Good evening Myra...I never realized there is 350 HARRIS' on this list. One would think with that many it would make our job of family hunting easier. Not so. Most of my HARRIS' are from Pitt County NC. I've only gotten back as far as Joseph b.abt 1785. His son Guilford,is my g-grandfather. I have found much info about Guilford, but not too much for Joseph. Only that he was married twice and his occupation was a Cooper/Farmer. Guilford is buried in Hanrahan Cemetery, but haven't found a grave for Joseph. To all the cousin on the list..HAPPY NEW YEAR..Maybe we are related more than we know. Good luck on your new task of list-keeper Guilford Harris Long Island NY From: <MyraChamb@cs.com> To: <HARRIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 8:43 PM Subject: [HARRIS] New Listowner > Hello, Harris Cousins, > > My name is Myra Chambers, and I have just named the new Listowner for the > Harris mail list.
