    3. Hi, all, For some reason, I could not get Part 11 to get through to this HARRIS list; Pat Clare was kind of enough to post the information for me. Thanks, Pat! Here are more records from Cedar Creek, combined with a few from other sources. Pam ============================================= Brewer, op. cit. - p. 91: 11/11/1769. James HARRIS and Mary CHEADLES [CHEADLE] publish their intention of marriage. John HARRIS & Moses HARRIS appointed to inquire into his clearness. [James HARRIS was the son of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas HARRIS; Mary CHEADLE was the daughter of Thomas & Judith Woodson CHEADLE of Caroline Co., VA. John & Moses HARRIS were the sons of Daniel & Mary Hutchens HARRIS, and the grandsons of John & Mary Stanley HARRIS.] - p. 92: 14/4/1770. John BARNETT requested to be released from being overseer of of Jeneto [Genito] meeting. [Goochland Co.] [This record may have been overlooked by researchers of the Barnett & Hutchens lines. This is a record of a John Barnett of approximately the same generation as Strangeman Hutchens {1707-1792.} Recall, as cited in Benjamin Harrises, Part 11, I showed a young widower John Barnett with his three children, Athanatious, Anna and Martha requesting to join Cedar Creek Meeting in 1767. This younger John Barnett then married, in 1767, Elizabeth Hutchens. And then, John's apparent brother, Athanatious, requested to marry Jane Hutchens in the same year And recall that Strangeman Hutchens {Sr.} asked to be relieved as overseer of the Genito Meeting in Goochland County, VA on April 9, 1768. So the John Barnett in later this citation was NOT the same person as the John Barnett who married Elizabeth Hutchens, who appears to have been the son of this older John Barnett of the Genito Meeting in Goochland Co., VA, as was, apparently, the older brother of this second Athanatious Barnett. {This name was also been recorded as "Arthanatious.}] - p. 92: 14/4/1770. Moses HARRIS and Archaldus STANLY [STANLEY] appointed overseer of Cedar Creek in the rum of James CREW and to have the oversight of Jeneto [Genito] with John HARRIS. [Moses & John Harris, sons of Daniel & Mary Hutchens Harris; This particular James CREW does not appear to have been the same as the James CREW who married Judith HARRIS, the daughter of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas HARRIS.] - p. 94: 10/11/1770. Clark MOORMAN and Rachal HARRIS published their intention of marriage. He is desired to produce a certificate form the meeting he belongs to setting forth his clearness. 8/12/1770 Clark MOORMON produced a certificate from South River meeting. [South River Meeting was in Bedford Co., VA until 1782; afterwards in Campbell Co., VA.] [Rachel Harris was the daughter of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris.] - p. 94: 8/12/1770. John & Moses HARRIS appointed to attend the marriage of Clark MOORMON [Moorman] and Rachal HARRIS [Rachel Harris]. [There is no record in these minutes of the marriage of Clark & Rachel. Rachel Harris was the daughter of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris of Goochland, Hanover, & Louisa Cos., VA.] - p. 111: 13/1/1776. David BROOKS attended this meeting on a religious visit and produced a certificate from Newgarden meeting. Obediah HARRISS [Obediah Harris] attended this meeting as companion to David BROOKS from Newgarden. [Obediah Harris, the eldest surviving child of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris; his wife was Rebecca Johnson, the daughter of of David & Mary Moody Johnson. Obediah & Rebecca's children who did not survive to adulthood were: James, David, Unnamed daughter I, Jemima, Martha, David II, and Unnamed daughter II. The surviving children of Obediah Harris & Rebecca Johnson were: Sarah, b. 1762, m. Richard Mendenhall; Benjamin, b. 1764, m. Margaret Ingles; Molly, b. 1768; Rachel, b. 1770, m. Abijar Jones; Obediah, b. 1774, m. Maris Marshall; Rebecca, b. 1780; Judith, b. 1784, m. Mr. Cook; and Elizabeth, b. 1784 {twins} {Bible of Obediah & Rebecca Johnson Harris} {Davis, op. cit., p. 468.|] - p. 82: 13/12/1776. James CREW & Thos PLEASANTS, John HARRIS & Strangeman HUTCHENS appointed to collect the sentiments of friends concerning the slave trade. - p. 20: 11/12/1784. Jeremiah HARRIS hath sold a slave which we believe to be an iniquitious practice & contrary to our discipline, we disown him. [Jeremiah Harris was the son of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris. He married, 1765, Anne Cheadle, the daughter of Thomas & Judith Woodson Harris of the Golansville/ Caroline Meeting. She was the grand-daughter of John & Lettice Southerne Cheadle.] - ============================================ [END OF FILE] ============================================
