To reply to Mrs. Wallace's posting: "Another James Harris? Later,  it appears James Harris was present in Madison Co.  He was not only an agent of Edward Harris of the town of Newbern in the State of North Carolina, a deed executed 3 Sept 1798, but also he was an a witness to the deed.  (DB D-570, film FHL 183,285) It is unknown whether there was a blood relationship between Edward Harris of Newbern, NC and  James Harris of Madison Co., KY; however, Edward Harris is not named in the will of Christopher Harris I of Madison Co." This James Harris, son of Samuel and Rebecca Morrison Harris, was the brother of Judge Edward Harris of Newbern, NC. Judge Edward Harris died intestate and had no children.  James Harris who married Susannah Gass died in Franklin County, Tennessee.  Judge Edward Harris was a large land owner, and many deeds are of record with his heirs signing.
