Hi, everyone, Sorry it has taken so long for me to post again, but it takes time to gather new information. Here is the next part of the descendants of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris through their son, Obediah and his wife, Rebecca Johnson Harris. There are a couple of unrecognizable surnames in here, but I am trying to give some names for the daughters that later married coming from Obediah & Rebecca.

The first is from the memory of Jeremiah Cox, Jr., in a letter to Charles Coffin. The Cox letter, which with other Coffin manuscript material is in the archives of Earlham College, is as follows: Middleborough, Inda., 2nd Mo. 17th 1756 Esteemed friend Thy letter of Inquiry of the 14th Instant came duely to hand, which I hasten to answer to the best of my recollection, not having much else to build upon, and in order to have the answers as near correct as possible, I have consulted my friend Isaac Commons (whose memory I think more reliable than my own.) We have undertook to give the names of each family with their numbers as near as we could, several of them we know to be correct, others we gessed at as well as we could from circumstances had in remembrance. Which thee will find on the other side of this sheet first the names of those who were here at the opening of the meeting in 1807 which we think was only an indulgence until the establishing of the monthly meeting. Secondly, the names of the several families residing in reach at the opening of the monthly meeting we may very possibly have given some names as residing here at the opening of who came shortly afterwards, and on the other hand we may have given a few as coming after who were here at the first opening of the meeting. My fathers family was the first family of friends in what is now Wayne County and Robert Smiths the second, then Frederick Hoover, Elijah Wright, next John Smith. There was a few families about the same time, settled at Silver Creek, in what is now Union County. The names of the friends in the white- water at the opening of the first meeting in 1807.
