    3. Hi again,   After I clicked Send,  I remembered I should remind myself of how many John HARRIS'  were in N.B. for the 1881 census.    There were several born in the 1874 to 1876 timeframe.     This is one in York County:   John HARRIS   M   Male   English   36   New Brunswick   Farmer   Church of England   Fanney HARRIS   M   Female   English   22   New Brunswick      Methodist   Johney HARRIS      Male   English   4   New Brunswick      Methodist   Judson HARRIS   S   Male   English   4   New Brunswick      Methodist   Frederick HARRIS   S   Male   English   2   New Brunswick      Methodist    There is a Sydney HARRIS family in Sunbury County with a young son, John.    And, also a Jonathan HARRIS family in this county.   There is a Thomas HARRIS family in Westmoreland County.     There is a George HARRIS family in Northumberland County.     And there is a Thomas HARRIS family in Gloucester County.   My fuzzy memory thinks I had found out in past years that John Howard HARRIS came from York County.    So, that is possibly his family in  St. Mary's.       And, it looks like he had a twin-brother, Judson HARRIS.      Betty                 (near Lowell, MA, USA)     FYI:   My other connection to York County is that my ancestor, George Freeman WILKINS, and his wife, Mary (NEAL)  were in Canterbury, York, N.B.   between 1860 and 1870's.     George, as a widower, and some of their 10 children, returned to Maine by 1880.        (I think a WILKINS researcher has the parents of Mary NEAL.    I'll have to check my notes.)     And, I think there was an O'NEAL family there,  but Mary's name was NEAL.      From my other posting this morning,  George's daughter, Clarissa, married her cousin, Joseph KIDDER, ~1869 in Princeton, ME.     And, it is their daughter, "Rilla"  who married John Howard HARRIS.
