Barb, I don't know which one this is. I have not done much research on this line. I was simply passing it on for posterity. I know that there were at least two, or possibly more, Ransom Harris'. Years ago I figured out that this Harris line was not part of mine, so I did not go any further than a few names.

I also have 2 Ransom Harris' in my family. Ransom Wesley Harris 1783-1841 m Elizabeth Wood 17 Jan 1804 and their son Ransom Wood Harris 1820-1886 m Margaret A Ward.

i've often wondered if the given name of 'Ransom' was a Harris thing, or was it used by other families too. My Archibald Harris....born 1770's in NC, died before 1830 in Fayette Co., Illinois.......had a grandson named Ransom born 1837 in Fayette Co., Illinois, son of Archibald Harris, Jr. ~Mary~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dick & Peggy Johnson" <rbjmmj@comcast.net> To: <harris-hunters@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 8:28 AM Subject: Re: [HARRIS-HUNTERS] Harris - Blackley Families, Granville Co., NC >I also have 2 Ransom Harris' in my family. > Ransom Wesley Harris 1783-1841 m Elizabeth Wood 17 Jan 1804 and their son > Ransom Wood Harris 1820-1886 m Margaret A Ward. > This is in Rowan County (later Davidson County) NC. > Peggy Johnson > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ira Harris" <barebear@insightbb.com> > To: <harris-hunters@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 9:45 AM > Subject: Re: [HARRIS-HUNTERS] Harris - Blackley Families, Granville Co., > NC > > >> Barb, >> >> I don't know which one this is.
