Harris and William Harris...required to render inventory...Witnesses the Hon. William Matthews, W.A. Ross, C.C.O. ************* Over the next several pages the processing of this will is documented (all the way up into 1837). Also mentioned in this process is an Abraham Harris and an Ezekiel Harris [no relationship shown] Lucinda Collins evidently married H. Sutton from the way the Second Return of the Estate of Parker Collins, dated July 13, 1834 reads. Rance B. was evidently married to Eliza. Charley was evidently married to Sarah. William was evidently married to Susan. Can anyone tell me what Harris line these men are from? Are they brothers? Are they related to Abraham or Ezekiel? Any insight is appreciated. Please route your responses through HH or H-GA so that others may be helped. Ira L. Harris III Evv., In.
