Hi, all, Wandering through other sources, I found that "Obadiah" Harris owned 440 acres of land on Wolf Branch of the Deep River in Rowan Co., North Carolina, which he sold to John Cheadle (II), of Caroline Co., VA, in October of 1767 (John's son-in-law, Samuel Hargrave, had also purchased land in Rowan Co. in 1766 from a different owner) (DAVIS, Virginia Lee Hutcheson: Tidewater Virginia Families: Generations Beyond; Copyright, 1998, by the author; Published, 1998, by Genealogical Publishing Company; Second Printing, 2004, by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, Mayland, USA; ISBN #0-80631-578-4; LOC # 98-72719; p. 150. (Virginia cited Rowan County, North Carolina Deed Book 6, pp. 504, 505.) (A note to everyone: PLEASE be aware that this Genealogical Publishing Company "rearranges" real ISBN numbers, so that it appears as an ISBN record number that identifies ONLY their books: a CORRECT & RELIABLE ISBN number format is: X-XXXXX-XXX-X (a format of 1-5-3-1), but the Genealogical Publishing Company has altered all the ISBNs for the books THEY publish to X-XXXX-XXXX-X (or a format of 1-4-4-1.) (This publishing company, while their publications are reliable, appears to be narrowly-skirting the copyright laws of the United States.) It seems obvious that this Obediah Harris was the Quaker son of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris, as he was selling his property to John Cheadle (II), an elder of the Golansville/ Caroline. (John Cheadle never quite made it to North Carolina, though, as he died in late 1767 or early 1768 in Caroline Co., VA. What eventually happened to this land is undiscovered by me, as the Caroline Co., VA records have been decimated, except for the Court records.) It also has not been discovered by me if the land that Obediah Harris owned in Rowan Co., NC was land that he himself had purchased, or whether it was land that Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris had previously purchased (please do bear in mind that, under the primogeniture laws of Virginia, Obediah was his father's sole heir-at-law.) Please remember that these records that I sending JUST record the descendants of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris, and NOT the descendants of John & Mary Stanley Harris, which I believe to have been descendants of a DIFFERENT Harris line. ALSO, I have not been able to extract EVERY record of the line of Benjamin & Sarah, but only a few of them. Here is Part 19 of the children of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris. Pam ==================================== Matthew Peatross Terrell was b. August 11th, 1762 the son of Thomas & Rebecca Terrell of the Golansville/Caroline Meeting (BELL, James P.: Our Quaker Friends of Ye Olden Time, Being in Part a Transcript of the Minute Books of Cedar Creek Meeting, Hanover County, and the South River Meeting, Campbell County, Virginia; Published, 1905, Lynchburg, Virginia; Republished, 1976, Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, MD, USA; p. 20.) ==================================== Wright, op. cit.
