Fred: I have been reading your posts but too busy to check every day so didn't write. My mother was a HARRIS, from Ellettsville. Her father was JOHN RICE HARRIS, b. 18 May 1849, d. 24 Aug 1929, m. Phebe MATTHEWS. John's father was SAMUEL BOYD HARRIS, son of THOMAS HARRIS, son of WILLIAM HARRIS, son of GEORGE HARRIS b. Scotland. Thomas was b. 1797 in Virginia, d. 16 Jan 1864 in Ellettsville. I have varying amounts of information about this group of Harris relations, including family groups for my mother's uncles and cousins. Related families are MATTHEWS, CHAMBERS, MC CARLEY. There is much to share if we connect. LYNN inAZ

Lynn: Thank you for your response! In looking over my limited things, it seems hin that we are related. However, having said that, do you know of other siblings of GEORGE or THOMAS? If we can make a "link", it would have to be in one of those generations. You really have me intrigued! Thank you again for opening this conversation.
