Or just trying to find someone that is a descendent of this family. It's unclear what your needs are. If you are a descendent the 1840 Census has Oliver Harris: Name: Oliver Harris Township: New Market County: Highland State: Ohio Roll: 403 Page: 77 On the 1850 Census in the same County there is a Mary Harris living with what probably is her son Robert. Name: Mary Harris Age: 73 Estimated birth year: abt 1777 Birth place: Maine Gender: Female Home in 1850 (City,County,State): New Market, Highland, Ohio Page: 210 Roll: M432_694 The City of Hillsboro is in New Market Twp. Based on this info, you may want to post a message to the Highland County Mail List or check the queries to see if anyone is researching the Harris Surname. I would suggest that you list in your email what specifically you are looking to help the reader identify your needs. Chyrl Lawrence-Bulger Clermont County Coordinator OHGenWeb
