Tyre (Tyree or Tyra) Harris TimeLine There are at least two Tyre Harriss in Kentucky during this time frame. One in Nelson Co., KY and the other in Madison and Garrard Counties, KY. I am try to follow the Tyre Harris in Nelson County because I find him and his wife Susanna in Sullivan County, Indiana in 1820s. The reason I am following Tyre Harris is that I am speculating that he is related to Benjamin Harris, my direct line (1776-1848, DNA Group 2). If anyone can shed light on this Tyre Harris please feel free to shine forth.

Harris as published in the Sullivan County Historical Society, Inc. Volume 35, No. 3, March 2011, pages 37-38. The land in which the church cemetery was founded was deeded by Tyre Harris one of the first members and was purchased in 1826. The old, yellow with age deed which was made at the county capitol, then at Merom is in the possession of the present clerk, Miss Ethel Thompson, Also all of the church records, a great number of which especially the early ones, being written in a clear legible hand with goose-quill pen. The language is clear and to the point the spelling a little different in some instances. Tyre Harris and Wm B. Eldridge (paternal grandfathers of Jennie Eldridge DeVol) did the preaching from 1821 to 1824. The founders of the church were as follows: Tyre Harris, Susannah, John Hadges, Polly Morgan, Mary Hill, Elizabeth Anderson, Robert Anderson, Betsy Morgan, Sarah Eldridge, Patience Cummins. Little Flock Baptist Church 1821 The church originally met in a log building in 1826, a frame building 1846, and a third structure in 1871. The following was copied on December 27, 2011 at the Sullivan County Library The following is a summary of papers on Little Flock Baptist Church. 1 ½ acres of land bought for $50 from Tyre Harris & Susanna his wife on 29 July 1826.

The Sullivan Co. Courthouse burned in 1850 and so there are no will and probate records prior to 1850. Sullivan has good cemetery records and I have not found either Tyre or Susanna listed as buried in Sullivan County. Thanks for any help you can provide. Randall Harris
Dead end for me. My 7th GGrandfather was George Harris. He lived on the upper coast of North Carolind in the late 1600s and early 1700s. He is mentioned in land patents, deeds, wills, court records, and various other documents dated in the 1690s. I can't find how he got to Pasquotank County NC (used to be a part of Albemarle County NC) . I would appreciate information that anyone else may have found on George. Thanks, Dennis Harris
This is in partial reply to the query cited below. According to Dr. George K. Schweitzer's little book [packable in a ziplock bag in your suitcase] North Carolina Genealogical Research [Knoxville, TN: Published by author, 1984] Pasquotank County County seat: Elizabeth City formed in 1670 from Albemarle County, court house fire in 1862, many early records missing, cause not known.... but then Dr. S lists documents which are available with dates, many of the dates very early. But there may not be a consistent run. What films does Family History Library in Salt Lake City have for this county? Also search familysearch.wiki for guidance on doing NC research. According to Mrs. Helen Leary [Ms. North Carolinia genealogist, I label her], whose lecture I heard a couple of decades ago, most North Carolinians came from Virginia because the barrier islands off the coast of NCpreclude a lot of ships from coming in from the Atlantic. (A lot of my folks clustered around the Knap of Reeds area, Tar River area, Granville Co. NC, came from Surry Co., VA--and look in Isle of Wight Co. VA also. One expert from Salt Lake city says, If you are researching in Virginia, search ALL the counties. One might say that of North Carolina also. (The Library of Virginia has a website--go down the alpha index to L and look for Land patents--the part that includes Northern Neck land patents. The oldest patents will be at the very end of the list--with 21st century patents being at the top of the list.) This info may not help you, but the U of NC has digitized the MANY volumes of the North Carolina State and Colonial Papers, and some volumes I have read (hard copies which disappeared from my favorite research center) had lists of land owners. There are are all sorts of papers, many official documents between government officials, but once in a while a *commoner* appears in the lists. Why don't you contact the Pasquotank-Camden Library in Elizabeth City and see who can help you [a genealogical society, for example] solve your problem. Burned courthouses are a problem for many of us!!! Ask if there is a GenForum for that county.

Hello all, I have not posted to the list in a while and wanted to share my lines for those who may be new to the List. I have 2 HARRIS lines and at this time have made no connection between the two. First HARRIS line: Me, My father, My grandfather, Great-grandparents: Edward Harris GIBBS, b. 1849, Hancock Co., KY; d. 1926, Spencer Co., IN + Ella Catherine GAYNOR, b. 1866, Hancock Co., KY; d. 1942, Spencer Co., IN m. 10 Aug, 1882, Hancock Co., KY GG-grandparents: Thomas Newman GIBBS, b. 1802, Loudoun Co., VA; d. 1876, Hancock Co., KY + Eliza Isabella HARRIS, b. 1815, KY; d. 1880, Hancock Co. KY [3rd wife] m. 30 Sep, 1841, Hancock Co., KY 1880 Mortality Sched. states her father b. Massachusetts; mother b. Virginia 3G-grandparents: Edward HARRIS, Jr., b. 1768, Newburyport, Essex Co, MA; d. ca. 1824, Washington, Mason Co., KY + Elizabeth CAMPBELL, b. ca. 1780, possibly Augusta Co., VA; d. prob. Mason Co., KY; dau. of Robert Campbell & Rebecca Wallace (both prob. d. Mason Co., KY) m. 7 Jun, 1799, Mason Co., KY 4G-grandparents: Edward HARRIS, Sr., b. 1739, Newbury, Essex Co., MA; d. ca. 1824, Washington, Mason Co., KY + Abigail ATKIN m. 29 Oct. 1765, Newburyport, Essex Co., MA 5G-grandparents: Samuel HARRIS, b. 9 Apr, 1695, Ipswich, MA (maybe); d. 1757 + Abigail PRESBURY, d. Jan. 1801, Newburyport, Essex Co., MA m. 1 Feb, 1738, Newbury, Essex Co., MA I am reasonably certain of my data up to this point. What I am less sure of is the next generation. Some have the parents of my Samuel HARRIS as: Sergt. John HARRIS, b. 1652, Ipswich, Essex Co., MA; d. 1732, Ipswich, Essex Co., MA + Grace SEARLE, b. 1742, Ipswich, Essex Co., MA I am not sure if Sergt.John & Grace (Searle) HARRIS are the parents of my Samuel HARRIS. This is what I have in my Notes: "There is further research needed on this Samuel. I am sure that Edward Harris, Sr's parents were Samuel and Abigail (Presbury) HARRIS; however, I am not sure that their son Samuel was b. 9 Apr. 1695, in Ipswich. MA, nor am I sure that this Samuel's father was Sergt. John. I am sure that Sergt. John had a son, Samuel, who was b. 9 Apr. 1695 in Ipswich since there is a vital record of that - but is he "my" Samuel? There is a court record for the marriage of John HARRIS and Grace SEARLE on Jan. 8, 1685 in Ipswich." ...end notes There are two publications that I relied on in the research of this line: 1. JOHNSTON, William Preston, 'Edward Harris and His Ancestors; 1634-1820', Pub. 1899 2. DAVIS, Walter Goodwin, 'The Ancestry of Bethia Harris .. ' ... and, guess what - there are discrepancies between the two. I don't know which one is right. I do not personally know of any living male descendants of Edward HARRIS, Jr. but I do know that Eliza Isabella (Harris) GIBBS had a brother - Alfred Wallace Rutherford HARRIS (1803 - 1880). He lived in Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY from 1830 - 1880 (Census data). He had 5 sons that I know of: 1. William M. (b. abt 1838), 2. Charles H. (b. abt. 1839), Charles H. had two sons that I know of: 2.1. Wallace R. (b. abt. 1875), 2.2. Charles Jacob (1879- 1931; b & d Louisville, bur. Cave Hill Cem.) Charles Jacob had one son that I know of: 2.2.1. Charles J., Jr. (b, abt. 1916, prob. Lville, Jefferson Co., KY) 3. Alfred Wallace (1842 - 1926, bur. Cave Hill Cem. Louisville) - applied & accepted to Sons of Am. Rev. on the service record of Edward HARRIS, Sr., 4. Henry W. (b. abt. 1843), 5. (Dr.) John E. (b. abt. 1847) That ends my descendant information for Alfred W.R. HARRIS (1803-1880). Second HARRIS line: Me, My father, My grandfather, Edward Harris GIBBS, see above, Thomas Newman GIBBS, see above, John Harris GIBBS, b. 1775, Loudoun Co., VA; d. 1847, Hancock Co., KY +Nancy E. SORRELL] James Lewin GIBBS, b. 1750, Prince George's Co., MD; d. ca. 1822, prob. Loudoun Co., VA +Jane TURLEY m. 1769 James GIBBS, Jr.; b. 1709, Prince George's Co., MD; d. 1764, VA + Ann FENLEY; b. 1715, d. 1776, Prince George's Co., MD m. 1736 6G-grandparents: Charles FENLY, b. 1689, Calvert Co., MD, d. 1744 + Elizabeth HARRIS; b. 1693, Talbot Co., MD m. 11 Apr 1711 (MD, possibly Prince George's Co.) George HARRIS (uncertain, source: FTM User Tree: The Finleys of Scott County Indiana) I know very little about Elizabeth HARRIS who married Charles FENLY (various spellings) and nothing about her supposed father, George. If anyone sees a connection for either of these lines with a known Harris DNA Group, please let me know. Happy to share what I have with anyone interested in these Harrises.

Elijah Harris and his wife Nancy Lee were Pat (Morefield) Seaver’s and my GGGG Grandparents. Elijah’s parents and grandparents William and Elizabeth Harris were Elijah’s parents. William was probably born ~1735 in Amelia Co, VA and died before 1815 in Patrick Co, VA. William reached adulthood in Amelia Co, living in the household of his parents, John and Susannah (Wingo) Harris, who most likely had additional children, including, John, James and Rhoda (who married Abraham Vasser). This Harris family lived in northwestern Amelia Co between Flatt Creek and the Appomattox River near the southeastern border of Prince Edward Co. The area is rural, with pretty rolling hills bordered by small forests. The last major battle of the Civil War was fought at Saylor’s Creek, not far from where they lived. William Harris married Elizabeth sometime before 1768 in Amelia Co, VA. Elizabeth’s parents and maiden name are unknown. (Pat Seaver and I considered, and then rejected, Benjamin Hendricks and Isaac Morris as potential fathers). Elizabeth was born before 1748 and died after 1818. William did not start buying land until he moved to Halifax Co, VA in 1778. By the time he and Elizabeth settled on their own land in the Difficult Creek area of Halifax Co, they already had at least three children: Barnard/Barnet born in 1768, Tabitha born ~ 1770, and Elijah born after 1774. From later census records, we believe that there may have been two additional sons and a daughter born Halifax Co, including a son Obediah born in 1782 and died in 1813 in either Stokes Co, NC or Patrick Co, VA. Elijah Harris’ childhood Elijah grew up in the northeast part of Halifax Co on Difficult Creek. At least part of the Difficult Creek area is now a Natural Preserve. It was open and grassy with scattered pines and hardwoods. By 1768, Elijah and his siblings began to marry the children of neighboring families in Halifax Co: Barnard/Barnet Harris married Anne Askew on Dec 3, 1786. Both sets of parents consented to the marriage, as the bride and groom were underage (18 and 16, respectively). Anne was the daughter of Daniel and Rachel Askew. Barnard and Anne probably had at least two daughters (Jane and Leony). They divorced by 1796 and both remarried. It seems the divorce was reasonably amicable, as they and their extended families eventually settled on Russell Creek in Patrick Co and continued to interact with and live near each other. On June 20, 1796, Barnard married Mary/Polly Smallman. She was born before 1775 and died 1828, the daughter of John Smallman who was another Halifax Co neighbor. They moved to Stokes Co, NC where Barnard’s household was enumerated next to that of his father in the 1800 census. Two boys and a girl under 10 and two girls between 10 and 16 were listed in Barnard’s household. The younger girl was probably their daughter, Elizabeth who later had a son out of wedlock whom she named William Barnet Harris, after her grandfather and father. Elizabeth’s son was most likely the male 0-10 listed in Barnard’s household in the 1820 census and was named along with Mary/Polly and Elizabeth in Barnard’s 1827 will. Were the two older girls in the 1800 census Barnard’s daughters by his first wife? Who were the young boys in Barnard’s household in 1800? Was one of them Obediah? Was the other an unknown son who was listed again in Barnard’s household in 1820? If so, he must have pre-deceased Barnard, as he was not named in his 1827 will. Tabitha Harris married Josiah Tuck on Dec 22 1790. Josiah was born in 1760 in Halifax Co, VA, most likely the son of Edward Tuck, Sr and Susannah Nash. Josiah was a soldier in the American Revolution from 1777-1780. In 1794, he bonded the marriage of Tabitha’s brother, Elijah to Nancy Lee. By 1795, he became the first of many Tucks to settle in Georgia. His military service allowed him two draws in the Oglethorpe Co, GA land lottery, He and Tabitha lived in Oglethorpe Co until the 1820s and then moved to Wilkes Co, GA where they remained for the remainder of their long lives. They had at least 8 children before 1815 who lived to adulthood: Claiborne, Sarah, Tabitha C, Benjamin, Mary, Martha Ann, Susannah, and Nancy. Josiah named most of his children (and their spouses, in some cases) in his 1844 will. The Tuck family continued to interact with this Harris family; some of them settled near the family of Elijah’s son Joseph in Missouri and intermarried with that of his grandson James. Elijah Harris married Nancy Lee, the daughter of William Lee (who consented to their marriage) on Jan 20, 1874. Nancy was born ~1775 in Halifax Co, VA. Their families lived near each other in Halifax Co and moved to Patrick Co, VA at about the same time, both settling on Russell Creek. Elijah and Nancy had most of their children in Halifax Co, VA. I wonder if they did not move to Stokes Co, NC with Elijah’s father and brother (before everyone moved to Patrick Co) because they had a houseful of toddlers: Prudence born ~1797, Claiborne ~1798, Joseph in 1803, Mary/Polly before 1804, and Martha in 1807. Elijah and Nancy moved to the Russell Creek area of Patrick Co, VA before 1810. Patrick Co is located in the on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains not far from the North Carolina border. The Russell Creek area is in the southeast part of the county. It is possible that Elijah and Nancy had another son, Thomas, born in Patrick Co between 1810 and 1820. Obediah Harris did not marry as far as we know. He died in Stokes Co, NC or Patrick Co, VA in 1813; his name was in Stokes Co records in 1813 but Barnard Harris inventoried his estate (consisting of a horse and indigo) in Patrick Co, VA in 1814. (It is also possible, but less likely, that Obediah was Barnard’s son rather than his brother). Elijah and Nancy Harris’ Children Elijah’s and Nancy’s children began to marry in Patrick Co by 1812. Brett Stovall officiated at a number of these marriages and Elijah often served as bondsman: Tabitha Harris married James Owens in 1815 with Elijah posting bond. He was born between 1794-1797, son of either David or Solomon Owen. He was probably not the son of Joseph and Phoebe (Staples) Owen. Tabitha and James established their own household in Patrick Co, VA and had at least four children between 1819 and 1830. Tabitha and her children probably moved to Tennessee with Elijah and Nancy before 1830. It isn’t clear what became of James Owen. Tabitha and her youngest daughter Elizabeth ended up living with the family of her son William Owen in Wilson, Co. Claiborne Harris married Elizabeth Blanks in 1819 in Patrick Co, VA. I don’t know anything about Elizabeth’s family although I believe she was born ~1793 in Rockingham Co, NC and was most likely related to Thompson Blanks who married Claiborne’s sister Mary/Polly. Claiborne and Elizabeth remained in Patrick Co for a few years after their marriage and then moved to Rutherford Co, TN. By 1930, they two sons and a daughter: John Lee, George Washington, and an unknown girl. A fourth son, William J, may have been born in 1930 after the census was taken. Elizabeth died in the early 1830s and Claiborne married again on Aug 19 1835. He and his 2nd wife, Mary Summar had six more children between 1838 and 1850, most or all of whom were born in Wilson Co, TN: Parthena, James, Martha P, Nancy R, Mary Jane, and Samuel Houston. Mary Summar was born ~1812 in NC. She was the daughter of Alexander Summar and part of the large Summar famly that moved to TN from NC. Claiborne died after 1850 and left no will. Mary moved to Cannon Co with her younger children and DID leave a will making it a little easier to sort out this family. Robert Harris, whose yDNA places him in Group 30 descends from Claiborne through his son Samuel Houston Harris. Prudence Harris married Peter Cassady on Mar 1, 1819 in Patrick Co, VA with Elijah posting bond. Peter was born in 1796, also in Halifax Co, although we have been unable to figure out which family was his. He may have been related to the Polly Cassady who married Nancy (Lee) Harris’ brother William Lee Jr. After their marriage Peter and Prudence lived near Barnard Harris in Patrick Co for several years. The first four of their children (Mary AE, Daniel Leftridge, Ruth E and Lucinda) were born there between 1820 and 1830 By 1834, they moved to Edgar Co, IL where they had two additional sons, John B and Peter. They remained in Edgar Co until their deaths (Prudence before and Peter after 1860). Mary/Polly Harris 1822 marriage to Thompson Blanks was bonded by Elijah Harris and performed by the same minister who married others in the family. It is possible that Thompson was related to Elizabeth Blanks, first wife of Mary/Polly’s brother Claiborne. Thompson and Mary/Polly Blanks probably had three childrenin the early to mid 1820s: Mary Ann who married Claiborne Owen, William M who married Winnie Artelia Summar and Julianne who married John C Leech. All three children eventually moved to the Sanders Fork area of Cannon Co, TN near their grandparents Elijah and Nancy Harris. I’ve found no trace of either Mary/Polly or Thompson after the 1830 census. Joseph/Josiah Harris married Nancy Morefield on Dec 8, 1824 in Patrick Co. Nancy’s brother Allen and Joseph’s father Elijah witnessed their marriage. Her headstone gives her birthdate as Feb 10, 1801 but that is inconsistent with the fact that her mother gave her consent to the marriage. Her parents were William and Rebecca (Stevens) Morefield of Halifax Co, VA and her brother Allen married Joseph’s sister Martha. Joseph, Nancy, and their family moved to Rhea Co, TN at some point in the late 1820s or early 1830s. Joseph died or disappeared by 1840 leaving his widow to move to Cedar Co, MO in the late 1840s with 9 children (William Henry, Rebecca, Robert M, Mary Jane, Thomas Co, Sarah Ann, Eveline, George Washington, and David) and their extended families. There is some question about whether Joseph fathered the three youngest of the children that Nancy brought with her to Missouri from Tennessee (George, Evelyn and David). Family stories heard in Cedar Co, MO and a notation on George’s death certificate suggest that these three children were, in fact, the orphans of a Thomas Harris. Could this have been Joseph’s hypothetical son Thomas? On the other hand, it seems unlikely that a widow, with 6 children of her own would take on three orphaned children. A mystery yet to be solved. Martha Harris was the last child to be born in Halifax Co and the last to marry. She married Allen Morefield in Patrick Co, VA on Mar 16, 1825 with Elijah posting bond. Allen was born in 1802 in Halifax Co. He was brother of Nancy and son of the same William and Rebecca Morefield. Martha and Allen Morefield settled in the Snow Creek district of Stokes Co, NC. After the Civil War, they moved to Scott Co, VA and then south to Hawkins Co, TN. They had 11 children: Henderson, Lucinda, Josiah Joseph, William H, Martha J., Nancy, Elijah, Mary J, Jackson (John) and Sarah A. Sandra (Harris) Hart and Patricia (Moorefield) Seaver, researchers for the Harris, Lee and Morefield families descend from Joseph and Martha Harris respectively; two Harris DNA Group 30 donors, Randall Rogers Harris and Stanley Russell Harris, descend from Joseph. Thomas Harris. It is likely that Elijah and Nancy had one more son in Patrick Co, Thomas. He may have followed his brother Joseph to Rhea Co, TN and/or moved to Wilson Co, TN with his father (Elijah sold land on Sanders Fork to a Thomas Harris in 1833, but did not name him in his will. Move to Tennessee Between 1828 and 1830, Elijah and Nancy sold their land in Patrick Co, VA and relocated to Wilson Co, TN On Sept 17, 1830, Elijah bought land on Smith Creek, a tributary of Sanders Fork (the deed was entered as Harais). He and Nancy settled near the part of Rutherford that became Cannon Co. Elijah followed his eldest son, Claiborne, who was the first to move from Virginia to Tennessee. Elijah and Nancy remained in Wilson County until their deaths in the 1840s. Elijah died in 1841, leaving a short will (that is nearly illegible) in which he left his land on Sanders Fork (Luck Creek ?) to Claiborne who had already moved to an adjacent farm. Elijah didn’t name any of his children in his will except Claiborne and a P. Harris who is thought to be Claiborne’s oldest daughter, Parthena. He referred instead to “my other children”. DNA Project In 2008, several male descendants of Elijah Harris submitted their DNA to the Harris-Hunters yDNA Project on Family Finder. They were tentatively placed in the group that descends from a Samuel Harris, also of Patrick Co (Group 12). However a new group was formed (Group 30) when DNA from a third descendant of Elijah was submitted. A number of other donors have been placed in Group 30 since then, but we have been unsuccessful in finding a solid paper trail we can agree on to connect them. One approach we have taken to figure out how everyone is related is for some of the female descendants to provide their DNA to come at the problem through autosomal DNA. Although we (distantly) match each other and have many matches in common, we haven’t solved that puzzle. The male lines of descent back to Elijah for the three DNA donors are: 1. Randall Rogers Harris < Don Ralph Harris < Ralph Hugho Harris < James Madison Harris < William Henry Harris < Joseph Harris < Elijah Harris 2. Stanley Russell Harris < Stanley M Harris < Reed Taylor Harris < James Madison Harris < William Henry Harris < Joseph Harris < Elijah Harris 3. Robert E Harris < Homer Bragg Harris < Robert H Harris < Samuel Houston Harris < Claiborne Harris < Elijah Harris In two following posts, I will provide some of the land transactions and the trail of tax and census records that helped Pat (Morefield) Seaver and I to piece together our shared family tree.

Hi Thanks for catching me up! Actually, I recently have been working with a distant cousin who lives in Henrico and in passing things along to her, I came across your posting of over a year ago. I had an "ah ha" moment when I rediscovered it. She is now beginning searching in Louisa Co and at the Library of VA and Job Harris is on her list, thanks to you.

Paula, I'm catching up on the last several months of Harris Hunter postings and after seeing your post, I realized that you may have missed the research I posted here 2 Jan 2011 concerning information from the Louisa Co VA Personal Property Tax Lists (and more) that indicates your Nathaniel Harris b.1763 may be the son of Job Harris Sr. Here's the link to my previous post: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/HARRIS-HUNTERS/2011-01/1294036040 I can add that I find Nathaniel Harris last appears on the Louisa Co list in 1802 and first appears on the Washington Co. VA Personal Property Tax list in 1803. Hope this helps! Christine Schomaker

Hi, all, Sorry, had to take nearly a week off to contribute to a project for my retiring boss (yes, this is stressful in the extreme; new boss, new mindset---who knows what is in the future for me?) Also, I have to purchase new books in order to comprehend where Benjamin, the son of William & Temperance Overton Harris' children were and where they all ended up. That might take a couple of weeks? Still working on it all. But I will post more on this line of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris as I can accumulate all of it. Pam
