Half-hearted reply to your query below: Since you live in Richmond, VA and if you are NOT working full-time, you MUST get to the Library of Virginia.  Otherwise, you may have to hire someone to do the work for you.  First, search LVA's online catalog of Virginia books (in a different part of the library--segregated as the theft is probably a problem) and ask about books by Ann K. Blomquist, who has had some recently published books about Cumberland Co. and its parent county Goochland Co. Unfortunately, Hanover Co., the adjoining county of old Goochland Co. is a *burned* county, and that is where some early Harrises were--on or near the Pamunkey River Henrico Co. is the parent county of Goochland Co.  (Dr. Benjamin B. Weisiger, deceased, has several books about early Henrico Co.  He gave permission to the FHL in Salt Lake City to film/microfiche his books.  So, if you cannot get to the VA State Library during its opening hours, check with your nearby LDS family history and see what is available on film/fiche for Dr. Weigiser's books.  Microfiche used to cost $15 cents apiece, and generally stayed at the FH Center permanently.  Films are rented for a limited time. These are the books I know about  Ann K. Blomquist's authorship.  of course, there are HARRISES in the indexes.  But you have to discover these for yourself, or hire someone to do it for you. Southam Parish Land Processioning 1747-1784:  Goochland, Cumberland, Pawhatan Counties, Virginia. (There are some late maps in the back of this book.  Several Harrises in index:  Note the bibliography also.  Useful.) The Vestry Book of Southam Parish, Cumberland Co., VA 1745-1792 Goochland County, Virginia Court Order Book 3, 1731-1735 Goochland County, Virginia Court Odrer Book 4, 1735-1741 Goochland County, Virginia Court Odrer Book 5, 1741-1745 These books are either by Willow Bend Books or Heritage Books, both the same now. There are earlier court order books for Goochland, but these books may be hard to find as the publishing company went out of business some years ago.  If anyone has them, however, it probably is the Library of Virginia--and the DAR Library, Washington, DC.  (Check when the Continental Congress is at DAR buildings.  No outsiders admitted--except entertainers and speakers.   Ad maybe the press.)

Alas, she died in 1906, after the birth of third child.  Wouldn't have been neat to tell both those grandparents!!!
