While searching through "They Lived in Somerset" I found reference to a Harris family. Knowing that the issue of Kent Island and William Claiborne was a huge issue between VA and MD, and knowing that William Harris was affiliated with Claiborne, I wondered if there were any links to the Harrises. Here are the entries: Harris, Catharine 1695/08/25 MCW gr-ch of William Overton Harris, William 1676/03/01 IKL m to Alce Roberts by Capt. John Winder Harris, Ann 1679/11/14 IKL b to William & Alice Harris, William 1681/02/28 IKL b to William & Alice Harris, Richard 1688/09/05 IKL b to William & Alice Harris, Francis 1691/07/27 IKL b to William & Alice Other Harrises: Harris, John 1667/03/26 Harris, Elinor 1675 /03/11 Harris, George 1678/11/01 Harris, James 1693/04/04 Harris, Richard 1682/01/17 m to Susannah Richardson Harris Richardson 1683/03/05 b to Richard & Susanna

Pat, Thank you for posting this information. I wonder if you could supply more clear information on the author of this book, the copyright [if there was one], and publication date of this book, and what the abbreviations mean in the Harris references you have given? Do these Harris references come for various sources? Or from only one? [That is not very clear in the posting you have given here, but it is very important to anyone else trying to verify what you are so kindly sharing with the rest of the list.] [I also seem to recall that it has been assertively pointed out on this list that the information suggesting that William Harris & William Claibourne were somehow linked {through William Claiborne's daughter, the supposed Mary}is extremely doubtful {having no absolute proof?}] I care less about the particular lines mentioned than whether source citations are correctly cited on this list [this being extremely important for everyone on this list.] Appreciate the correct citations when you get time to reply. THANKS!
