Ira and others, Notes I have on Tyree Harris named in will below: Tyree Rodes Harris, b. March 15, 1765 in Albemarle Co., VA., d.1841 in Garrard Co., KY. Son of Robert Harris and Lucretia Brown of Albemarle Co., VA and later Surry Co., NC. Tyree's first wife was Sophy Herd. Second wife was Rachel Brown. Christopher Harris of neighboring Madison Co., KY was Tyree's uncle. Children of this marriage were Josephine C., Greenberry, Russell A., Arabia J., Overton Dabney, and Martha Tyree (her middle name). All were born in Garrard Co., KY I believe. Children with first wife were John Wesley, Susan, Brightberry, Elizabeth, Ann, and Elijah. Thompson Harris below is not a brother of Tyree but may be related to the same family. The sources for this information is secondary so if anyone could point to some primary sources it would be appreciated. On Thu, 03 Jul 2003 09:51:40 -0500 (CDT) "Ira L.

The marriage bond for Solomon Jefferson Harris and Penelope Lewis from Garrard County, KY, belongs to my husband's great great grandparents.  We have a copy of that marriage bond. William Sublett is Solomon's stepfather. Solomon's father was Solomon Harris (married to Nancy Blackwell, daughter of Sarah Harris and David Blackwell) who died in 1805 when Solomon Jefferson was a baby.  James Harris who married Malinda Collier was Solomon Jefferson Harris's oldest brother. Malinda was the first of his four wives.  James had many, many children. James and Solomon Jefferson had a brother, Robert, who didn't marry (I don't believe) and a sister, Sally, who married Levy Parnell. James, Robert and Solomon J. Harris went to Missouri. Sally stayed in KY. Penelope's mother, Elizabeth Lewis, remarried to Jesse/Chester Agee and had four more children. Nancy Blackwell and William Sublett had five children. Liz Craven

Ira, Could the THOMPSON HARRIS/FANNY HARRIS listed have any relation to the THOMPSON, HAMPTON, FANNY HARRIS siblings that went to Georgia from North Carolina just after 1800? Are they perhaps the missing parents of this line? or maybe siblings of these parents? This line seems to always hit that brick wall at the three siblings moving to Georgia. Christine Harris Boyette HARRIS, STEWART, SCOTT, CAUSEY, WEST, URSERY MAY YOU ALWAYS WALK WITH ANGELS

Christine & Harris-Hunters, The closest match that I have to the information, is that Foster Jones and his wife Mourning Harris (daughter of Christopher & Mary (Dabney) Harris had a daughter, Frances, who married a Thompson Harris. With them being in the vicinity of Madison County, I think it might be them. I was hoping that someone would have documentation to prove or disprove this idea. Ira

Dear Researchers, I need help in identifying this Robert Harris, b. in Virginia ca 1787, m. in Madison Co., KY in 1812, had five children in Missouri, and returned to Madison Co. KY by 1850 census. According to Madison Co. marriage records, a Robert Harris m. Jael Ellison, 21 Apr 1812; Joseph Ellison, father of bride was bondsman and also gave consent. (Bill & Kathy Vockery MARRIAGES OF MADISON CO, KY ,Vol. I, 1786-1822 [Richmond, KY: Privately published, 1993], p. 37) There were two other marriages of a Robert Harris in 1814 and 1815, and they have not been properly identified by this writer.

Does anyone have any information concerning Samuel HARRIS b. 1763 in Nine Partners Patent, Dutchess Co., NY. Samuel, his wife and seven of his eight children came to live with the Shakers (The United Society of Believers) in Pleasant Hill, Mercer Co., KY in 1806 where Samuel died in 1852. According to a bible record, Samuel may have been one of the founding fathers of this Society at Pleasant Hill. I am trying to establish a connection between Samuel, his son William HARRIS and William P. HARRIS who may have been Samuel's grandson. William P. HARRIS is found in Lawrence, Richland and Clay counties Illinois between 1839 and 1888. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lynn Symeon

Dear Listers, Some Harris-Hunters are seeking the roots of some Garrard Co., Kentucky, Harrises. Garrard Co. was formed from Mercer Co., KY. Perhaps there are some clues in the following excerpts (no guarantees in genealogy): E.W.Wallace Mrs. William Breckenridge Ardery in KENTUCKY COURT AND OTHER RECORDS VOL II [Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1979], p. 170 states that Richmond Harris of Mercer Co., KY was son of Frederick Harris of Louisa Co., VA. She gives this excerpt from Kentucky records. Ky. Land Office--Va. Surveys, Bk 11, pg. 87--Wm B. Harris and Jas. Overton's Hrs., assee, of Wm. Stewart, assee of David Tanner, assee of Emanual Kelly, assee of Chas.

RICHMOND HARRIS [this writer's caps] assigns one half of land in within plat mentioned to James Overton, Jr., and desires to register grant accordingly. Feb 25, 1789. Signed Richmond Harris. Note: Richmond Harris was the son of Frederick Harris of Louisa Co., VA, see Franklin Co. [KY] Deeds.
