Harris b: 1888 m:?, John Harris b: 1892 m:Cora Coulter and Lela Ann Gray, Tim Clurie Harris b: 1898 was said to have married a Laney and had two daughters and a fever or something that was killing people in that area killed the wife and one daughter and the other daughter was said to have been raised by the grandfather Laney who at one time moved to Florida, not sure what happen to the daugther but heard she took the name Laney. next child of Andrew and Margaret was Thomas Bedford Harris b: 1901 m: Edith Whittaker, twins Della and Zora b: 1905, Della m: Mike Cornelius and Zora m: Raymond Locke.
