Hi Don, I am still working on David Harris parents. I do know Samuel Harris, Sr. and wife Esther unknown were in Prince William County, Virgina deeds starting in 1740. Samuel Harris, Sr. and wife Esther unknown had four sons named Samuel Jr., David, Joseph and William. Fairfax County, Va. was formed from Prince Willliam in 1742 and Loudoun County was formed from Fairfax in 1757. The Harris family were in all three counties. They were Quakers. I have not proven which son of Samuel Harris, Sr. and his wife Esther unknown my David Harris, whose will is on file in Allen County in 1842, descends from. It looks like I am still lacking a hook up of one generation. I have seen a book on Allen County which describes David Harris in Allen County and he was a county official. I think he was in Warren County as early as 1808 if memory serves me correct. I don't have data in front of me right now. I hope this helps. I will correspond with those who are seeking info on this family but I am stuck on which son David descends from of Samuel Harris, Sr and Esther in Virginia.

There are a couple of Harris researchers on this forum and you surely got my attention with this. Mine were in Warren County, Allen Co., and vicinity from Ca: 1800 on. Thanks, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: marianne dillow To: KYALLEN@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 9:16 AM Subject: [KYALLEN] Hardy and Harris My 5th great grandparents are Solomon Hardy and Martha unknown. I descend from their daughter Elizabeth who married David Harris in Loudoun County, Virginia. Solomon Hardy's lineage has been proven and is as follows : (1) William Hardy (immigrant) died 1718 married Elizabeth unknown. Lived in Charles County, Maryland. (2) William Hardy died 1740 Prince George's County, Maryland. He married Ann Stimson, daughter of Solomon Stimson (Stimpton) and Elizabeth Finch. (3) William Hardy born 9 Feb 1720 St. John's Parish at Broad Creek, Prince George's County, Maryland. Married unknown. (4) Solomon Hardy born 1746/49 in Prince George's County, Maryland. He married Martha unknown. Solomon lived in Loudoun County, Virginia 1757-1791. He moved to Bedford County, Virginia where his first deed is dated in 1791. Martha died after a 1805 deed. Solomon's will was written 12 Nov 1824 and proved 23 May 1825 in Bedford County, Va. and the estate sale was 26 Jan 1826. Litigation continued to 1829. Solomon Hardy was named after his grandfather, Solomon Stimson and a uncle, Solomon Hardy, born ca 1732 that married Rachel Livers, daughter of Arnold Livers and Mary Ann Drane. In past research, there has been much confusion betwween my Solomon Hardy born 1746/49 and his uncle, Solomon Hardy, born ca 1732 who married Rachel Livers. My next grandparents, Elizabeth Hardy married David Harris in Loudoun Co., Va. They moved to Bedford Co., Va. and to Allen County, Ky. David died in Allen County in 1842 and Elizabeth died ca 1851. I descend from their son, Joel Hardy Harris who married Sarah Ogles and their son James W. Harris who married Louisa Agnes Guy. She was the daughrer of Larkin Guy and Frances "Fannie" Waggoner of Allen County. This is to all that have researched this family through the years.
