WILLIAM HARRIS, son of John HARRIS and Mary HAMILTON was born 15 July 1789 in Washington County, PA. When still a young man he left his native State, wended his way to the wilds of Ohio, where there were more indians and wild beasts than white men. He married Geulie Elma GREGG 21 Sep 1815. He entered Government land in Bloomfield Township, Richland, but now Morrow County, Ohio. There he erected his log cabin, and they underwent the hardships and privations that men and women in those days were obliged to endure. He cleared up a farm in what was called the beech woods, where he resided until the fall of 1835, when he sold his farm and removed with his family to Logan County, Ohio, where he resided until 1860, when he again caught the spirit of emigration, and removed, in company with some of his children, to Cedar County, Iowa. There he resided the balance of his life, dying 11 Feb 1863. He was buried in Shuren Cemetery in Cedar County, Iowa. His wife died, 13 Aug 1864 and was buried beside her husband.
