Thanks, Richard. Still looking for parents/siblings of Archelaus Harris who was b. 6/9/1736 in VA, lived in Louisa Co., VA. He married Frances Smith (daughter of John Smith and Frances Anderson). His daughter Ann Nancy (or Nancy Ann) married Hickerson Cosby October 13, 1780 in Louisa Co., VA. Archelaus died in Wilkes Co., GA in 1792. Other children were Barbara Overton Harris, and Robert Harris.

This is in reply to Gwena ZIKE's (dzk217@consolidated.net) Apr. 14, 2004, posting to the HARRIS-HUNTERS-L@rootsweb.com list titled "Harris' Brunswick county VA, Rutherford & Burke counties in NC, and Fayette county IL." I do not find information in my database at this time about either your gr-gr.-grandmother, Della Filora CARLOCK, or your gr.-gr.-grandfather Charles E. HICKS, but would be very much interested in any additional information that you may wish to share with regard to them or their descendants. Do you have any additional information about Della Filora CARLOCK's ancestry so that we can connect her to the rest of the CARLOCK/CEARLOCK family tree? It appears that, through my gr.-gr.-grandparents, Joseph Edward "Edward/Ed" CEARLOCK (1870 - 1935) and his wife Mary Elizabeth HICKS (1870 - 1937), I am related to you in several different ways. My line from Ed and Mary is as follows: Joseph Edward CEARLOCK and Mary Elizabeth HICKS Claude Abner CEARLOCK Voris Carney CEARLOCK Rex Duane "Duane" CEARLOCK Susan Elaine "Sue" CEARLOCK First, I am twice descended from Isaac HARRIS whom you mention. My two HARRIS lines to Ed and Mary are as follow: Isaac HARRIS Wooten HARRIS William B. HARRIS Frances Jane HARRIS Elilia B. "Emily" SEARS Mary Elizabeth HICKS who m. Joseph Edward CEARLOCK Isaac HARRIS Zachariah HARRIS Lucinda HARRIS Thursa "Thersey" RHODES James Robert "Robert" CEARLOCK Joseph Edward CEARLOCK who m. Mary Elizabeth HICKS Second, my HICKS line to Mary Elizabeth HICKS is as follows: Robert HICKS Thomas HICKS Daniel HICKS William HICKS Jacob HICKS Lewis HICKS Henry HICKS Mary Elizabeth HICKS who m. Joseph Edward CEARLOCK Third, my CARLOCK/CEARLOCK line from George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, to the above-mentioned Joseph Edward CEARLOCK is as follows. I believe, but do not yet have proof, that George was s/o David CARLOCK, Frederick CARLOCK, David GERLACH/CARLOCK, Hans GERLACH, as shown in the following report which appears on my home page: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE18-0001.html George W.

Hicks married Elizabeth Davis Jasper Marion Hicks married Sarah Caroline Herrin Charles E. Hicks married Della Filora Carlock and their daughter Florence Cecale Hicks was my g-grandmother and she married William Whitfield Garland the son of Sarah Ellen Scribner and Anthony Garland. Please forgive any errors this was typed with the help of my 2 young children. Does anyone have any of the above listed in their lines? We were told that we were of Native American descent and am curious if other Harris' were told the same and if there is any merit to it. I was told this by my family and my distant cousin who I've never met was told the same as was my half unce whom I just met this year. (Gotta love the internet) Thank you for reading my book.

Does anyone on the list use a Panasonic Printer model KX-P7100? This is a black and white printer with duplex that prints on both sides automatically. If anyone has this printer would you please contact me? Rich Boyd, Listowner

Thanks Ira. May I add my Jesse(e)'s to yours? Jesse Harris m. Lucy Ann Potts 1848 Wake County NC. They were still living in Wake County when the 1880 census was taken. They had six children living with them,including my gggrandfather,Daniel. The man that I think might be his father(I have no proof,just family stories that are vague)is Jesse(e) Harris 2d,born 1760 in NC,who was a pvt in the Rev War. Per DAR he died 1872 in Tenn. His wife's name is listed as Cynthia. When I questioned his longevity I was advised by the DAR that if I think this is an error,I should submit proper documentation proving the correct date of death. I wish I could. Keep up the good work,Ira Diane Renfrow ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ira L.

I'm seeking information about the family of my 3rd g-grandmother, Ruth Harris. She was supposedly born in 1794, and married John Setzer in Hardin County on August 20, 1818. John Setzer and family were found to live next door to Nancy Harris who was in the 16-26 age group while Ruth was in the 26-45. I'm wondering if Nancy Harris might possibly be the widow of Stephen Harris, son of John Mayhew Harris. If not, maybe someone can help me find out who Nancy Harris was and how Ruth might be placed in this large family of Harris' in Hardin County, KY. The other possibility is that Ruth was the daughter of Samuel Harris and Susannah Mayhew. Ruth and John moved to Gentry Co., MO before 1850 with John's brother, Samuel. My g-g-grandparents moved to Gentry County via Davis County, IA, arriving in Gentry County by 1858. After reading some of the entries about the Harris' family who moved to Davis County, I'm wondering if my g-g-grandmother, Nancy Ellen Setzer, might have lived near some of her Harris aunts and/or uncles before moving on to Missouri. My g-grandfather, Hiram McClure, s/o Nancy Ellen Setzer, for some reason went to Davis County in/or around 1880 when he was married there. Who did he stay with while in Davis County? Thanks, Judy

Use your edit button to search for Richmond in the following text. Please share your findings on these two brothers of Robert Harris with others--including me!! Submitted by E.W.Wallace Louisa Co. will 5-20 Film 32,191??? Find full citation for Ardery & reread her work. 4/98 FREDERICK HARRIS OF LOUISA CO., VA (d. bef Oct 1765) Brother of Benjamin Harris and Robert Harris, presumably his contemporaries in colonial Louisa Co., VA. He apparently lived in Louisa Co. It is unclear whether he is the same Frederick Harris who was a justice of Louisa Co. as late as July 1789, well after the American Revolution. Louisa Co. DB F-446-447 labels Frederick Harris and William Phillips as Justices of Louisa Co. They were granted power to take examination of Barbara Barret, wife of Robert Barret as Mrs. Barret was unable to travel to Louisa Co. court. It is stated in the will of Benjamin Harris, Trinity Parish, Louisa Co., dated 30 July 1765 and recorded 14 Oct 1765, that his brothers were Frederick Harris and Robert Harris. The latter two men plus Benjamin's wife Mary were to be executors. Witnesses were James Overton, Charles Nuckolls, and Mary Ratliff. (Louisa Co. Wills Bk 1-72 on SLC film 32,191). 1785 Louisa Co. Will Bk 1-72 "Will of Benjamin Harris of Trinity Parish. Wife Mary. 3 sons: Robert, eldest son Overton & ---. Dau: Nancy. Lands to be divided among my eldest son Overton & son Robert at death of my wife. Excrs: wife Mary Harris & two brothers: Frederick Harris & Robert Harris. Signed: Benjamin Harris. Wit: James Overton, Charles Nuckolls, Mary Ratlif. Dated 30 July 1765. Rcd 14 Oct 1765." (Nancy Chappelear & Kate Binford Hatch, ABSTRACTS OF LOUISA COUNTY WILL BOOKS , p. 13) The relationship of Frederick to Benjamin Harris is implied (not proved) in this excerpt: p. 53 [of Guardian records] Gdn. Bond. Frederick Harriss Gdn to Overton, Robert, Benjamen & Nancy Harriss Orphans of Benja. Harriss Dec'd; 2,000 pds currt. money. Sec. David Anderson & Garrett Minor. 13 Mar 1774 (Rosalie Edith Davis, WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?.... [Manchester, MO: Published by author, 1980], p. 8) Frederick, then, is one of the sons of William Harris of Hanover Co., VA. He apparently died in Louisa Co. and his will is recorded in book Louisa Co. WB 5-20. However, WB 5 reportedly begins in 1801, and it is doubtful Frederick Harris, brother of Major Robert Harris lived that long. More research is needed. (Had the probate extended that long?) Little is known of Frederick Harris of Louisa Co., VA, who owned land in Kentucky. According to abstractor Mrs. Ardery, citation below, he had at least two sons: Richard and Richmond. Frederick and his sons were associated with members of the Overton family, implying that there may have been a relationship with the family of William Harris (qv) and his wife Temperance Overton. The transactions of these three men, Frederick, Richmond and Richard are combined here. An early Kentucky land record signed by Richmond Harris: "Ky. Land Office - VA Surveys, Bk. 11, pg. 87 - Wm. B. Harris and Jas. Overton's Hrs., assee [assignee] of Wm. Steward, assee, of David Tanner, assee of Emanuel Kelly, assee of Chas. Patterson, 1800 A. part of a 2000 A. entry, part of Treasury Warrant 10694, located in Mercer Co. on Kentucky River, adjoining Isaac Winston and Ann Poage, 24 Jan 1789. Richmond Harris assigns one-half of land in within plat mentioned to James Overton, Jr., and desires to register grant accordingly. 25 Feb 1789. /s/ Richmond Harris." The author adds: "Richmond Harris was the son of Frederick Harris of Louisa Co., VA, see Franklin Co. [KY] deeds." The deeds are not included in Vol. II. From Louisa Co. DB G-422 Frederick Harris of Louisa appts son Richard Harris, his atty. in fact to convey his KY lands, 4 Mar 1794. It is doubtful Frederick Harris in this DB G of 1794 is the same as the earlier Frederick Harris, unless the power of attorney dtd 1794 was not recorded at the time of execution which may have occurred earlier. Frederick, then, had a son Richard, who was appointed attorney by not only his father but also by Richmond Harris. There were many other Harris males in Louisa Co., identities unknown. However, one suspects that they were interrelated. Other references to residents of Louisa Co. are found in these deeds or other records. Ct. Bk B, p. 98, 5 Sep 1798 [county not stated by author, but presumably Louisa Co.]: "Richmond Harris to John Overton of Fayette Co., KY, 250 A. located in Mercer Co. on South side of K[entuck]y River, consideration of $500.000. (Mrs. William Breckenridge Ardery, "Harris Notes," KENTUCKY COURT AND OTHER RECORDS [Baltimore: GPC, 1979], P. 170) Was His Wife A Terrell? From Louisa Co. deeds in the late 1740s on, we learn that a Richmond Terrell was a neighbor of the Harrises, at least a neighbor of Frederick Harris. From time to time Terrell witnessed their deeds, and they reciprocated. However, there seem to have been a father and a son of the same name. Louisa Co. DB C1/2-49, 13 Nov 1764, shows Richmond Terrell of New Kent Co., Blisland Par. "for love and affection" deeding to his son Richmond "all the lands I possess in Louisa Co. and Hanover Co." together with eight named slaves. Among the witnesses was Frederick Harris. Later, there are references to Richmond Terrell, dec'd, so that we assume that the father had died, but the younger Richmond Terrell continued to appear in the deeds from time to time. Frederick Harris, along with Garrett Minor and Z. Lewis, were executors of of one Richmond Terrill, deceased, of St. Martin's Par., Louisa Co. Whether this refers to the older Terrill or his son is not known. (DB D1/2, dated 23 Dec 1771). Because Frederick was an executor, the deduction is made that there was a close familial relationship. A Younger Frederick Harris of Louisa Co.? A marriage recorded in Louisa Co., VA indicates that a Frederick Harris had a daughter Jemima Harris. The relationship of the bride and groom to each other is unknown, and the sureties' relationships to either bride or groom is also unknown. 15 October 1789 Overton Harris and Jemima Harris, daughter of Frederick Harris. Sur. Robert Harris, Jr. and Ann O. Harris p. 46 (Kathleen Booth Williams, MARRIAGES OF LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA [1959], p 50) Question: Is this Overton Harris the son of the deceased Benjamin Harris, brother of Robert Harris and of Frederick Harris?

Good morning Harris Hunters, Does anyone have any information about the James Harris listed in the message below? My William Fielding (Fielder) Harris born 1797 in Ky might have been his son. My Grandmother was quoted as stating that her g,grandfather was a James Harris who was in the Rev. War in Pennsylvania. I have much information on William Fielding Harris but nothing about his parents. Claude A. Claude Ferguson 116 Woodhill Dr. Bedford, IN 47421 ferguson@insightbb.com http://home.insightbb.com/~ferguson/ www.spoonplayer.com Here is a list of Harrises (males, mostly, of course) who were in Nelson Co., KY in 1795. There were only a few counties in Kentucky (became a Commonwealth in 1792) in 1795, and so after that date, one has to look in adjoining counties for related Harrises. Harris surname - 1795 Kentucky - Nelson Co. only Isaac James Joseph M. John McKajah [Micajah?] Nathaniel Samuel Thomas (From TLC Genealogy, THE 1795 CENSUS OF KENTUCKY [Miami Beach: 1991], p. 77) Tax lists of Kentucky should supplement any census records you find. For one thing, tax lists are generally intact and appear every year. Check the LDS catalog to see what films may be available. You can generally determine that a male is 21 when he first appears on the tax list and is taxed for his horse. If he owns land, generally the watercourse on which the land is located is given. Then the serious researcher collects everyone on that watercourse--because they generally are related, or soon will be, through marriage! Deeds are also informative, and sometimes the indexes to these deeds (both grantor and grantee indexes) are typed and alphabetized, and easy for readers of microfilm to digest!!! Happy hunting! We Harris descendants have to help one another, particularly if they are colonial Harrises or post-Revolutionary and on the move! E.W.Wallace A.

Here is a list of Harrises (males, mostly, of course) who were in Nelson Co., KY in 1795. There were only a few counties in Kentucky (became a Commonwealth in 1792) in 1795, and so after that date, one has to look in adjoining counties for related Harrises. Harris surname - 1795 Kentucky - Nelson Co. only Isaac James Joseph M. John McKajah [Micajah?] Nathaniel Samuel Thomas (From TLC Genealogy, THE 1795 CENSUS OF KENTUCKY [Miami Beach: 1991], p. 77) Tax lists of Kentucky should supplement any census records you find. For one thing, tax lists are generally intact and appear every year. Check the LDS catalog to see what films may be available. You can generally determine that a male is 21 when he first appears on the tax list and is taxed for his horse. If he owns land, generally the watercourse on which the land is located is given. Then the serious researcher collects everyone on that watercourse--because they generally are related, or soon will be, through marriage! Deeds are also informative, and sometimes the indexes to these deeds (both grantor and grantee indexes) are typed and alphabetized, and easy for readers of microfilm to digest!!! Happy hunting!
