A living brother, Charles Harris was mentioned in the obituary for James Madison Harris published in the October 23, 1933 Napa Daily Journal. Although I had seen his name mentioned in the 1880 Bearcreek in Cedar Co, MO census, I had never found any other reference to him and thought he might have died young. I focused my search for him in Fresno, CA and found Charles living with his wife Carrie L. in Fresno county in the 1900-1930 census. With this as a start, I followed them back to Missouri where I found their marriage license and information about Carrie’s parents and extended family. The following summarizes what I have discovered in the last few days. Charles P Harris was the 7th and last child of Dr. William Henry and Nancy (Taylor) Harris. He was born in December 1870 in Bearcreek, Cedar Co, MO. His brothers and sisters were : Mary A (1854-?), James Madison (1857-1933), Catherine Barkeley (1860-?), George J (1862-?), Elizabeth S Hopkins (1864-ca 1891), Margarette Janie Hopkins (1868-1949). He had three brothers by his father’s first wife Mary Ann Phillips: John Jefferson (1847-1933), William Henry (1848-?), and Thomas Taylor (1850-after 1830). On August 28, 1898, Charles married Carrie L. Wooldridge in the Stockton, MO home of the Justice of the Peace. At some point between his Missouri marriage, the death of his father on July 23, 1899, and June 14 1900 he moved to Selma, CA, joining his brother James and his wife's family (although James had already left for the Yukon goldfields). Charles and Carrie had their only child, Genevieve, on July 6, 1907. They continued to live in the Fresno area, living first in rented houses and then their own home. Charles worked as a farm laborer, drawbridge operator, and night watchman in a raison plant. Genevieve was still living at home in 1930, working as a stenographer in an attorney’s office. She married a man named Davidson and died at the age of 74 in San Francisco on Mar 22, 1982. Carrie was the youngest child of Dr Madison B and Anna L or E (Morgan) Wooldridge. Her mother was born ca 1846 in Tennessee. Her father was born ca 1832 in Kentucky. He was a physician and I wonder if Charles’ father William apprenticed with him. Was his name the source of James Harris’ middle name? Carrie’s other siblings were Edward W, Clara M, and Lula M (born circa 1867, 1871, and 1874 in Missouri). Her family moved to Linn in Cedar Co, MO by 1870 and to Bearcreek by 1880 where they lived near the extended Harris family. Madison and Anna probably named Edward after his grandfather, Edward W Wooldridge who was born in South Carolina ca 1790 but lived most of his life in Kentucky; Hopkins Co (1820) and Christian Co, KY (1830-1850). The family appeared to be prosperous and owned slaves. Edward and his wife Margaret had at least one other child, a son Wilson W who was also a physician and lived in Bearcreek, MO arriving by 1860. Wilson lived first with the George and Mary Fleeman family and then established his own household after marrying Jane Hamby on Feb 2, 1866. There a fair amount of information about the Wooldridge family on the internet and a 2-volume book is available about them.
