Hi Katrina, I was interested in what you said in your note to Ira about the war records where you had found several Claiborne's listed. Do you still have access to those records and if so would you post them on the Harris hunters e-mail. My Claiborne Harris was in the Yellow Creek area of Dickson -Montgomery Counties TN from 1807 to 1830. His sons Claiborne, Stephen and Dorrel Young served in the war of 1812. (or I'm reasonably certain they did) There is a Howell Harris who was sued in Dickson Co. in 1824. Whether he is one of Ira's ancestors, I don't know. There is mention of Daniel Harris in the Dickson County Court records for 1816 to 1828. Would that tie in with your Daniel? I think I ran across a record somewhere that there was a Claiborn Thompson Harris in the Alabama records. Also there was a Daniel Seaborn Harris in Alabama who was descended from Sherwood Harris of Anson County and who died there in 1805. His son Sherwood, who may have been Daniel's father, was in Marshall County MS in the 1850's and died in Memphis, TN in 1869. Somewhere I have a letter from Daniel that tells a lot about that family but I haven't been able to find it yet. Hope this helps. Sarah
