Hi Cindi, and Anita, The fartherest back I have is Clabon (Claiborn, Claibourne) Harris b. about 1760-65 d. 1833 Fayette County, TN. His wife Alice Young Hill probably died before the 1820 census was taken. Their children: James b. probably in the 1780's died before 1840 m. Elizabeth "Betsy " Stanfield in Maury County TN 1811 (2) Sarah L. Harris m. Cain had moved to Cass County Texas by 1855 (3.) Mumford Monroe b. 1786-87 d. 1814 Methodist Preacher, (4)Stephen b. 1794 d. 1855 Marshall County, MS bachelor, (5) Dorrel Young b. 29 July 1795 d. Jan.d. 18 Jan. 1854 Marshall County, MS, m. 1819 Harriet Peeples,(6) Claiborne Harris, Jr. b. 1798 m. Diana Boone in 1823. She died 1849 He was in Holmes Co. MS in 1855, (7) Robert Park Harris, b. 1804 m. (1) Goodrich (2) Winifred Neville (8)Nancy D. Harris b. 1807 m George Jackson Goodrich (9)Wesley Harris (10) Samuel Harris (11) Hampton Harris m. Dean (12) Louisa Harris m. Birthright (13) Mary Y. Harris m. John Wimberly I have the names of the children of James, Sarah, Dorrel Young (my ancestor) Claiborne, Robert Park, and Nancy D. In 1800 Claiborne and his family were in Anson County, N. C. They sold their property there in 1807 and moved along with the family of James Goodrich to the Yellow Creek area of Dickson/Montgomery Counties TN. Stephen, Claiborn and Dorrel Young Harris are listed in the roles of the War of 1812 from Dickson County, TN. In the1830 census Dorrel Y. Harris and George Goodrich Jr (married to Nancy D. Harris) Claiborne Jr. had married Diana Boone in West Feliciana Parish LA in 1823 but moved to Fayette County in about 1825. He could have been instrumental in the moving of the rest of the family into Fayette County. James Harris, Robert Park Harris and probably Sarah Cain were also in Fayette County in the 1830 census. Between 1830 and 1833 (when old Claiborne died) the rest of the family moved there When the Indian lands opened up in 1837 they migrated to Marshall County MS where we find James' wife Elizabeth and her children and that James had died sometime prior to 1840. Claiborne Harris died in 1833 without a will and sons Stephen and Dorrel Young Harris were the executors. It took several years to get the estate settled. Stephen died in 1854 without children and willed his property to his sister Nancy Goodrich. She had one son that we know of named Robert D. Goodrich who was also in Marshall County at that time. Sarah Cain and Louise Birthright had gone to Cass County Texas by this time as did Mary Bryant who was a daughter of James and Elizabeth Harris. Their son Claiborne had died in 1853. James and Elizabeth had other children: James Douglas, Stephen J. and Elizabeth J. By 1854 when Stephen Harris died Claiborne Jr. had lost his wife Diana and was living in Holmes County MS. He had 4 children: Alice Jane, Philander, Eunice Louisa and Diana Wesley. After Dorrel Young Harris, son of Claiborne Haris, Sr. died in 1854 his wife Harriet removed to Forrest City Arkansas where she was in the 1860 census with several of her children (one of which was my grandfather Dorrel Young Harris, Jr.) I have the names (and dates) of the other children if anyone is interested. I found a notation the other day that there was a yellow fever epidemic in Holly Springs (Marshall County, MS) in 1854 which makes me wonder if these people died of yellow fever. Dorrel Harris Jr. was in the Civil War but got sick so paid someone to finish out his enlistment. I know this is rather lengthy but I hope it will shed some light on this branch of the Harris family. I believe the Claiborn Harris in Ala. may be the one who migrated from N. C. to S. C. rather than mine. Sarah
