The following references to early Harris families were found in the land records of Franklin C., TN; Family lists were at best somewhat confusing plus I didn't take time to actually photo copy the record; I just wrote hurried notes. Edward Harris - January 1809; New Bern, NC Edward Harris; Military Service of Wm Meeks, State of North Carolina (warrant #) 2018; 20 Aug 1785; assignee E. Harris of Meeks (Meeks apparently bought the property and then resold it to Edward Harris Thomas K Harris; sale of slaves Samuel Harris Edward Harris, deceased; re. John Strother attorney in fact for James, William, Samuel, heirs of Andrew Harris, Samuel, Abner, Eli Harris, Margaret Rosborough, Mary McCollum, Rebecca Provence, (Mrs. Andrew Provence) Martha Sloan (Mrs. Robert Sloan) Permelia McCord (Mrs. Robert McCord, Lydia Stephenson (Mrs. John Stephenson,) Heirs of Edward Harris Brother - James Harris Sister - Peggy Rosborough Restated; Edward Harris was an heir of Andrew Harris. I think that the others were the heirs of Edward Harris. Samuel Harris 1814 (father of) Isaac Halen Harris and Samuel Overton Harris Isham Harris Robert B / or William B Harris - the record was unclear; mentions William B. Harris of Madison County, AL and Isaac Patrick Harris of Tuscaloosa County, AL. E or Eli Harris of Wilson County, TN; attorney for the heirs of late Judge Harris of New Bern, NC Samuel A Harris to John Harris, Franklin County, TN Samuel A Harris to Samuel Harris Peter Harris - witness to the record was Nehemiah Harris (my note: of Lawrence County, AL? ) Miniah Harris James Harris Sr. to Sarah Harris (love and affection for his daughter, Sarah for land originally patented by Samuel Harris Sr. deceased. Samuel A Harris and Sarah his wife; refers to Fergus Harris; Wilson County, TN. My original interest in Franklin County, TN was to find references to Mark M Harris which I had noticed in the land record index. However, Mark M Harris was only in the land records in conjunction with some estate business for Anthony Gilliam, deceased. Kristina Harris
