Dear Ira and others interested in Harrises of Early Granville Co., NC First, thank you for giving us the URL for the early tax lists of Granville Co., NC. Some of these lists were published long ago, if memory serves, in an issue of the North Carolina Genealogical Society Journal (an excellent journal for North Carolina researchers). Second, I do not connect (at least immediately) any of these Harrises with the descendants of William Harris and his wife Temperance Overton of the Pamunkey area Hanover Co. VA Many of these descendants are found later in Louisa and Albemarle Cos. and probably in adjoining counties, such as Amherst. Just a thought for MORE homework for Harris Hunters of Granville Co. I believe there are extant maps of the watercourses in old Granville Co., NC. They may have to be augmented by maps of Vance Co. and Warren Co. These may be held by North Carolina State archives, or perhaps a historical or genealogical society in Granville Co., NC. Why do you need a map of the watercourses? According to some brief lessons I had at the instruction of a DAR genealogist some years ago: 1) Sort out colonial families by the watercourse on which they lived (Granville co. deeds and in some csses the Granville District grants give this info--more homework!!!) 2) Determine who their associates were. Who was the bondsman at the marriage? Who witnessed their deeds and other documents? Who were their neighbors? Deeds and marriage records and court records may help here. Refer to Gwynns or Rackley's books. In my case, I was trying to help a DAR applicant sort out two men by the same unusual name--who lived in adjoining counties in North Carolina (but not Granville Co.). Which one was linked to the applicant? That is when I was given the above instructions. Fortunately for me, we had a previous application on that patriot, and the names of the children of the patriot and their spouses [good clue] were available. I began to research those surnames, particularly of the daughters' spouses, and this helped me immensely in establishing the correct identity. Granville Co. is fortunate to have so many surviving records. The old books by Zae Hargett Gwynn were of immense help to me, and the newer ones (deeds and wills) by Timothy Rackley are even more detailed. Brent H. Holcomb transcribed the marriage bonds and Geneal. Publ. Co. published them several years ago. There are some errors, of course, but since the book is indexed, this shortens your task a good deal. Also, if I remember correctly, the Family History Library has films of the devisor and devisee indexes (listed under probate records), and, even without reading the estate papers, one can generally figure out family relationships. I am told that more and more records of Surry Co., VA (some of my ancestors in Granville Co. came from there, but probably by way of Chatham Co., NC) are being transcribed--and discovered. So--I have not solved your problem.
