Dear Madison County Historians and Family Researchers, I am looking for the grave of one of my Revolutionary Ancestors, Henry Harris (1742-1833) m. Ann Byrd. His grave which is rumored to me marked, is supposedly located in Eastern Madison County near Panola, 12 miles East of Richmond, KY. Has anyone seen it or know someone that has? Finding this burial place is important to me. Please E-mail me at: [email protected] See Rev War Pension Info for Henry Harris. He lived to be 92 years old--quite unusual for this era. ***Henry Harris (1742-1833), no information is available as to his service. Buried near Panola, twelve miles east of Richmond.
