Ira, I, and others, have been trying to find the Virginia ancestors of this Jesse Harris II. Jesse Harris Born before 1754 migrated to N.C. before the R.W. It is believed that he came with his sister, Mary Harris, and her husband Augustine Davenport. They may have also been accompanied by an uncle Jesse Harris. Jesse Harris II married Frances "Frankie" Ward. He is believed to have served in the Rev War. He died in Davidson County, NC in 1833. A son, Jesse Sutton Harris, migrated through TN to Marshall Co, MS. His sons migrated west to Brown County, TX about 1860. The name "Jesse Sutton" has appeared frequently in Jesse II's descendant families. Jesse was apparently not a common name for the early Virginia Harris families. Would like to hear about any early Virginia Colony Jesse Harris'. Bill S ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ira L.
