Norma, I am confused by your message. Which John Harris are you saying married a Rachael? Are we speaking of the same John Harris, father of George Harris who married Keziah Earl? (i.e., the John Harris who, according to Thurston Titus Hicks, married Elizabeth Watts - supposed sister of Isaac?) I'm not defending T.T. Hicks' research, just trying to make sure I've got the right Harris line here. According to T.T. Hicks in "Sketches" (and i have not attempted to prove any of this), John Earle marrried Zebiah Watts. (He says John Earle was the brother of Keziah Earle who married George Harris). In Sketches, T.T. Hicks lists as the children of John Earle and Zebiah Watts: 1) Martha or "Patsy" - married William Kittrell 2) Mary - married Robert Jones 3) Sarah or "Sally" - married James Crews 4) Jack Ear4l married Fanny Rice and moved to Tennessee 5) Sims died young So I am confused as to this Mary Elizabeth Watts you list as married to John Earl. Is this the same as the Zebiah Watts T.T. Hicks lists? If T.T. Hicks says who Zebiah's parents are, I can't find it. I also can't find what, if any, relationship Zebiah had to the Elizabeth Watts (supposed sister of Isaac) whom T.T. Hicks says was Johb Harris' wife.
