again, like carol's thomas harris, patte wood's ancestor stephen davis was also involved with the same robert harris and the depriest family there in hanover/ amelia/ prince edward cos, va.   as also shown, per patte wood's posts, patte is also interested in the morton family of prince edward co, va who were also involved with harris family in charlotte co, va.   this is the same morton family, who were also involved with my simcock cannon, grandfather of my jane cannon harris, wife of my charles harris, also in prince edward/ charlotte cos, va.   again, my charles harris, son of my william harris, jr/ frances rodgers, who died in 1799 laurens co, sc, son of our william harris, sr/ frances goode, who were in lunenburg co, va by 1746, married our jane cannon in 1807 in pendleton co, sc.   here is the info from patte wood:   May 7, 1770     Wm Epperson from Charles Harris 2 290  Charlotte County, VA 160 acres head branch of Wards Fork originally purchased from Joseph Morton by Harris. Also, Carlos Wood, son of Joseph Wood and Martha Epperson married a Glassery/Glaffery Bailey 1798 in Charlotte county.  Her sister, Polly, married Robert Harris, son of Capt. Robert Harris in Charlotte County 6 June 1803.  Polly Harris is mentioned as recently deceased in a letter from Carlos Wood to his daughter Mary Venon Wood in 1828 shortly before he died.   (william harris/ judith hudson also had a son robert harris but how or if this captain robert harris of charlotte co, va was related to their son, robert harris, i do not know.) If you find information on this Harris family or any Morton/Davis/Wood/Epperson or Watkins families, please let me know. Stephen Davis's heirs ended up living near  John and Joseph Morton's families in families in Prince Edward and Charlotte counties.  I also have an Elizabeth Davis marrying a Morton that I have not been able to connect to yet.   In our family the name Davis or James Morton Wood was commonly given as well as Elizabeth Crenshaw Davis but I have not found a Morton or Crenshaw direct link. Patte Wood                                            #   again, in regard to the crenshaws, this was our william harris/ mary giles' brother edward harris, who was the guardian of david alvis in hanover co, va.   this david alvis was the son of george alvis and his wife, mary, said to have been a crenshaw.   george alvis, who had previously also remarried alice, widow, of our major william harris of henrico co, va, was the step-father of our william harris/ mary giles and his brother, edward harris. here is the info also showing that my simcock cannon was also involved with this same morton family also there in prince edward co, va.   per amelia county road orders book 1735 -1753 by nathaniel mason pawlett, on may 17, 1751, O.S, page 322, page 72 of 157: simcock cannon; ellis palmer; isaac chandler; and john morton are ordered to assist in clearing a road from atwood's plantation on bryery river to roanoke road and ambrose eastis, surveyor of same.   again, ellis palmer, who married ann rudd and who was the brother-in-law of my simcock cannon/ jane rudd, died in 1800 in edgefield co, sc.   again, purchasers of ellis palmer's estate sale there in 1800 in edgefield co, sc included daniel mckie, jr and michael blocker/ rosannah griffin, whose son redding blocker was enumerated adjacent my arch harris/ elizabeth carter per this 1834 ga state census for cobb co, ga.   surely, these are, indeed really involved and interesting connections.     belva harris cauthen harris dna group 8-------26910
