per this post by dolores rutherford also re the harris and page families in goochland co, va, she also references this william taylor of lyme, ct, who wrote about this william harris of goochland co, va and  who stated that it was this william harris of goochland co, va who was the son of our william harris/ mary giles.   what i have said and said consistently that when i decided for us to participate in the harris dna project, my research showed that my william harris, sr/ frances goode was the son of my william harris/ judith hudson of lunenburg/ mecklenburg co, va.   i had never even heard of this william harris of goochland co, va or saw any connections with him and his family or to any other william harris.   again,  as i have also posted a number of times now, it was my william harris, sr/ frances goode; his son, my william harris, jr/ frances rodgers, along with my mackerness goode, sr; his son, our mackerness goode, jr and also with john cargill, sr/ rachel tinsley; their son, cornelius cargill/ sarah, who obtained these ca 1770 grants in laurens co, sc where they continued to be significantly involved there, having moved to laurens co, sc from this lunenburg/ halifax cos, va area.   these are the earliest and most significant connections i have re my william harris, sr/ frances goode and my william harris, jr/ frances rodgers in laurens co, sc, other than the fact that both my william harris, sr/'s frances goode and my william harris, jr's/ frances rodgers grants were adjacent each other and my rodgers family, who had also moved to laurens co, sc from lunenburg/ charlotte co, va also ca 1770.   again, i have never  been able to learn where my william harris, sr/ frances goode died but my william harris, jr/ frances rodgers died in 1799 in laurens co, sc.   again, both my william harris, sr/ frances goode and william harris/ judith hudson were there in lunenburg co, va at a time when this william harris/ mary of goochland co, va was there with his sons sherwood harris and gilliam harris, and who, again, is stated to have been the william harris whose daughter agnes harris married john cawthon.   again, it was this william taylor of  lyme, ct and i think also malcolm  hart harris, etc, who wrote that this william harris of goochland co, va was the son of our william harris/ mary giles.   this is just not  what my own research re my specific harris line and family shows and/ or what our harris dna confirms.   again, it is my brother david harris, who is participating in the harris dna project and we are a match with harris dna group 8, who are said and shown to have been the descendants of our captain thomas harris 1611 of jamestown via his son, our major william harris, wife, alice who re marrried george alvis, and who was the mother of our william harris/ mary giles (?) b ca 1672 and his brother edward harris b ca 1674.   again, my research, confirmed by our harris dna, shows that my william harris, sr/ frances goode, who was in lunenburg co, va by 1746, was the son of my/ our william harris/ judith hudson who was also in brunswick/ lunenburg co, va by 1743 and who died in 1778 in mecklenburg co, va.   again, this is also confirmed by this 1750 dodson survey for this land on wynn creek, which fell into halifax co, va, for william harris, sr and jr, which became a patent to my william harris, sr/ frances goode in 1758, which he sold in several tracts to john camp.   again, this halifax area would have been in cornelius cargill's district, father of john cargill, sr/ rachel tinsley, and, again,  my william harris/ judith hudson and my william harris, sr/ frances goode were the only william harrises in cornelius cargill's district in 1749/ 1750.   again, also my research and our harris dna also show, then, that it would have been my william harris/ judith hudson, who was the son of our william harris/ mary giles.     if this william harris of hanover, louisa, goochland cos, va is/ was also part of our captain thomas harris' harris line and family, then, he has to be the son of our william harris/ mary giles' brother, edward harris.   there is no other option.   again, what definitely indicates that this william harris of hanover, louisa, and goochland cos, va may have been the son of our edward harris, brother of our william harris/ mary giles, is this william harris' and his sons associations with the cawthons; the depriest family, who, again, are shown, per the processioning records of new kent/ hanover cos, va, to have been more involved with edward harris; george alvis; his son, david harris, and the crenshaws.   however, in order, to also confirm these connections, a descendant of this william harris of goochland co, va and/ or his sons, sherwood harris and gilliam harris, would need to be found to also participate in our harris dna project.       PAGE-L Archives Archiver > PAGE > 1999-05 > 0927820183 From: "Dolores C. Rutherford" < [email protected]> Subject: [PAGE-L] Part #40 Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 08:49:43 -0700 ` Hannah PAGE (dau. of "J") md. Sherwood HARRIS J-3 Hannah's birthdate is not known. Her birth is not recorded in the Douglas Register, so she was no doubt born before her parents moved to Goochland Co., VA. She md. Sherwood/Sherard HARRIS in Goochland Co. on 16 Dec 1761.(1) The Goochland Co. records are full of HARRIS references. There appear to have been two Sherwood HARRIS men in this county at the same time. The older man of this name appears to have left Goochland Co. about 1756 and settled in Granville Co., NC where he died in 1763. William R. TAYLOR of Lyme, CT has done extensive research on this HARRIS family.(2) The younger Sherwood HARRIS who md. Hannah PAGE evidently did not own any land in Goochland Co., VA, but he was involved in two court cases there. In one of the cases, John PAGE and Joseph HODGES gave bail for him.(3) In the other, his father-in-law, John PAGE, Sr., alone gave bail for him.(4) The court records also show that Sherwood HARRIS and Thomas STARKE appeared at the June 1765 court and proved a deed from William PAGE to John PAGE.(5) No deed appears in the Goochland Co. deed books for it, but John PAGE, Sr. later sold this land to William Britt in 1767.(6) Sherwood may have left Goochland Co. at the same time as his PAGE in-laws did, but Hannah was pregnant and probably stayed behind until he could get settled in their new home. He was last taxed in Goochland Co. in 1767, but he does not appear in the 1768 lists. Hannah was still there when their third child, Hannah, was born and baptized in 1768. Mr. Taylor reports that he does not know where they went after that but, in 1797, this Sherwood HARRIS was said to be of Wake Co., NC and, in 1800, he sold some land there and was said to be "of Richmond Co.". His will was probated in Anson Co., NC. According to Mr. Taylor, Sherwood and Hannah (PAGE) Harris had five children. Most of the following information is from him. J-3-1 "Franky" HARRIS (female) Her birthdate was not given, but the date of 25 Jan 1763 was given for her baptismal date by Mr. Taylor. She md. Isaac J. EASON, but no date was given. J-3-2 John HARRIS He was b. 3 Apr and bp'd 26 May 1765 in Goochland Co., VA.(7) He was md. ca. 1790 to Nancy, dau. of William WILLIAMS (place not given). This couple had twelve children, one of whom died young. One of their sons was given the first name of PAGE and four of their children md. into the WILLIAMS family. John and Nancy were in Hale Co., AL by 1817 and John is buried there in the HARRIS Cemetery near Akron. J-3-3 Hannah HARRIS She was b. 19 Jan and bp'd 27 Mar 1768 in Goochland Co., VA.(8). She md. Reddick DEAN. J-3-4 Mary HARRIS She was b. 1 Mar 1771 and md. Dudley WILLIAMS. They died in Henderson Co., TN. J-3-5 Archibald HARRIS He was b. 3 Feb 1774 in Wake Co., NC and md. Susanna WILLIAMS. He was a minister. Hannah (PAGE) HARRIS died sometime between 1774 and 1777 and Sherwood md. 2) Elizabeth ? (who was possibly the dau. of William WILLIAMS. They had six more children and most (if not all) of them were born in Wake Co., NC. Elizabeth, the 2nd wife, died in 1846 in Pickens Co., AL where some of her children had settled. This WILLIAMS family may have been related to the Goochland Co., VA family of the same name. Members of that family migrated to NC in the 1760's along with a number of other Goochland Co., VA families and Sherwood and Hannah (PAGE) HARRIS. NOTES (1) Douglas: 25. The groom's name is entered as Sherard Harris. (2) This information is from William R. Taylor of Old Lyme, CT. Mr. Taylor has done extensive research on this HARRIS family of Goochland Co., VA and NC. His wife is a descendant of Sherwood and Hannah (PAGE) Harris. Mr. Taylor's An article written by him on the HARRIS Family can be found in THE VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST, Vol. 22, #4 (1978), p. 261-270. It seems that there were many men with the first name Sherwood in the various HARRIS families. (3) Rutherford-Court: 6. (Goochland Co., VA Court Order Bk. 9, p. 246) This was a case of debt brought by Alexander Baine, a merchant in the area, at the Dec 1763 court. The case was dismissed at the Feb 1764 court. (4) Rutherford-Court: 8. (Goochland Co., VA Court Order Bk. 11, p. 7) This was a "Trespass on the Case" suit with James George as the plaintiff introduced at the Jan 1767 court. John Page, Sr. gave bail for the defendant, Sherwood Harris, and the case was continued to the next court. However, I found no further disposition of this case in these records. (5) Rutherford-Court: 7. (Goochland Co., VA Court Order Bk. 10, p. 1) (6) Rutherford-Deeds: 8. (Goochland Co., VA Deed Bk. 9, p. 117) The 150 acres that John's son, William, evidently sold back to him (per the previous court record) was included in the 250 acres sold to William Britt. The remaining 100 acres had evidently been redeemed by John Page, Sr. when his son, John Jr. had mortgaged it. (7) Douglas: 208.
