Hello all, I am sending this to everyone in the hope that someone knows more of these families and hopefully it will help someone find that "missing link" Especially interested in this family, believe this to be John Harris, Sr of Rockingham Co. NC of which I am very interested in as a possible ancestor of mine. Does anyone have more information on this family?? --------------------------------------- John Harris R4660, NC Line, a daughter, Charlotte Harris applied 5, Feb 1835 in Orange Co. NC & stated soldier d. 10, Aug 1832 leaving no widow but left children; TEMPE, FANNY, CLAYBOURN, ELESHA, VINEY, SUSAN AND CHARLOTTE HARRIS, Soldier was aged 71 when he died and lived in Chatham Co. NC at enlistment. NOTE BY SELF: Don't believe age to be accurate as this would have made him 15 at the time of enlistment (b. abt 1761) --------------------------------------- John Harris W21247 application by wife Jane, NC Line, soldier lived in Mecklenburg Co.
