For Harris Hunters who suspect your Virginians [or North Carolinians or Pennsylvanians or even Tennesseans] went to Kentucky, here is an excerpt from MADISON COUNTY KENTUCKY - Index to Willis [from FHL film 183,265] Harris surnames only - middle number is Will Bk & page; last number is year Christopher - A-54 - 1794 Thomas A-342 - 1806 Margaret B-47 - 1814 Overton D-331 - 1827 James O. M-177 - 1856 Wiley W. O-345 - 1861 Robert P-57 - 1863 Albert R-330 - 1865 Christopher T-502 - 1871 William U-380 - 1872 J. V. 1-213 - 1882 Elizabeth 1-270, 1884 Clark 2-50, 1892 (The only persons I can tell you about are the 1794 Christopher and one of his younger sons, Overton Harris, 1827. You will have to order the probate films yourself or write to the Madison Co. court and request the will. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has many films for Madison Co., parts of which I understand later became six other counties!) If your Harris in Madison Co. (or any other place in Kentucky) died without a will, search the probate and court records for an administration, inventory, estate sale, guardianship, etc. Also, by reading deeds, I have discovered tha in later Kentucky Commissioners deeds (indexed in the grantor indexes under C) often have to do with sales of partitoned lands by the heirs. Even though the heirs do NOT always give their places of residences, by studying the census indexes for Missouri (and occasionally the marriage records), I have found that the heirs and/or their spouses have returned to Madison Co. from out-of-state. You are indeed fortunate when the residences of the heirs are given. (Lots of detective work in genealogy. That's why so many retired folks do this--it takes LOTS of time.) E.W.Wallace
