VA DEED BOOKS A AND B, 1742-1759 [Bellevue, WA: Privately published, 1976], p. 71) Comment 1: Tyree Harris's reported first wife was Elizabeth Chapman. His second wife, whom he married in North Carolina [he is found in records of Orange Co., NC and of Caswell Co., NC where he died testate] was Mary Ann Simpson. Comment 2: Benjamin Harris's relationship to this family is a puzzle. It is unknown whether he is the brother or the son of Robert Harris, but probably the former--a brother. If anyone on this list is descended from Tyree Harris and from either wife, I would be pleased to share information with you. E.W.Wallace
