    1. [HH] An Early Samuel Harris of Madison Co., KY
    2. You were asking about a Samuel P. Harris. I am not sure this is the answer to your question. I do not have time to do further research at this time. I suggest you do a <A HREF="www.google.com">www.google.com</A> search for Christopher Harris [put in quotation marks], and I believe an undocumented descendancy chart will appear for Christopher Harris. There are some major errors in it, which should be checked against actual Madison Co. records. Much of this chart was based on a flawed genealogy by W. H. Miller, published many decades ago, if not a century ago. Several books of Madison Co. marriage records, cemetery records, court records have been published in the last few years, and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City has MANY films of this early Kentucky county. The deeds make an interesting full-time job!!! E.W.Wallace Rev Nov 2002 SAMUEL HARRIS, SON OF CHRISTOPHER HARRIS. b. 1 Sep 1777 His birthdate, apparently unconfirmed, is taken from DAR application 598925. Those of his siblings and most of the marriages are given, indicating the applicant MAY have used a Bible record. According to a letter from a distant cousin, he died ca. 1840. This needs to be verified. According to marriage records of Madison Co., KY, Samuel Harris lived in Madison Co., KY. He was the father of Agnes McCord Harris who married Milton Oldham in 1831 in Madison Co. (I believe Milton Oldham is found later in the census indexes for Missouri ca 1850 or so.) Questionable: He probably is the Samuel Harris who married Sarah Province, 1 Sep 1795. Her mother was Mary Provine [sic], and Andrew Province was bondsman. More research is needed. Other records, not thoroughly examined, are that his wife was Nancy Wilkerson. More research needs to be conducted. Note that on 2 Sep 1820, John Province married Anne McCord, John McCord, father of bride. The McCords no doubt were related to Agnes McCord Harris, second wife of Christopher Harris, the father of Samuel Harris, the subject of this abbreviated bio.
