Angela, I have never seen this information before. Edward is named in the will of Thomas Harris. DNA study now has two matches for for this line one Daniel moved to Grainvile, NC and the other Edward stayed in Southampton Co.VA. Any direct male decendent of Thomas's line is invited to join the study. This would disprove the theory of a stray Henry from Wales. Darlene

I have been tracing the line of Harrises that emerged from Brunswick County, VA in the early 1700's and migrated south to NC and eventually Wilkes, Greene, and Warren Counties, GA. I came across this website: http://www.marthaann.org/harrisorigins.html which contains conflicting information. Now, I am confused. I have always thought that Edward Harris, father of Nathan Harris (b. 1716), and grandfather of Walton Harris (b. 1739 - he eventually married Rebecca Lanier), was the son of Thomas Harris, who was the grandson of Sir William Harris of Cricksea, Essex, England. The following passage from the above-noted website tells me that Edward was not the son of Thomas Harris, but of a guy named Henry Harris who immigrated to Virginia from Wales in 1691. Has anyone come across any proof of Edward having been the son of a Henry Harris from Wales?? Or does anyone have any definitive proof of Edward being the son of Thomas? I hope someone can set me straight in this matter. >Henry Harris emigrated from Whales and settled in Virginia in 1691 No. 2. Edward Harris had thirteen children, eight sons, five daughters. No. 3. Nathan Harris, tenth child, was born 1716 and married (1737) Catherine Walton of Burnswick County Virginia. Ahe was a daughter of Judge George Walton of that county. Fourteen Children: Walton, Nathan, Isaac, David (killed at the siege of Augusta, Ga.), Elias, Rowland, Herbert, Gideon, Howell, John Henry, Catherine, Martha, Elizabeth, Ann. (See page 8 Washington and Harris line.) [Note: this page number will not correspond when this is printed out. Original was on legal size paper. Note also we have retained all spelling and typographical errors, throughout,to keep this copy true to the original, e.g., Burnswick (Brunswick), Ahe (She), etc.] No. 4. Walton Harris, first child, born in Burnswick Couty, Virginia, 1739, married Rebecca Lanier, who was a great grand-daughter of John Washington, the founder of the Washington family in America. (See Washington-Harris line.) They afterwards moved to North Carolina, where theyowned the large fisheries at the mouth of the Yadkin River, and then came to Georgia. The Harrises belonged to an ancient family whos seat was in Glamorgan, Whales. They were enthusiastic members of the Welsh Baptist Society. During the flucuating religious troubles of that period, they had been compelled to fly to France, and there joined with the Hugenots, and it is probably that the intimacy was then formed between the French Laniers and the Welsh Harrises which resulted in the emigrating to America at the same time. On the promulgation of the Edict of Nantes, Welsh refugees in France returned to Whales, where they lived until the revocation of the Edict. It was then that the Laniers left their home in the south of France, and went first to England,and then to Whales. Emigrating soon after with the Harrises and others mentioned in the Lanier Papers, and settling in Virginia. Here they settled a town known as Monokim, or Monocan Town. ... It is therefore from Monacan Town that the Laniers and the Harrises derive their origin in the United States. (See Bisho! p Meade's work, "The Old Churches and Families of Virginia.") From: http://www.marthaann.org/harrisorigins.html

Ira, Most of these Harrises are decendents of Thomas Harris of Isle of Wight ,VA esp. Edward Harrises children. I believe the 1st to migrate were Daniel, West, Howell, Hardy, Jordan and Charles in 1750"s Darlene

Hi all... Yes, I definitely recognize these Harrises - they're "my" Harrises! The line goes: Willis Nelson Harris (m. 1.Susan Bradford Smith 2.Mary Bernard Conway - my g-gdm) - my g-grandfather; Hanson Harris (m. Marina Cole) Ransom Harris II (m. Susan [Sukey] Highfield) Ransom Harris I (m. Elizabeth Gilliam) Isham Harris (m. 1.Martha Rowland 2.Mabel Martha Greene) - I still can't determine which was my g-g-g-g-g-gdm. West Harris (m. Mary Turner) Some of the other names (Brittain, Hardy, Elizabeth) sound familiar but aren't in my direct line. I'll check my notes tomorrow and see if I can find them. Thanks for all your postings!

Would like to know more about this couple--if there are any descendants. There are 3 Harrises listed in the 1840 Harrison Co. KY census--Boules, L. B. Harris & Hezekiah Harris. I suspect this Wm Harris is s/o L. B. Harris who had a male son 10-15 in the 1840 census living in same precinct as Charles Bayliss. Boules & Hezekiah Harris did not show a male child that would fit the 1846 marriage timing of Wm/Letitia. I also suspect that L. B. Harris is Lindsey Brockman Harris, s/o Lindsay Harris d 1803 Orange Co., VA. Brockman Harris m Hannah Stokes 1821 Pendleton Co., KY with Charles Bayliss who gave oath that Brockman was of age. Jacob Debruler was the bondsman for this marriage. On the marriage certificate (which I have) the name of Brockman is also "Brock". Carol Barron

In the name of God Amen. I Zacheriah Harris of the County of Posey and State of Indiana, being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be given unto God; Calling into mind the mortality of my body, and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament, that is to say, principally and first of all I give and recommend my sole into the hands of Almighty God that gave it, and my body I recommend to the Earth to be buried in decent Christian burial, at the discretion of my friends. Nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again, by the mighty power of God.

I wish the first money for that amount when collected to be paid in the receiversw office at Vincennes for the purpose of pattoning my land; and the balance of my money arising from such sales to be collected and put on Interest for the solde use and Bennifit of my children when they become of age; and the same to be equally divided amon them all to be conducted by Nathaniel Merrit if willing to serve as the Law may direct in all such Cases; --- And I do hearby utterly disallow, revoke, and disannul all and every other former testaments, wills legacies, bequeaths and Executors, by me in any wise before named willed and bequeathed; ratified and confirming this and no other, to be my Last Will and testament in witness whereof I have hear unto set my hand and seal this 24th day of May in the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred and Eighteen. Signed and Sealed by Zacheriah Harris Zacheriah (X his mark) Harris(Seal) in the presents of us John Eaton Thomas (X his mark) Ashley *************************************** I believe that Zacheriah Harris is the son of Claiborne "Ned" Harris. Zacheriah was born Bet. 1775-1776 in North Carolina, and died Bef. January 1819 in Posey County, Indiana. He married Amelia "Milly" Cooper in 1808, in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. In 1800 he was living in Franklin County, Georgia, adjacent to Pendleton Dist., S.C. where Ned's line was. His known children were Stephen, Cooper, Zachariah, Susannah C., and Jeremiah. In the 1820 Posey County, Indiana census, Milly is listed as head of household with 4 sons and 1 daughter. Many of the children moved on to Iowa. *************************************** The above information came from correspondence with 2 of my "cousins", who are researching this line, and my personal research.
