Hopelessly & helplessly looking for the following family links in Philadelphia: JOSEPH GEORGE HARRIS,MD married a LENA(MITNICK?) Phillips around 1897.  Lena was born in Poland (Russia) in 1868 & arrived USA around 1871.  Her first marriage was to a BARNET?PHILLIPS... HETTIE (Hattie) 1886, JOSEPH 1888 & DAVID 1889(my father) were their children. Her second marriage to Dr. Harris bore: RUTH 1898, NATHAN (Kathan?) LOUIE 1900 & EDWARD KING 1905. JOSEPH PHILLIPS married FANNIE.  EVELYN was born 1911/12. A DAVID PHILLIPS, Attorney, may have been a family member. (He may have been a brother to BARNET PHILLIPS.) He was born 1974 & died 1930.. He was married to a HETTIE & their son, BERNARD, was born 1901/1902. Please advise if anyone has knowledge of these families..... Thank you,,,,,,, Evelyn (not the 1911 one!)

Looking for any info re: the above. He and a sister were enumerated in the household of Evan LIPE in the 1850 Federal Census on Bates Co. MO.. In 1860 Evan was in Vernon Co. and the Harris children were not with him.. Any help a plus. Clyde Gotcher - Hermann MO Raking the leaves under my family tree.

I don't have a lot to go on, but thought I'd try it anyway. You never know if someone else is searching the same family. In my case I only have a person, not the whole family. I'd like to find the birth place for Eliza Ann HARRIS, she was born about 1844, in 1860 she married William N. CULP/COLP in Jackson County, Illinois. (William was from Franklin County) Could it be likely she was from Jackson County? I would like to be able to find her parents and siblings. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance. Regards, Jackie

I am searching for any information on my g grandmother, Maggie Melinda Harris Bunch. She was originally a Wilder and was given away on the street in Sneedville, Hancock Co., TN , by her mother, to a lady by the name of Harris. She was raised by the Harris family and in later years, always listed her maiden name as Harris. She married my g grandfather, Henry Bunch, son of Jesse Bunch and Ellen Williams Bunch in Hancock County. She was born in 1883. They moved to Darwin, VA in 1905. I would love to find out who her parents were and also the Harris family that raised her. If she is familiar to anyone, please let me know. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me. smiddy@ccdi.net

Hello, Re: Cherokee - Scottish ancestry in 1780's Richmond Co., NC I am looking for information regarding my 3rd great grandmother, Mary McDONALD, who, as with other McDONALD's, could also be known as McDANIEL. My question of the moment to any of you researching this timeframe of 1780's in Richmond County, North Carolina is regarding the possibility of Mary McDONALD's family which, obviously, has Scottish ancestry.........perhaps being one of the many Scottish families that married into Cherokee families. Just recently, it has come to my attention that there were many Cherokee and Scottish families especially out of North Carolina in the 1700's. When I became aware of this situation as it applies to other family lines of mine, I began to wonder whether or not this might be the source of Native American Indian lineage that my grandfather, Louis Hector SLAUGHTER, born: 14 Feb 1869 near Liddieville, Franklin County, MS, spoke to my mother about before his death in 1938. He mentioned, specifically, to her ancestry of his that was Native American Indian and French. So far, through researching the SLAUGHTER lineage there has not surfaced any Indian nor French heritage at this point. His mother was Claranda "Clara" WILLIAMS in Catahoula and Franklin Parish, LA and I am still researching her family with her father, William WILLIAMS, born in abt. 1790 in Maryland, and the mother of my great grandfather, Hudson H. SLAUGHTER, born: 13 Mar 1844 in Greene Co./Pickens Co., AL, who was Susan CROUCH, born: abt. 1815 in NC, (daughter of Samuel CROUCH, born: abt. 1785 in NC,) who married John M. SLAUGHTER, born: abt. 1795 in NC, who was the son of Mary McDONALD and Owen SLAUGHTER, Jr., (son of Owen SLAUGHTER, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth BOLTON.) Up until recently, I hadn't specifically thought that Mary McDONALD might be the source for the Native American ancestry as I tended to think of the French and the Indian ancestry being in the same family branch but, upon hearing of the several family groups of Scottish - Cherokee families that I possibly connect to through other lines it brightened my hopes that, perhaps, I might find the information that I am searching for within Scottish - Cherokee McDONALD families in the late 1700's in Richmond County, North Carolina. While Mary McDONALD is my maternal 3rd great grandmother the timeframe would have 'normally' allowed her to be my 4th or 5th great grandmother but her son and great grandson both married women that were approximately 20 years younger than themselves as 2nd and 3rd marriages. Mary McDONALD/McDANIEL married Owen SLAUGHTER, Jr. in 1782 in Richmond Co., NC. A brief family tree with their children is listed below. OWEN SLAUGHTER, JR., (Rev.) .......b. Abt. 1760, ...........Anson County, North Carolina; .......d. February 03, 1830, ...........Richmond Co., North Carolina .......mother: Mary Elizabeth BOLTON .......father: Owen SLAUGHTER, Sr. md: wife # 1: MARY MCDONALD/MCDANIEL ............md: in abt. 1782 in Richmond Co., NC ............mother: ?? ............father: ?

Jim,I forgot to say "thanks" for the link rosemarie casey

My parents are from NC--there is direct HARRIS lines on both sides --we (my siblings) also have strong reason to believe there is American Indian on both sides--we are waitng for dna blood testing results to confirm or not--I can't seem to trace back the HARRIS lines past my great grandparents on either side (mid 1860`s) rosemarie casey

Harris were possibly Indian traders or connected to the Indian trade in the southeast, as the name is listed in the surname index of a three volume set of Indian Affairs journals, located at http://members.aol.com/rarebk Once at the site, go to Booklists, then Native American Genealogy, and scroll down to the Cherokee Ancestry CD. There you will see a link to the surnames. This site also has an on-line tutorial that shows how to do Native American Genealogy research (the 1835 Cherokee census is within that) and explains the rolls in detail, also some CD's that look to have lots of resource material, and a surname index to Starr's "Old Cherokee Families and their Genealogy." There is more, but too much to list here. Jim _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

I have a SS-5 form filled out on Lily from 1945. She was born in Campbell Hill, IL county of Jackson. If anyone is looking for Lily, I would be happy to mail this form to you. She's not the Lily I'm looking for and since I paid for the form I'd like someone to have it. Please email me directly if this is someone you know. Dawn Harris, McClure and Cole So.

I can't locate Lyman P. Harris b. abt 1818 in NY. I find him in the 1850 census but can not locate him in 1860 or 1870. I figure he might be in IN in 1860 he would be 42 with wife Elvira, son Edwin, daughters Emma, Ella and one unknown. In 1870 he might be in IN or IL with wife and Ella. If there is anyone with knowledge of him or have census for those states I would sure appreciate any information you could obtain for me. Evans
