    2. Pam Stone
    3. Hi, everyone, Looking back through prior records in other places, I stumbled across a notation in the White Oak Swamp/Henrico Meeting minutes that indicated that James & Judith Harris Crew visited or moved to Rich Square Meeting, North Carolina, in 1781 [Wright, op. cit., p. 60.] Rich Square Meeting is in Northampton Co. in eastern North Carolina. They appear to have stayed only a short time, and returned to Cedar Creek, where, as you know, he was disowned in 1786. It appears that he made amends, and joined White Oak Swamp/Henrico Meeting. On to Part 18 of the descendants of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris. Pam ==================================== Genealogical Publishing Co., op. cit. p. 108: Aug. 20, 1785. John BARNAT [Barnett], of Goochland, to James CREW, of St. Martin's 25a. ==================================== Davis, Virginia, op. cit. p. 471: JAMES HARRIS James Harris was the son of Benjamin and Sarah Dumas Harris, and was probably born in Louisa County about 1745. . James was still in Caroline County in 1785, for he was requested to view the way for a road petitioned for by Paul Woolfolk; Johnson Faulkner, William Peatross and John Butler were to assist him. [1] He must have maintained homes in both places for he was identified as living in Henrico County that same year in a land transaction in Hanover County.[2] It is not known exactly when James and his family moved to Henrico County permanently. By 1787, James was listed as the general manager of the James River Company to Richmond.
