    1. [HARRIS-HUNTERS] re harris/ walker/ winston, etc, # 1
    2. belva cauthen
    3. i want to talk specifically about this lunenburg co, va deed which shows that  in 1746, sylvanus walker sold land to isaac winston, jr of hanover co, va, which was witnessed by tandy walker, etc.   in this case, this sylvanus walker is indicated to have been the brother of tandy walker, who also witnessed this deed, sons of sylvanus walker/ ann tandy of new kent co, va, who had moved to lunenburg co, va.   as talked about here on harris hunters, the winston family is said to have been more associated with the family of william harris/ temperance overton, but, again, this is part of all of this  info re our harris families there in new kent/ hanover cos, va we are still trying to puzzle through and to figure out.   again, what i can say based on these lunenburg co, va deeds and records, as well as those in laurens co, sc, these were the same families, including the walker family, who were significantly involved with my harris and goode family; the hudsons, etc, there in lunenburg co, va and who were still the same individuals and families also significantly involved with my harris and goode family, etc, in laurens co, sc.   again, there are too many families involved here and the connections are too multi-layered and involved for me to sum  all of this up and if this had been easy or simple for me to show you how all of this relates and connects, i would have done so.   lunenburg co, va deed book 1, page 97, 1746, silvanus walker of lunenburg co, va to isaac winston, jr of henrico co, va for 150 pds, 150 acres on the south side of  ****ing creek, now called modest creek, bounded by munford, john winn, evans.  signed:  silvanus walker.  witnesses:  lydall bacon; hampton wade; tandy walker.   hampton wade, who also witnessed this deed, was the son of robert wade, sr, who had also moved from hanover co, va to lunenburg co, va.   it was memucan hunt, who, again, had the patent in lunenburg co, va with samuel harris, which i have just talked about recently in this same bluestone creek area where both my william harris, sr/ frances goode and william harris/ judith hudson lived and the same samuel harris, shown to have been involved with them early in lunenburg co, va in cornelius cargill's district.   memucan hunt, who was the son of ralph hunt also of hanover co, va and who was also associated with robert wade, sr there,  married mary wade, daughter of robert wade, sr.   samuel harris, as the executor of the estate of adlar david early in lunenburg co, va sold land to robert wade, sr or jr, which was also witnessed by hampton wade.   again, this land was in the difficult creek area of lunenburg/ halifax co, sc which is also where peter hudson, sr lived and who was also the father of judith hudson harris.   here is the info, again, which also associates robert wade, sr and ralph hunt there in hanover co, va and also with a william harris.     again, it would be very helpful to know which william harris this william harris  refers to but i do not think we have an absolute lock on who all of these william harrises were per these new kent/ hanover cos, va processioning records.   here is the info from the st paul's parish vestry, hanover co, va, processioning records which, again, associates robert wade, sr with ralph hunt there and also with a william harris.   P. 283 & 284 (218) At a Vestry held for St. Pauls Parish Octobr ye 18th 1735.
