You asked about an Elizabeth Harris who married a Uriah Davis, Madison Co., KY. I cannot presently answer your question. Share with us what you know about Uriah Davis. With his somewhat uncommon first name, we may be able to better get a bead on him and his parents/children. In order to eliminate some steps in your research, I am sharing the following: It seems that you can eliminate this particular Elizabeth Harris, daughter of Overton Harris of Madison Co., KY, who died testate ca 1827. This Elizabeth Harris later Tevis was a sister to my ancestress Carlisle Harris, who married Michael Lowery Stoner. Carlisle died in Texas ca 1859 soon after the family's migration there. I am sharing with others, in the hope that some of this Elizabeth Harris's descendants will enlighten me about the Tevis family. ELIZABETH HARRIS, DAUGHTER OF OVERTON HARRIS. We know little of Elizabeth Harris II, other than the identity of her parents and her husband, Joseph H. Tevis. A cemetery record gives this information: Harris - Daughter - Dau of Overton & Nancy - 21 Oct 1811 - 23 Jun 1842 (Kathy & Bill Vockery, MADISON COUNTY [KY] CEMETERY RECORDS [Richmond, KY: 1999], p. 52) Presumably, this is Elizabeth Harris Tevis. However, the 1850 census for Madison Co., KY lists on page 302 an Elizabeth Tevis, age 40. Is this the former Elizabeth Harris? If the cemetery inscription is correct, then she is a different Elizabeth Harris. Because we know the marriage date of Elizabeth Harris, we deduce the cemetery record refers to her. We know Elizabeth had at least one child who reached adulthood--Nancy Tevis, who married William Wilkerson 23 Dec 1845. Christopher C. Harris was the guardian of the bride as well as the bondsman. Joseph Tevis, father of the bride, was deceased. Possibly another child was James Tevis, whose name appears with his probable maternal aunts and uncles in a Madison Co. deed ca. 1866. The name of Nancy Tevis appears in the deed, indicating that the mother is probably deceased. (A previous Tevis-Harris marriage in Madison Co., KY: Tevis, Nathaniel & Nancy Harris (Burgin scratched out); 15 Aug 1797; Thomas Burgin, bondsman; Dennis Burgin, father of bride. This is a confusing entry in Vockery's transcription of Madison Co. Marriages.) We do not know how Elizabeth's husband may have been related to Napoleon G. Tevis, who got married earlier that year--1829--to Rachel Jane Miller. Dudley Tribble (qv) was bondsman; Polly Tevis, mother of groom, gave consent, and father of bride, Robert Miller also gave consent.
