carol   so, are we saying here that thomas poore did have a daughter elizabeth harris, but that she was not the wife of robert harris but, instead, this was robert harris' wife, elizabeth, who was the daughter of this isaac morris?   or again, we could still be talking about a robert harris, sr and a robert harris, jr and that both of their wives were named, elizabeth.   robert harris, sr's could still have been the robert harris, who was involved with thomas poore re the estate of issac morris there in st martin's parish there in hanover co, va so that it was this robert harris, sr's wife, elizabeth, who was the daughter of this thomas poore.     then, it could have been this robert harris, sr/ elizabeth poore's son, robert harris, jr, who actually married a daughter of this isaac morris.   the main thing is that we are talking about robert harrises there in st martin's parish, hanover co, va, who are potentially part of our captain thomas harris' harris line and family and who were not the robert harris, sr, who was married to mourning glenn or his son, robert harris, jr, who married lucretia brown and who are said to have been part of the captain william harris/ temperance overton harris line and family.   so, again, whether we are talking about a robert harris and/ or both a robert harris, sr and robert harris, jr, who was married to elizabeth poore or to elizabeth morris and/ or, again, that robert harris, sr was married to elizabeth poore and robert harris, jr was married to elizabeth morris, we are talking about robert harrises, who were, again, not the same as robert harris, sr/ mourning glenn or his son, robert harris, jr/ lucretia brown, and, again, this or these robert harrises involved with your thomas harris; the depriest family, etc, have to be seriously considered as being part of our captain thomas harris' harris line and family and probably related to your thomas harris.   to be continued:     belva harris cauthen harris dna group 8--------26910 --- On Sat, 12/20/08, Carol E Barron <[email protected]> wrote: From: Carol E Barron <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [HARRIS-HUNTERS] re robert harris/ thomas poore/ depriest/ crenshaw part two To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, December 20, 2008, 3:44 PM Bev,  below Amelia Will Book entries of Isaac Morris' 1750 estate from which he names a dau.

Looking for the proper Harris family for three girls in the guardianship of Lemuel Kelso, Dubois Co, IN, 1874. The girls are Margaret E. Harris, Polly Harris, and Minerva Harris. Polly Harris later marries James Payne. The father may be Isham Harris; if so, is he from VA or from NC? Thanks for your response, Nancy Cooper

i want to go back to this info which pat posted recently wherein robert harris; robert depriest; and thomas poore were to appraise the estate of isaac morris there in hanover co, va.   the info also shows that an elizabeth harris was the daughter of this thomas poore.   when i go to these rootsweb/ family tree sites, which are not always accurate, if they list a husband for elizabeth poore harris, they have him as tyre harris.   this does not exactly make sense since the info itself shows that this was a robert harris involved with thomas poore.   is there any info that connects a tyre harris with thomas poore ?   again, this is definitely indicated/ shown to  have been the same robert harris/ elizabeth of st martin's parish, hanover co, va who sold land to carol's thomas harris and this stephen davis, which was also witnessed by the depriest family, who, again, was also involved there with this thomas poore.   so, the info would indicate to me that it was this robert harris' wife, elizabeth, who was the daughter of this thomas poore.     is this also, pat, what you are thinking and saying and, perhaps, you did already and i missed it?   one thing, for sure, if this robert harris' wife, elizabeth, was the daughter of this thomas poore, then, this robert harris was surely not the same robert harris, who was married to mourning glenn or his son, robert harris, who was married to lucretia brown and-----------    given this robert harris' definite association with carol's thomas harris, the info would, again, indicate to me that this robert harris/ elizabeth poore was somehow part of our captain thomas harris' harris line and family.   here, again, are also the excerpts from the deeds wherein this robert harris, elizabeth of st martin's parish, hanover co, va, sold land both to carol's thomas harris and this stephen davis, which, again, was also witnessed by the depriest family.   23 June 1748 Robert Harris of St. Martin Parish, Hanover County to Thomas Harris of same for £25, 400 acres in Amelia County on the south side of the North fork of Falling Creek.

BoxerB wrote in part: As I have said before, I read a lot about persons who have gone to SC, NC and made the southern circle. My problem is that mine ancestor, George Harris who married Sarah Hudson, went to KY. Another problem is that we can't come up with a male direct from my George O Harris line. My response: A good many of us research folks in colonial/pre-Revolutionary Virginia--and North Carolina, same time--and may stumble on your folks. BUT -- your query should have some DATES!!! and maybe some counties if you know that! Kentucky was formed 1792 from Virginia. If you give a date, perhaps some of us can figure out HOW and WHEN your George O. Harris migrated. There weren't a lot of counties in Kentucky at the beginning. Some of the counties were huge, but as they got more populated, people could petition that they wanted a new county. Somewhere I was told that the custom/law was that the courthouse should NOT be more than a days' horseback ride away. (Anyone want to confirm that suggestion?) Probably at the time Kentucky was being settled by non-native folks, the population was not that great. Even if your folks were in a *burned* county, there may be a record in an adjoining county. People poured into Kentucky from everywhere, but mostly from Virginia and North Carolina. However, if you read some of the transcriptions of the Kentucky Court of Appeals books by Michael L. Cook and Bettie Cummings Cook, you will see references to people from Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc. I think the reason lots of us have trouble is that we don't realize that the counties divided all the time. Not only do we have to study the genealogy of people, we have to study the genealogy of counties. Which complicates matters, but that is part of the study of this process!!! Maybe a website like this one will help you get some bearings. _http://www.mykentuckygenealogy.com/ky_county.htm#facts_ (http://www.mykentuckygenealogy.com/ky_county.htm#facts) If you go down to the bottom of the screen, you will find a lot of facts about the history of Kentucky Also, try these websites _http://www.myvirginiagenealogy.com/va_maps/va_cf.htm_ (http://www.myvirginiagenealogy.com/va_maps/va_cf.htm) p://www.mynorthcarolinagenealogy.com/nc_maps/nc_cf.htm Does your local library -- or a nearby library-- or your State Library have a subscription to HeritageQuest?. Confer with your local librarian. Ask him/her to help you locate a library which has a subscription. Perhaps, for a *out-of-towner* fee you can get a card [the number on the card is your password] from a library in an adjoining county. All the censuses are on HQ, a lot of books, some Rev. War pension claims, etc. Maybe George will pop up. Middle names were not used for a long time in this country, unless there was a need for a middle name. So leave out the O [unless he used that O in county documents] when searching for George Harris!!!

Has anyone made any connections between Dabney Harris (1820-1897 Buckingham Co., VA, m. Frances Scruggs) and the earlier Harris/Dabney connections from that area? Does anyone know who this Dabney's parents were? Dave

I have a couple of bits of Mumford /Marable information. When we lived in CT there were Mumfords, Monros and Harrises buried near each other in Ye Olde Burying Ground in New London. My Claiborne's son was Mumford Monroe Harris. These graves in CT dated into the late 1600's and early 1700's. There were other family names i.e. Samuel and Sarah (my name) on the Harris stones. This leads me to wonder if my Claiborne's ancestors came from Ct. I have not been able to find a connection since there is a lot of time between when he was born (maybe 1760-65) and those early graves. Also after my Claiborne Harris got to the Dickson/Montgomery County TN area between 1807 and the mid 1820's I believe there were Marables living in that area also. My Claiborne lived near some McFalls and I found a McFall road in the Yellow creek area of Dickson/Montgomery Co., TN I will have to look this up but I believe that Marables worked on the road with Claiborne and his sons. Hope these bits of information will fit in someone's puzzle. Sarah ____________________________________________________________ Free info on nursing jobs. Earn more money.

I find the discussion of the connections between the Harris and Mumford families of interest. The following deed-- Patrick Co, VA Deed from George Rogers of Tennessee to William Harris 14 Jan 1804 Bk 2/p 305 bordering Joshua Renfroe, Robert Rogers, David Davis, Daniel Askew. Wit: Rebeccah Harris Mumford --refers to William Harris who moved from Halifax Co. VA to Stokes Co, NC between 1798 and 1800 and to Patrick Co. by 1803. When this William Harris first bought land in Halifax Co. in 1778, he was "William Harris of Amelia Co. VA" on the deed. In 1779 William sold land in Halifax Co. to a John Harris "of Amelia Co.") and in 1781 to a James Harris. This land was in the vicinity of Difficult Creek. He had two known sons--Barnard b. @1768 and Elijah b. @1775; his wife was named Elizabeth, last name unknown. The 1800 Stokes Co, NC census indicates other males in his household and the households of Barnard Harris and a John Harris were listed next to him (Elijah was on the Halifax Co. VA personal property tax list through 1806, after which he moved to Patrick Co.) Amelia Co. records point to a William Harris who lived in the northwestern part of Amelia Co. in the vicinity of Sandy Creek and Stocks Creek--between Flatt Creek and the Appomattox River. William was closely associated in Halifax Co. with the Vasser family and the Pringle/Prindle family, who also came to Halifax Co. from Amelia Co. In Amelia Co. he was also associated with the Hendrick(s) family. In both Halifax Co. and Patrick Co., William, Barnard and Elijah were closely associated with the family of Peter and Martha Hudson, Sr. The Claiborne Harris who married Sally Hudson 1789 Charlotte Co, VA lived near William and his sons in Halifax Co. William's son, Elijah, married Nancy Lee, d/o William Lee, 1794 Halifax Co. They had at least two sons, Joseph and Claiborne. Descendants of Joseph and Claiborne are Harris DNA Group 30. I would appreciate any ideas about who Rebeccah Harris Mumford was as well as any other information that would help us identify who our William Harris was. Pat Seaver

I would be particularly interested, as William's grandson, Joseph named his eldest daughter Rebecca. After his great aunt? Was Rebecca William and Elizabeth's daughter? William's sister (if so, she would have been pretty old by then)? If memory serves, we have seen no mention of daughters of William and Elizabeth, but that doesn't mean there weren't any. Nor, as far as I remember any marriage records for an Elizabeth Harris to a Mumford. I'll check. Alternatively, this Rebecca could have been the daughter of John or James Harris who was associated with William Harris in Halifax and, possibly Amelia Co. Williams's brothers? Cousins? Nephews? Sons? Making Elizabeth Williams's neice, 2nd cousin, cousin once removed, etc? I'm going to see what I can find about a man named Mumford in Patrick or Halifax Co.

Dear Harris-Hunters, Some of my correspondents tell me that Sarah, the wife of Benjamin Harris of colonial Louisa Co., VA was of the Dumas family.

    The Mumford name certainly seems significant , altho it is spelled Munford in some places. It is used as a given name by some of my distant relatives on the Medlock side, ie Mumford DeJarnette. Also of interest to me is the Estes name as one of my cousins married an Estes girl and one of their sons was named Estes Bozeman. Small world,huh. My Medlocks were from VA,SC, AL and my Bozemans from GA,Fl, and points west. Of course I am still pursuing the elusive Levi Harris who married Dorothy Bozeman in Jefferson territory, Fl. in 1831.

again, per this patent, which pat cited re matthew marable, which had been a former patent to john cargill, sr/ rachel tinsley and which was in the line of munford, etc, and, as i renoted, the  munford, bolling, and stith families inter-married and, again, info can be found on them on line.   i am going to, for now, cite this particular post because this person also interested in the munfords is also interested in the estes family and, as shown, info says that this thomas poore was the son-in-law of this abraham estes.   again, it was this same thomas poore, who, along with robert depriest; robert harris; and  george turner,  were to appraise the land of this isaac morris there in hanover co, va.   again, this is/ was the same robert harris, of st martin's parish, hanover co, va, who also sold land to carol's thomas harris and also to stephen davis, which was also witnessed by the depriest family.     -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] On Behalf Of Roberta J. Estes Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 3:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ESTES] Estes/Munford Info from Amelia County Elisha Estes, son of Abraham the immigrant lived in Amelia County for some time before he went to Halifax and then Henry where he died. His wife was Mary Ann Munford. Mary Ann's father was James Munford and this is proven by his will which is in the Amelia County records. This is not my line, but Donna Hull, who is from this line asked me to look up these names plus Thomas Poore (son-in-law of our Abraham the immigrant) and John Chaffin who is another line for her. I did the lookups and here is what I found. I hope that these will be of use to Estes researchers who descend from Elisha's line. Bobbi Estes Note - I am only extracting the items in which they are a direct player, not where they are witnesses, etc. There are just too many of those for James Munford (Mumford). I am looking for James Munford, Thomas Poore and John Chaffin. Will Book 1 (You are one lucky woman. I am very envious. I never have this kind of luck.) James Munford of Nottoway Parish will March 19 1754 probated April 25 1754 witness Daniel Jones, W. Bumpass, Samuel Pryer, Joel Farguson. Executor David Holt, son Robert Munford. Wife Elizabeth 1000 acres lower side Sweathouse Creek incl plantation for life then to son William, wife all household furniture including 1 dozen silver spoons with arms of Bolling family on them, to my executor David Holt and Robert Munford 815 acres remaining lower part my tract on Sweathouse Ck joining lines Thomas Booth, Wood Jones to be sold and money from it to pay my debts. Richard Estis son of Elisha Estis 400 acres between Samuel Gordon and myself on Seneca Ck in Lunenburg Co, son Robert remaining tract on Seneca Ck in Lunenburg. Slaves: all the negroes now on my plantation, no names mentioned except Peter and Fanny. Major James Munford estate inventory and sale returned June 25 1756 recorded June 26th by Exec David Holt Jr, Robert Munford. Slaves: Linda and her child Peter, man Ceser, girl Fanney. Names mentioned are Leonard Claiborne, Richard Claiborne, Samuel Pryor, J. Munford, Hugh Miller, D. Greenhill, Mr. Moras, Robert Munford, Laurence Wells, John Banister, John Wadlington. James Munford estate settlement returned Sept 8 1756, examined by Henry Ward and David Greenhill, names mentioned are Honor Powell (for coffin) Samuel Gordon, John Wilson, James Clark, Thomas Eggelston, Mr. Harris, Richard Booker. (OK, so now you know that he was related to the Bolling family, possibly via his wife or maybe his mother.) Will Book 2 None Court Order Book 1 1735-1746 Nothing of note except a chancery suit Clement Read vs James Munford and Mathew Talbot. In case you don't know about chancery suits, the suit packets still exist. I believe Amelia's are listed on the library of Va web site and I have a researcher who will go and copy the packet and sent it to you for very reasonable. These can be goldmiles sometimes with genealogical info going back for generations if it is a will or estate settlement that is contested. This suit ended in order book 2 July 19 1746 and the defendants defaulted so it was found against them. This is where you should look for the chancery suit - in the 1746 records. They are kept by when the suit was settled. Court Order Book 2 1746-751 Munford is there - nothing of importance He is obviously doing business there as soon as the county was formed because he appears within the first 10 pages of the book. He also obviously does not live there because he never serves on a jury or is on a road crew (his tithes) and given his station in life, he most certainly would be were he living in the county. May 17 1751 - Robert Depriest, Robert Harris, Thomas Pore and George Turner or any three to appraise and value estate of Isaac Morris in Hanover Co and make return. Will Book 2X 1761-1771 Nothing direct (the last names are listed for Munford and Mumford, but no wills for James) Misc Records 1735-1865 In a section called Amelia Landowners on the move - James Munford is in Prince George Co in 1741 and is in Raleigh Parish, Amelia in 1754 (deed book 5 page 104) Deed book 1 - James Munford of Prince George Co to Alexander Howard of Prince George July 15 1742 20# wit Daniel Jackson, Richard Glascock and Harry Strutton 196 acres on Sweat House Ck same being land Munford bought of Robert Davis whereon said Davis lived.
