I am looking for information about Dr. Ephraim Drake Harris, Sr. He was born ~1816 in NC and died Nov 21, 1865 in Santa Rosa, Sonoma Co, CA. His first wife may have been Martha E. Smith. They had a son, Morgan C (born ~1841 in MO). In 1850, he was a widower, living with his son in Cass Co, MO. He came to CA by wagon train in the early 1850s, settling in Mendocino Co. He married his second wife, Sarah Ann Hardin there and they had two additional children: Sarah Henne (1854-1868) and Ephraim Drake, Jr. (1860-11911). After Dr Harris' death, his widow Sarah Ann remarried my GGgrandfather, Benjamin Wesley Hunt. They had several more children, living in Blucher Valley, Mendocino, Analy, and Santa Rosa in CA until their deaths. I have found a number of men in the late 1890s and early 1900s living in CA with similar names who might have been somehow related, but I haven't tried very hard to track them down because I have no idea how they might have been related (e.g., Ephraim Drake Harris, a priest, Drake Edwin Harris, Ira Drake Harris). I also found an Ephraim D. Harris listed in the Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, and Widows, etc section of the 1890 Census of Washington, Laclede, MO (yes, 1890 - - the first time I've ever found anything in the 1890 census!). He was listed as a Private in Company C, 110th IL regiment in the infantry. He enlisted Aug 4, 1863 and was discharged Sep 30, 1864. I don't think this was my man, however, as mine was probably living in California with his wife and children during the Civil War. Also, it seems off to me that a 40-year-old physician would have enlisted as a private. I assume that these Edwin/Ephraim/Edwin Drake Harrises must have been given family names and were associated with the same Harris family. Can anyone identify this family?
