Leon, Yes, I do have copies of those death certificates, thank you for asking. There was an Isabella Harris living with John and Amy in the 1850 census. Do you know where she fits in? William Harris and Cecila Little were married in Ralls County, Missouri 3 September 1839. The marriage record gives her parents and William Little and Susan Greenwell. It lists William's parents as John Harris and Nembra Blackenbecker.

He purchased to ieces one of 160 acres and one of 49.+ acres. There was also a John Harris ho purchased 160 Aug 3 1837 in Monroe County. John and Amy would have had ome money as she received land from her fathers will which John was the xecutor of this will. They were in Washington County Virginia at this time. his will was date 1826. John would have been 25 at the time they married so e could will have been married before he married Amy. If he had small hildren he would have been looking for a wife to help take care of them. Do ou have the death certificates for John Henry and Mary or Minerva and Mack? have them if you don't. I will dig up some more information and send more ater.

Mary was the daughter of Lawson Berry nd Elizabeth Somers who came from the Page County, Virginia area to Ralls ounty, Missouri. John Nelson and Mary Elizabeth Berry Harris had one child I am aware of - inerva who married Mack Rouse. You may already have the following: ccording to a newspaper article printed August 38, 1937, John Harris, Sr as born near Wheeling, WV 27 January 1790 and married Amy McGee in that tate about 1822 (doesn't mention the first wife). It goes on to say he came o Middle Fork Township about 1844 and died 17 December 1877 and was buried n the family cemetery beside his wife. It goes onto list his seven hildren - but credit's William to Amy rather than the first wife - it ists the sons as William, Austin H and John Jr. and the daughters as Sally, artha, Nancy and Catherine. It continues with stating William married Miss ittle (that would have been Cecila daughter of William Little and Susan reenwell); Austin married Lydia Robinson, John married Margaret Cox in 853, daughter of Levi Cox. Sally Harris married Marion Cox; Martha married oe McGhee; Nancy married William Faulkiner, Sr and (after Nancy's death) he arried her sister Catherine. Funeral records for John Nelson Harris list his parents as William Harris nd Cecila Little and was born 12 September 1840. I've been interested in the John Harris line not only because of the Berry onnection but because part of my Harris family (Harris Group 10) also lived n nearby Monroe County and I've wondered if there was any connection etween the two Harris families.

He was my ggrandfather through his son William and his second wife Francis and hn's first wife. He is buried in the family cemetery on the 80 acres he ught when he came to Macon County Missouri along with Amey Chiles McGehee. s son Austin and his wife and their infant children are also buried in is cemetery. The land was still owned by the family up to about 5-6 years o. William had died before 1850 census and after 1849 as he had a child e year old in 1850 census. I have not found his grave or a marker in the mily cemetery. He is mentioned in his fathers will indicating by the nguage of the will that he was dead, Francis took the children to Iowa.
