    3. Hello, I am researching my Harris family that came from Tuscarawas Co., Ohio and migrated to Owen Co., IN. JACOB S. HARRIS, my great-great-grandfather, was born in Ohio abt. 1838 and died in Owen Co., 11 Mar 1914. He married Margaret BALDER, Margaret was born in Germany. Most of the children listed below were born in Tuscarawas Co. Jacob and Margaret had 12 children. I have a copy of Jacob's will and he states all of the children below except Charles and Andrew Harris. My great-grandfathers obituary, Phillip Harris, states he had a brother Charles that lived in Ohio in 1948. That is how I know of him. These are Jacob and Margaret's children: 1.)Phillip Harris, my great-grandfather, born in Tuscarawas Co., Ohio 28 Feb 1864 and died 29 Dec 1948 in Marion Co., IN, married his wife, Olive (Ollie) SUMMERS in Owen Co., IN. 17 Aug 1890. Phillip and Ollie moved to Clay City, Clay, IN where they had their children. 2.) Jacob J. Harris, married Lucy FRANK in Owen Co., 18 May 1895. 3.) Margaret (Maggie) Harris, born 6 Jul 1878 married Jacob GRAFE, 17 Oct 1914 in Owen Co. 4.) Rose (Rosy) Harris married John KIEFFABER, 22 Oct 1902 in Owen Co. 5.) Julia A. (Juliann) Harris, born in Tuscarawas Co., Ohio Mar 1870, married John G. STEINER/STINER, 9 Jan 1890 in Owen Co. 6.) Katie (Catharine) Harris married Adam FRANK 24 Jun 1888 in Owen Co. 7.) Ada Harris, born 17 May 1887 married Harry B. SUMMERLOT 19 Feb 1907 in Owen Co. 8.) John S. Harris married Sarah O. SPEARS 25 Dec 1901 in Owen Co. 9.) Lizzie (Elizabeth) Harris married Christian M. WILLEN 31 Jan 1893 in Owen Co. 10.) Mary Harris married John KAISER 29 Oct 1899 in Owen Co. 11.) Andrew Harris born in Tuscarawas Co., Ohio 23 Jan 1872, married Caroline FRANK in Owen Co. 12.) Charles Harris, no info. Is anybody researching Harrises in this county? Anybody ever hear of Jacob? Thank you...any information is greatly appreciated! Carla charris@texas.net
