since, per the lunenburg co, va deeds, i had found previously re the samuel harris, who was associated with this james roberts, jr and the claibornes, were the only two deeds i had found, i am going to cite other of these lunenburg co, va deeds re the claibornes and talk about these connections.   actually in finding these lunenburg co, va deeds on line re the claibornes, i noted that this samuel harris, who witnesses this 1781 deed re john claiborne, is indicated to have been the same samuel harris who witnessed the 1761 deed re james roberts, jr to richard claiborne.   as noted, john claiborne also sold land to james harris.  again,   i cannot identify either this samuel harris or james harris but i am going to talk about how these deeds re these individuals also do relate to my own interests and that do indicate that they may have been related harris family.   i will cite these deeds first and, then, come back and talk about them.   CLAIBORNE-L Archives Archiver > CLAIBORNE > 2000-11 > 0973976031 From: Judy Penrod Purcell < [email protected]> Subject: [CLAIBORNE] Claiborne Deeds in Lunenburg VA Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 12:53:51 -0800 Posted on: CLAIBORNE Deeds Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/l/CLAIBORNE/deeds/7 Surname: CLAIBORNE, BACON, FOUNTAINE-FOUNTAIN, ALLEN, READ, CLEMENT, BOWEN, HAMLIN-HAMBLIN, MITCHELL, DOWSING, ERSKINE, LEATON, BRAGG, BROWN, ROBERTS, HARRIS-HARRISS, HAMMOND, BENNETT, JOHNSON, BLANKINSHIP, THORNTON, WESTBROOK, FARMER, GREEN, CAUDLE, MASON, JARRETT-GARROTT, GEE, LEWIS, POYTHRESS, CORBIN, BRIGGS, MUMFORD, MOON, GAFFORD, CLARK, HUDSON, LAD, FULERLOVE, THAXTON, BLAGRAVE, DAWS, SMITH, STARKE, PATTESON, WINN, DEGRAFFENRIDE ------------------------- Claiborne Deeds Lunenburg Co., VA Deed Book III:80 13 Dec 1751.
