I, too save a folder with Harris info I am interested in, many messages from Ira. Please continue. I enjoy hearing about all lines on this very good mail list. By the way, I do not post a lot, but when I do, I inevitably get a response from Ira. Thank You Again, Ira. RHarris NCarolina
It's great to see this list so active and to see so much good work being posted by Ira. I am enjoying reading and hoping I'll see my Lucretia HARRIS ROGERS someday. Lucretia HARRIS md. Daniel ROGERS abt 1781 in Edgefield Dist., SC. She was b. 8 Sept 1765 and died c. 1870. One source says she died in MS, but I don't really know about that. Lucretia's children were: Felix, Elizabeth, Mary, James, Lewis, Amelia, Sutley/Sutton, Sarah, Daniel, III; Lucretia Harris, David, Littleberry "Berry," Jane, and Nancy. One source says that she is the child of John HARRIS, II and wife Mary PICKENS. The dates don't work for this, but it is poss. that John HARRIS, II, was Lucretia's brother. The dates work for that, but I have no proof. If John were her brother, then her parents would be John HARRIS, b. c1745 and Mary Dashiell HANDY. She is not among their documented children's names, so again, I don't know. At one point I thought Lucretia HARRIS was linked to Jenkins HARRIS. Daniel ROGERS received his first land grant of 250 ac. in 1764 and sold it to Jenkins HARRIS. The name Lucretia HARRIS has been given to many of the ROGERS girls thru the generations so she must have been a revered woman by her family. I would appreciate any info anyone has about her or her parentage. Anything is always better than not knowing anything at all! Thank you! God bless, Dolores Miller Pringle
