John Gillison, son of my daughter, Ann Gillison, remainder of estate, sufficient for his schooling... I appoint three friends, James Nash, Stephen Harris, and Larkin Nash, executors. Date: 3 January 1792 Wit: George Nash, James Thornhill, Valentine Nash. Rec:September 2(?),1792. >From what I have been able to figure out, Mary (Gillison)Harris was the wife of Stephen Harris. Karenhappoch (Gillison) Harris was the wife of Benjamin Harris. Benjamin and Stephen were the sons of Claiborne "Ned" Harris and his wife, Judith ___________. This is part of the line that descends through Robert Harris of Ware Creek, and York County, Virginia. Robert's son, Thomas, was the father of Claiborne "Ned". Any insight or additional information concerning these Harris' or Gillison's is appreciated. Please respond through HH or H-SC so that others may be helped. Ira L. Harris III Evansville, Indiana
