recently this deed re william harris/ henrietta has been discussed and as i went back and reviewed, i noted that it had been discussed in the past and this same deed posted a number of times, including the following post by e.w., which gives a lot more info per this deed.   i have both some questions and some comments.   as shown, per this deed re william harris/ henrietta, it states that it was part of the 1500 acres which was a patent to this william harris'/ henrietta father.   the only william harris i know who had a patent for 1500 acres in 1725 is stated to have been the william harris, jr, said to have been the son of captain william harris/ temperance overton.   that patent for 1500 acres is described as being on elk creek adjacent james overton.  this patent here is described as being on the north fork of little river at the mouth of horsepen swamp.   so, are these different descriptions for the same patent?   how is it known that this william harris' wife, henrietta was a baker?  is there a marriage record or some other info stating or showing this?   also, how is it known that the william harris, jr, who obtained this patent for 1500 acres in 1725 was married to elizabeth burnett?  again, is there some record of this?   are there any actual deeds for this william harris/ elizabeth burnett?   again, the following version of this same deed which pat posted and discussed recently had been posted earlier by e. w. :    She indicates her source is a deed in Louisa Co., VA. She abstracts Louisa Co., VA DB 2-298, 24 Apr 1759. A fuller abstract of this deed is found in a later-published book of Louisa Co., deeds. I will copy it here for the use of other Harris-Hunters.
