    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: BevHarris91 Surnames: Johnson, Harris, Corn, and Cummins Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.jackson/6746.2.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Charlie, I included the statement about the Martin Corn Cemetery off the Schoonover Road for completeness sake, not inferring that either Schoonovers or Johnsons were buried there. In fact, only Corns and decendants are buried there, according to my copy of the census of that tiny graveyard. Yes, the site is back north of the Schoonover Road, and is completely overgrown by a thicket of weeds and trees. It is located north of a set of white bee hives. After I waded through "stick-tights" and cockleburrs to reach the site, I discovered that it was easier to go back to the intersection of Gibson Rd. and Schoonover Rd. and walk about 200 yards east from the north side of the house on the corner to the north side of this cemetery. The location of this site had been lost to this generation of Harrises and Corns. These Corns followed my line of Harrises from Patrick Co., VA to Jackson Co., MO in 1833, and there have been many intermarriages ever since. We may be fairly close kin through the Wyatts and Fleming Harris! My older sister's best friend in the New Liberty Church was a Wyatt. I have already previously noted that Samantha Jane Johnson married Josiah William Harris, son of Fleming. Samantha Jane & Josiah Harris had a daughter named Dora Inez Harris to married Thomas Durbin Wyatt. Below are two more examples of which I am aware. Before I read your latest mailing, I had already found your address on E. Pink Hill Road using the white pages of the Internet. My phone number is (417)-326-5338, and I have yours. Phone me sometime, and I will give you my e-mail address, so we can communicate directly. Sinia Catherine Harris, daughter of Fleming Harris, married George Washington Ingram. They had a son named Joseph David Ingram, who married Lula Leona Wyatt. Silas David Harris, son of Fleming Harris, married Samantha Florence Snodgrass. They had a son named Jonah Cleveland Harris, who married Nettie Wyatt. At least two of the above-mentioned Wyatts were children of James Wyatt and Mary Kidwell. Also, the custodian of the Harris-Bridges Cemetery at Blue Springs (maybe rural Independence), who lives next door to the cemetery is a Wyatt, and claims kin to me. You may have known a family named Moore who, at one time, lived on Highway H, a short distance north of Oak Grove. I remember one time going past their house going north and turning on Pink Hill Road in order to go to Pink Hill. She was Marie (Beggs) Moore, sister to my mother, and his name was Harley Moore. Their children were Joann, Harold, and Ralph. The parents are deceased, Joann lives in Lee's Summit, and Harold and Ralph live at Leavenworth, KS, both retired from TWA of Kansas City International Airport. Another time, we can explore kinships with the Cummings (Cummins) and Corns, if you wish. Bev Harris Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
