Looking for the parents of James W. HARRIS of Rockingham County, NC. He was born in 1805 died 1863 in Cherokee Co. Tx. Any information would be sincerely appreciated. Here is what is known: His son, Wootson Daniel HARRIS was born May 31, 1831, mother unknown. James married Emily WHITTEMORE February 20, 1832 in Rockingham Co. NC. We have no further information on other children of James. I have found Wootson in Columbia County, Ark 1860 census, 1870 Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana census, 1880 McLennan County, Texas census where he died in 1900.

Wootson married 1st Mary FRANKS, who had Charles Edward, Augustus Henry, Virginia, Mary, Hugh Henry, Samuel Thomas and Wootson Daniel. All born in Arkansas according to census records. Mary died in 1867. Wootson married 2nd Laura T. NEIL ANDERSON who died the same year they married in 1872. He married 3rd to Mary Ellen CLINE.
