Plantation containing 358 acres of good land being in Hanover County, about three miles above New Market Mill*****, and in the "second fork of Pamunkey River";***** the land lyes on a main road and is very convenient to a church and several good mills; and is not above twenty two miles from Page's Warehouse; being the land and plantation whereon James Brown now lives. There are on the land near one hundred and fifty bearing apple trees, a good frame dwelling house with several other convenient out-houses. The price is sixty five pounds. Any person desirous to purchase, may apply to Robert Harris, living near New Market Mill, or to the above James Brown, owner of the said land. 1738 Robert Harris, Jun. <_http://www.pastportal.com/cwdl_new/VA_Gazet/Images/VG/1738/0196hi.jpg_ (http://www.pastportal.com/cwdl_new/VA_Gazet/Images/VG/1738/0196hi.jpg) > Stray'd from me the subscriber, of Hanover County, the 12th of September last, a Bay Mare, of about 4 feet 4 inches high, branded on the near buttocks, thus I, and she hath some white on the lower part of her face, and part of one of her hind hoofs is white, and one side of her buttocksis of a darker color than any other part of her body, her mane hangs both sides of her neck, and has a long tail, never having been doct, but the hair of the tail has been eaten by calves. Whoever will bring the said mare to me in Hanover County, near New Market Mill, or to Mr. Thomas Branches, in Henrico County, at Kingsland Ferry, shall have ten shillings reward, paid by me. Robert Harris, Jun. If you look at the first deed in particular and note the date and the Robert Harris and Robert Harris, Jr., you'd have to consider that this is not the Robert Harris, Surveyor, Group 6 family because the son Robert Jr. attributed to Robert Harris/Mourning by group 6 records and with a DNA kit is not born until ca 1746 from what I see. The children of Robert Harris, Surveyor, and wife Mourning seem to line up with birthdates from about 1724 onward. The Richard Harris ***in this area who has not been accounted for may be the one who died ca 1735 leaving undocumented orphans.

I James Harris of the County of Albemarle and Parish of Fredericksville being in common health and of perfect sound mind & memory thanks be to God for the same but calling to mind the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death and knowing that it is appointed for all men to die do make and ordain this my last will and testament hereby revoking and disannulling all other wills and testaments heretofore by me made and this only to be my last will and testament. First my will and desire is that all any just debts together with my funeral expenses to be paid out of my estate and as for such worldly goods wherewith it has been pleased God to bless me with dispose of them in the manner and form following Imprums(?) I leave unto my beloved wife Betsey Harris all my estate both real and personal for and remaining the term of her natural life or widowhood she making no waste thereof only for her own support and at my wifes death or marriage I give unto Betsey Mills five shillings also to my daughter Caty Owens five shillings current money and then the balance of my estate to be sold on a reasonable credit both real & personal and the money arising from such sale to be equally divided among my children towit *Henry Harris, William Harris, Peter Harris, James Harris, Blake Harris, Wiley Harris and the children that are then living of my daughter Sarah Jones i*s to have one equal part of my estate to be divided among them so as the whole of the children of* *my daughter Jones has no more among the whole of them than are then living that are one of the rest of my children hers for his own part and the children of my daughter *Mary Owings *that are then living the same as my daughter *Sarah Jones's *children, the children of my* Nancy Owens* that are then living the same as my daughter Mary Owings children and if any of my children before mentioned should die without lawful issue then my will and desire is that their part should be equally divided amoung the rest of my children and grandchildren as before mentioned. *Betsey Mills and Caty Owings excepted.* Lastly I nominate and appoint *my sons Henry Harris, William Harris, Blake Harris and David Owings executors* of this my last will and Testament Signed sealed subscribed and preserved by the said James Harris to be his last will and testament this *tenth day of* *August 1796* In presence of Rob.

John Nicholas CC" *There is one James Harris, married to Mary Harris dau of Maj. Robert Harris (Mourning Glenn) who was born about 1729 and died in 1792, leaving a Will naming his children. But Where does this James Harris, who died in 1797, fit into the Harris family?* *This last James names a son Henry Harris. I'm seeking my Henry's parents. The birth date given (1733) for James, d 1797 is more in keeping to be a brother to my Henry than to be his father - unless the dates are wrong. My Henry Harris was born in 1742. Any and all light about these people is greatly appreciated. Wanda Flesher* -- For Freedom's Sake - Love God, Love America
