Hi, Holly. For some reason the Vermont Harrises (except for Uriah & descendants, to whom my branch is apparently unconnected ) seem particularly elusive. Wishing you good luck on your quest, I'd like to ask if anyone has unearthed any info. on Amos Harris (born in Vermont in 1809; married Polly or Sally Phelps in 1838). It's possible that Amos is related to Joel Harris, listed in the 1830 census in Milton, VT., but a connection is hard to establish. (Joel may be the same person who migrated to Stowe, VT., in 1794, and then moved to VT later). Any leads will be extremely welcome. Thanks. --Steve Harris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Holly Jagger" <hjagger@pronetisp.net> To: <HARRIS-HUNTERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 8:06 PM Subject: [HH] Harris in Vermont > Looking for a Harris who migrated to northeastern PA by or before 1798, > had a son WILLIAM b. 1798 PA.

While searching through "They Lived in Somerset" I found reference to a Harris family. Knowing that the issue of Kent Island and William Claiborne was a huge issue between VA and MD, and knowing that William Harris was affiliated with Claiborne, I wondered if there were any links to the Harrises.

Does anyone know if there are any Deed Books or Marriage Records on line and if so how does one go about getting to them. Almost everywhere I have tried wants your credit card number so that they can sell information. Have any of the records for various states (especially North Carolina and Virginia) been put onto the internet. I did run across some census records but don't remember how I got to them. I am more interested in marriage records in the 1780-85 time frame. and deeds betewwn 1780 and 1800. Thanks for any help anyone can give. Sarah

Hi. Was wondering if anyone knows any relations among any of the Harrises listed here in the Federal Census of Vermont in 1790/1791 (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~confido/hh1790.html). and anything about their ancestors and descendents. Know that Uriah Harris's children were Stephen, Uriah Junior, and Leban Harris and that am not descended from that line but my third great grandfather Amos Harris was born in Vermont in 1809 and his wife Polly Phelps was born in Milton, Vt in 1811. Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks. Geoff Harris's in the 1790(1791) Fed Census of VT.

YEAR OF 1903 Two years before my mother was born! This ought to boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1903...one hundred years ago. what a difference a century makes! Here are some of the U.S. statistics for 1903: The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years. Only 14 Percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars. There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st-most populous state in the Union. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents an hour. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home. Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee cost fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason. The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30. Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. One in 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and the bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time servant or domestic. There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S. ...

Dear Harris Hunters, Did John Franklin Harris, son of Overton Harris [d. ca 1827 Madison Co., KY] and his wife Nancy Oldham, have any heirs? If so, what are their names? Question 2: What is the relationship, if any, of Napoleon Tevis? Submitted by E.W.Wallace Here are some notes I have gathered over the years: JOHN FRANKLIN HARRIS. (b. ca 1811-death date prior to May 1842) Son of Overton Harris and Nancy Oldham of Madison Co., KY. (Overton died testate ca 1827) Grantor indexes of Madison Co. (DB X-205 dated Oct 16, 1837) indicate he later may have been called Franklin and he may have had a wife Katherine. He probably died intestate, as there was an administration as indicated by these probate and administration records of Madison Co., KY (FHL film 183269) pp. 82-83 J. F. Harris admr Settlement [in margin] 2nd day of May 1842 Being called upon by Christopher Harris and Napoleon G. Tevis administrators of John F. Harris decd to state & settle their accounts as such we have appointed this day at the office of R. Runyon in Richmond to perform that duty. [end of statement] By 1839, there is a notation in the Madison Co., kY grantor deeds that the heirs of John F. have joined other heirs of Overton Harris (their father) in selling property, a lot in Richmond to Thomas G. Little. It appears that John F. was now deceased. More research is needed. Bill and Kathy Vockery in CEMETERY RECORDS OF MADISON COUNTY [KENTUCKY], Vol. 1, Northern Section, p. 52, show John F. Harris is buried in the Overton Harris Cemetery and that he was born 1811, but his death date is not given. The Vockerys indicate (as may the gravestone) that he was the eldest son of Overton & Nancy Harris. However, there is also a gravesite for a Harris daughter born 1811. Does this signify that John Franklin was a twin? Or was he born later in the year than the unnamed daughter? John Franklin seems to have reached adulthood as indicated by a couple of marriage bonds in Madison Co. John Franklin seemed to be bondsman for one or two marriages in Madison Co. KY: for his sister Elizabeth and for his brother Solon M. Jul 1837. Whether he himself was married is unknown, but he may have been married to a woman named Katherine. Tevis, Joseph H. & Elizabeth Harris; 17 Aug 1829; John Franklin Harris, bondsman; Nancy Harris, mother of bride. (Was he an underage bondsman, or was he born before his parents were married in 1810? If born in 1811, the year after the parents' marriage, he would have been age 21 in 1832 and not in 1829. His father had recently died, however, and he may have been acting in the capacity of an older man.) Harris, Solon M. & Sally Ann Miller 25 July 1837. Robert Miller gave consent, but his relationship to the bride is unknown. Solon Harris was John Franklin's brother. Your responses will be appreciated. E.W.Wallace descendant of John Franklin's younger sister Carlisle [wife of Michael Lowery Stoner]

Ann, I was curious about the names (Albert and Henry) since I recall that your ancestors originally came from Green or Pickens County, AL. (Hope my memory was right.)The genealogy library was closed today because of snow. That's also why I'm home from work with not much to do. I looked at the BLM web site that contains the land patents and found one Harris name (Richard Harris) who apparently bought property in Lauderdale County, MS. His patent identified his residence as Sumter County, AL. I also have a few notes that I took of Probate Records from Sumter County (I can't remember the exact dates; circa 1850 - 1870. His probate record was listed but none of his children happened to be named Albert or Henry. The record identified that he had a married daughter whose residence was Lauderdale C., MS. Another resident of Sumter C., Elizabeth M Harris died in Lauderdale Springs about 1875. I found 2 other Sumter County men whose probate records named children, none of which were named Henry or Albert. You probably are familiar with another of the infamous settlers in the area: John Harris, who had a son named Norfleet, named executor of his fathers estate. The record named his brothers including Henry H Harris and John Harris. It would seem as though a couple of the important names among the Sumter County families were John and Henry. (Albert was also a Sumter County name.) I haven't done enough research in this area to understand the family groups. I found the probate records confusing to say the least but was surprised that there were ties among these folks to Lauderdale County, MS. Kristina Harris

Ann, You didn't mention whether you knew when the family originally settled in Mississippi or whether there were any Harris families in Lauderdale County in 1840. If he married in 1843 then chances are the family was in the area pretty early. Have you gone back and analyzed their 1850 Lauderdale census pages with the 1840 and 1830 census. Start with the actual census page - not just the index or computerized versions of the census. I write down every single person who was listed within a page and a half of my ancestor and then go back and find each person who was old enough to have been included on the 1830 & 1840 census. I was particularly interested in households that showed property ownership and noticed that these early "neighborhoods" didn't change much. In some cases, county lines changes between census's and I found out where they originally lived and the most logical place to search for their records. I also took this a step further and identified exactly who they were living by section, township and range. I identified the earliest settlers who patented land in the same section and township where my ancestor lived; using the logic that families traveled together, I came to the conclusion that following these original settlers back in time might get me a little closer to my own family. Well, it hasn't exactly worked the way I hoped but I have learned some interesting things. In particular, I was interested in 2 men who wrote affidavits for my ggg grandmother in her BLM land entry file. At least one of them traced back to Pendleton County, SC. Several other early (Jefferson County, AL) Harris families originated from there so it seems likely that at least part of my family may have come from that area. I always hate to make suggestions in case you are like me and spend hours and hours poring over census records trying to discern trends and migration patterns ...
