I recognize the names buried in the Banks Cemetery. Thomas Lee Harris was my grandmother's half-brother. Because of the sequence of gravesites, the Louis Harris must be related; I can't remember who he was, and I'm still not back to my databases. Lavinia Jenkins was definitely Thomas Lee's wife. Banks Methodist Church is in the same general part of Granville Co - 3-4 miles from Gray Rock Church. These are descendants of Willis Nelson Harris, son of Hanson Harris (and Marina Cole), who was a son of Ransom and Susan (Sucky) Highfield. I don't remember the names in the Harris Family Cemetery that you listed, but from the directions, I know that it's very close to the Gray Rock Cemetery that you mentioned in your post earlier this week. These Harrises could be of the same family. These cemeteries are in southern Granville Co (where all the related Harrises that I know of lived). The other cemeteries you listed are in the northern part of the county. A few lived in Vance Co, but only a short distance across the county line. While this isn't always a reliable theory, from my research, it seems that these Harrises stayed in the same general area. Must have liked each other. : ) Caroline Sent from my Verizon Droid X2 On Jun 14, 2012 10:26 AM, "Ira Harris" <barebear@insightbb.com> wrote: > Source: Granville County, North Carolina Genweb > > Granville County, North Carolina Cemeteries, Volume 1- 5 > Compiled by Granville County Genealogical Society 1746, Inc. > > This is the second listing of cemeteries that have only a few Harris > graves in them. > > Name of Cemetery > Name(s) of Harris' in that cemetery > > BULLOCK UNITED METHODIST CHURCH > 27.
