColored census I then created a screen, just for the Freedmen Project only.Which you can send your questions to. It is: FreedmenProject@aol.com As a special part of the Project, only ROOTSWEB SURNAME list will recieve the surname reports, for their particular surname. Finally there will be only one website which will host the complete FREEDMEN PROJECT and all the surname reports as well as any special work done in the future. I will hopefully this weekend get the website information posted to all of the state list taglines, reguarding that site. It is still under construction. Mr Dan Stayton of the CHEROKEE-L has worked many, many hours on this site. <A HREF="http://www.wvi.com/~wb/Cherokee.html"> Cherokee Genealogy</A> http://www.wvi.com/~wb/Cherokee.html So should anyone want to subscribe to their state list, just go to : EXAMPLE NY-FREEDMEN-L@rootsweb.com OK-FREEDMEN-L@rootsweb.com, or any of the others.
