    3. My 4th g.grandparents appear to be William Harris who was born in England 1747, married Elizabeth Longford born in England 1750. They were married in England and came to this country and to this town (Lunenburg, Worcester Co., Mass.) in 1776 or '77. They lived on the southern slope of Flat Hill, near the head of the present Shirley Reservoir. He died 10 Oct 1800, age 53. She died at her daughter's in South Reading 4 Jan 1819, age 70. Among their children born in Lunenburg was my 3rd g.grandfather Daniel Harris, who had a daughter Mary said to be born 29 Feb. 1815, (even thought that was not a leap year), who married my g.g.grandfather Leonard Cole in 1836. I would like to know where in England that they came from. Someone did a lookup on English marriage records and found a record of a man named Longford and a woman named Harris who lived in Wiltshire, England, and he suggested that that would be a good place to look for a record for my Harris-Longford marriage. Is anyone else researching this line? I put what I know about them on my website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bbunce77/Harris.html Thanks in advance. bb
