    3. I haven't found any proof of relationships except for the census record and the will of Evan R. Harris. I have the 1850 census record and it stated the following children in Leodicy's household: Leodicy 64, Elizabeth 35, Leodicy 17, Staunton 18, Ptolomes 11 or 4. Printing is a little difficult to decipher. Since Leodicy was apparently 64, it would be unlikely for her to have had a child so late in life. Not impossible, just unlikely. I have the 1840 census record but couldn't find it right now. I will check it tomorrow but I am fairly certain that Sherod W Harris had several children listed in his household. Also, note that Staunton's age is out of order in comparison with Leodicy. While a mistake could have been made by the census taker, its possible that Staunton was actually Elizabeth's son in addition to Ptolomes. I realize that it may just be coincidental but on the other hand, it might be a clue that the household wasn't exactly the way we think. I've seen him listed as Leodicy's child but I feel more comfortable not making any conclusions that aren't based on actual records. Like I've mentioned before, Sherod W. Harris ended up in Louisiana and then Henderson County, TX. I haven't seen any record stating when or where he died. One other note was that there was an individual named Joshua Harris that was included in the census record about 10 pages away from his household. It may just be coincidental, but it might have been his son. Kristina Harris
