Hi, all, I am Pam Stone Ross, who Ira mentions in his reply to Carol [below.] Additional information on our own line is that, prior to going to that part of Surry Co. that later became Stokes Co., NC in 1786 [and later moving to Wilkes & Ashe Cos., NC, before returning to Wilkes, where he died in 1848---he has descendants in Ashe, Wilkes, Surry, and Alleghany Cos., NC and in a lot of other places in the country that we know of.] Our William Harris, whose descendants' DNA matches that of Ira Harris III, appears to have been possibly the son of a William? Harris of Culpeper Co., VA There was a William HARRIS of Culpeper, VA in 1763 that MAY have been the father of our Will Harris who moved to Surry, NC in 1786. I am trying, but cannot prove this line prior to my William Harris, b. 1752 in VA. This is OUR BRICK WALL. We are so trying to PROVE THIS LINE BEFORE we have it. Any help would so be appreciated.

Richard is the grandson of Robert through his son Robert. 1750-1751 They are in Granville County, North Carolina according to Tax Records and land records. Thank you, Ira, for responding. Since your dates of 1740s then 1750-51 are so close to the date I'm looking at which is 1748 Hanover Co....was your Robert still in Hanover in 1748 that you're aware of? I'm trying to pinpoint who the Robert of St. Martins, Hanover is in a 1748 Amelia deed selling land to my Tho. Harris also of St. Martins Hanover--this Robert rec'd the patent for this Amelia land in 1745. Then, in 1763 there's still a Robert of St. Martins Hanover when my Tho. Jr. sells the same 1748 land back to this Robert. Still yet in 1771, we have a Robert/wife Eliz. of St. Martins Hanover in 1771 P.E. deed selling his P.E. land to Stephen Davis of St. Martins Hanover. Trying to sort out these Robert's. 1) Robert Harris 1737/38 (Partridge Ledger) 2) Robert Harris, Jr 1737/38 (Partridge Ledger) 3) Robert Harris, New Market Mill 1738 (Va Gazette) 4) Robert Harris, Jr. New Market Mill 1738 (Va Gazette) 5) Robert Harris St. Martins Hanover, 1748 Amelia deed (signs, no wife) (sells to my Thomas Harris same Co./Par.) 6) Tho. Jr. of Louisa Co. sells to Robert Harris St. Martins Hanover 1763 P.E. Co. land (Tho. marks his name/wife Saborey) 7) Robert Harris Sep 15, 1769 living near Harrisburg Granville Co. NC (ref: Va Gazette) 8) Robert Harris/Eliz 1771 St. Martins Hanover Co. (marked his P.E. Co. deed sells to Stephen Davis of St. Martins Hanover Co.)
