Hi, Thanks very much for the replies. This is my line that I believe is Group 8. I have more dates and information on this line once it reaches Murray County, Georgia. My Group 3 line also moves into Murray County about 1840 and is from my mother's maternal line and is Scots Irish. This line is from my mother's paternal line and is English in origin.

This county is in North Georgia and not far from Tennessee, as well as North and South Carolina. The census shows Elijah was born about 1780 in North Carolina and his occupation is blacksmith.? He is the only member of household 813.? Elijah Harris is living next to Henderson and Elizabeth Anderson, both? from Tennessee and other families in this direction are the families of Robert Williamson, John Martin, Eslingers, Blairs, Wards, Nations, Orrs. Hugh and Margaret Burke both from Virginia are on the other side with family including a 100 year old Elizabeth Huffman from VA in the household.? Around them is the family of William Neal born about 1800 in South Carolina and his wife Rebecca born in Georgia.? Other families include the McAllisters, Strawns, Crow, Deavers and Hartsells.? Also a Thomas Wiley born about 1785 in South Carolina and his wife Elizabeth born about 1802 in South Carolina. The names of their children include a son named Elijah.? Also close by is a John Mackey born about 1784 in Virginia. Elijah Harris is listed on the 1860 Whitfield census.? According to the US Federal Census Mortality Schedules, 1850-1885, he was widowed and died June 1860 in District 11, Whitfield, Georgia, occupation of farmer. Does anyone know which Harris family this Elijah fits into??
