I have been stuck for literally years on this family and need the lists help in trying to place him. He is Benjamin Harris b: abt 1824 in NC. He was first married to Rutha (no last name) b: abt 1825 in TN. They had 9 children: Mary D, Hiram or Herman, Melvina, Thomas J, William H, Rebecca F, James, Robert M, and Martha. Then he married Harriett (Rittie) Knox in Cumberland county, TN. and had the following children: Andrew John, Rhoda & Ruthie Jane. He lived in Bledsoe co TN with first wife and Cumberland co TN with second wife. My grandfather, Curtis Harris was born through Ruthie Jane Harris. I believe Benjamin's mother was Elizabeth Harris b: abt 1780-1800 in NC. Don't know who her husband was. Possible brothers for Benjamin were: William Lacey, Lorenzo Dow and William Oliver Peter Harris. All of these men were born in NC between 1815 and 1824 and migrated to TN. I was wondering about West Harris and his descendants from NC when I saw your message. Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Crystal
