Hi Doug, I am always looking for info on the Park, Henderson, Harris and other families of Madison Co., KY. I sometimes wonder if we will ever figure it all out. I am interested in Henry Harris. You said: "(Henry) Gave two negroes to gr dau Rhoda Dillingham in 1830, at Madison Co Ky." " On 1 Apr 1816, he (Henry) attended estate sale of Wm Harris, deceased, purchased a waistcoat, a pair of shears. Other Harris's at sale were Foster Harris, Overton Harris, and Polly Harris. A few questions: 1. Who was the William Harris d: ca 1816? 2. How was he related to Henry Harris? 3. Is Rhoda Dillingham the one who married Solomon Park and Ebenezer Wilson? 4. Was Overton Harris the Overton Harris 1782-1827 who married Nancy Oldham? __________________________________ Henry appeared before Christopher Harris when applying for his pension in 1832 in Madison Co., KY. Was this Christopher Harris who married Sarah Wallace? Was Henry Harris related to Christopher Harris? ___________________________________ Do you know anything about this Samuel Harris? 1. SAMUEL1 HARRIS was born Abt. 1735, and died October 05, 1796 in Statesville, Rowan Co., NC. He married REBECCA MORRISON August 18, 1758 in Rowan Co., NC.
