Pam, thank you for including some of the Mendenhall family in your post. These Mendenhalls show up in several Family Finders crossing some Harris lines Charity Beeson d/o Richard Beeson/Charity Grubb was the wife of Mordechai Mendenhall. John Chipman was from Delaware and moved to NC in the company of a group of Nicholites of the DE/MD border areas. This was a religious movement conceived in the area of Kent DE which followed Quaker concepts, only more so. You can Google Nicholites and read about them. Pat Harris .

I still don't know where Obediah & Rebecca's eldest son was at that time, but I do know that their son, Benjamin 1764-1850) was not in either Surry Co. or Guilford Co., NC. However, I did find two of Obediah's daughters' families, and have put the additional information into the family records. I realize that few persons on this list may be interested in the Mendenhall lineage coming into this Harris line, so I will just state that there is clear proof that Mordecai & Charity Mendenhall, a newly-married couple, moved from Pennsylvania to the Hopewell Monthly Meeting in Virginia in 1736, and were granted a certificate with their family to North Carolina in 1756. Their oldest child was Richard Mendenhall, b. 1737, and who was "LOST" in 1773, whose wife was Jane. A younger son of Mordecai & Charity was Stephen, the father of Maris Mendenhall, who was the first wife of Obediah Harris Jr./II.

I am unsure this cut and paste will transfer well.  However, those of us who research HARRISES of colonial Virginia recognize the name Benjamin Brown.  See subsequent e-mail re Renja.

Go to the digitized NC colonial and state papers, Vol. 5 and see if you can cut and paste the tithable for Virginia's additional counties.  My computer is acting up and will not let me paste!!!  (Maybe Apple is suing yahoo!) E.W.Wallace

Some of us with colonial Virginia Harrises (and allied families) may be able to use these figures, which I located on the digitized North Carolina Colonial and State Papers.  Access to the digitized 26 (?) volumes is free. Yo may just get lucky and find some ancestors in one or more of these hefty volumes.  This VA county tithable list is in Vol. 5 of subject series of books.  (Google for NC colonial & state papers--only spell out NC--just to be sure!)  My Harrises had some roots in colonial Hanover Co.,VA most of which official records burned when Richmond was evacuated by the Confederates at the end of the Civil War.  However, on a database called HeritageQuest carried by some public libraries, you will find a book by Charles Chamberlayne called Vestry Book of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County 1707-1786, published in Richmond in 1940.  Ask your librarian about HeritageQuest.  Your State Library may have HeritageQuest.  (Also, search google books as well as catalog for your State Library.) This tithable list for Virginia counties is dated 1756.  Louisa Co., formed from Hanover Co., had many of its records intact.  However, the compiler of many Louisa records of early date Rosalie Edith Davis, Manchester, MO, has recently become disabled (or worse, has died) and I cannot find a suitable URL for her successor.  Unfortunately, the Family History Library does not have her  books  The Library of Virginia has many of her paperbound books.  For a fee, they probably would send you copies of the indexes of the various volumes. (Check your state and state university library catalogs.  Be persistent. Some of these counties formed new counties.  That is why Arlene Eakle, PhD, states, If you are researching in Virginia, research ALL the counties.  They kept forming new counties!!! I rely heavily on the VA land patents, which are now on line at the Library of Virginia website [google for it].  Look on the alpha index for Land Patents which includes the words Northern Neck Land Grants (the Fairfax proprietary).  You will find the colonial Harrises in Virginia at the end of the line.  VA is still granting land patents in the 21st century!!!  Those *newbie* land owners will appear first.

Dear Diane Holmes,  If your Harrises were in Albemarle Co.,formed 1744 from Goochland and Louisa Cos., VA can you give some approximate dates?  My Christopher Harris, son of Major Robert Harris, surveyor of colonial Louisa Co., was in the process of moving ca 1787 to Madison Co., KY.  However, I am fairly certain that he left behind (maybe the eldest) a son named John Harris who became his executor in Albemarle Co.  If you have access to the digitized database HeritageQuest through your local (or State) library system, you can find The Boone Family by Hazel Spraker.  Toward the back of the book are related families and there is a list of Christopher's children (19 if I remember correctly) by two wives.  The first wife is said to be Mary Dabney (can be conjectured from the will which mentions Cornelius Dabney) and the second wife was Agnes McCord--one of those Scotch-Irish persons from Pennsylvania who settled in Augusta Co, VA.  Some McCords were later in Albemarle Co.  Evelyn W.Wallace ________________________________ From: Diane Holmes <holmes-diane@att.net> To: harris-hunters@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 5:29 AM Subject: Re: [HARRIS-HUNTERS] Major William Harris Mary June,     No my group is 7.

Thank you, Sandy Elizabeth Foote's husband is not mentioned by name; however Joshua, James and Ephraim all sit together in a census, and we know James married Milly Foote and Ephraim married Margaret.

I used info I'd been given by someone in Group 8 when identifying parents for Elhraim yesterday, but now believe that was in error. See a piece of the will below written by the father of the three Foote girls who married the Harris men: WILL of William Foote, D. 21 Apr 1829, Prb. 21 Aug 1834. "Of Surry County". Sons: Henry & William share tract I live on. My son John Having had his part of land. ****************************Betsy Harris's part to her son Ephraim D. Harris at her death.... Execs: Sons Henry & Ephraim. Source: Iredell County, North Carolina Will Abstracts 1788-1845, By Schneider, p. 91. NOTE: Ephraim D was identified in his grandfathers will as 's s/o Betsy (Elizabeth). I think I remember from a posting the other day that she was the wife of a Joshua or Josiaha Harris NOT Ephraim (who married Betsy's sister, Margaret)

Thanks Pat I know that Group 6 & Group 8 both have relatives in Surry County, NC. There are probably relatives from other groups in the county also. That's part of the "wonderfulness" of being a Harris!

Was Fletcher Asbury also a popular name of the time? I ask because H.A.T. Harris (son of Lewis) named another of his sons that exact same name. Fletcher Asbury Harris. Unfortunately DNA will probably not help in my case - my Harris line daughtered out in the generation after H.A.T.'s sons Ephraim Drake Harris and Fletcher Asbury Harris. I will continue the search for a family for my Lewis Harris. :) Thanks for your help!
