I have been reviewing the information on the Sherwood Harris that died in Anson County N. C. in 1805 and who supposedly had 3 or maybe two wives. What proof is there that he was born in 1733? Is there a tombstone in Anson Co. that says that, a family Bible? or is this just someone's supposition from perhaps a census that they surmise is the same Sherwood who died in 1805? Does anyone know for sure what DNA group he is in? Since my Claiborne Harris was in Anson Co. and also in Marshall Co. MS where there was a Sherwood who is thought to be the son of this Sherwood, then it is possible that they are related--perhaps brothers? I have thought perhaps that my Claiborne was son of William and Judith Hudson Harris because of similar names that I have of Claiborne's children. However if Sherwood (N. C. d. 1805) was born in 1733 and I'm pretty certain that my Claiborne was born around 1760 that means that Judith would have been bearing children for 30 years or more since the Claiborn in the William Harris will is about the 3rd child from the youngest. Does anyone have proof of the dates of Judith and/or William's birthdates? We know that William died 1778(I don't have the will before me so it may have been 1779 and Judith in 1799. Also Sherwood wasn't the first child of William and Judith. If anyone can shed light on this I'd appreciate it. I know from experience with my old Claiborne (d. 1833) that one can get the Claiborne's mixed up. (Kathryn Wiggins did) My Claiborne had a Claiborne born 1797/98, Old Claiborne's son James had a son named Claiborne and old Claiborne's son Dorrel Young Harris had a son Stephen Claiborne named after his two brothers (Stephen and Claiborne--or perhaps his father and brother) Old Claiborne's grandson died in 1853, the son Claiborne died after 1870. Because of all these that can be mixed up I am thinking that perhaps the Claiborne Harris who married Sally Hudson in 1789? (again I'm not looking at my papers) may have been the grandson of William and Judith Hudson Harris. I don't think anyone knows whether this Sally (Sarah) Hudson was related to Judith or not. There is also a James who had a son Claiborne in Warren Co. N. C. who might possibly be the son of William and Judith Harris since James was one of the older sons who was already out of the nest by the time the will was made. This James might possibly be the brother of my Claiborne. If we could know for sure that William was in Group 4 then all this might fit. I know that William/Judith Hudson Harris are thought to be in group 8 but is this positive or just supposition. Anyway, if someone knows for sure that this Sherwood was born in 1805 please let me know how you know. Thanks, Sarah Harris Andrews Group 4 ____________________________________________________________ Thinking of a life with religion?
