Lewis, Suggest you check out the RI Historical cemeteries database. Unfortunately, there are tons of Mary Harris' and w/o more dates than you provided, its not possible for me to narrow down the list much. James and Thomas etc may be here as well. What worked for me was locating the possible candidates and then cross checking them with others of the same surname in the same cemetery. I'd start with the Harris pages rather than the search. Once you find a decent match for Mary, do a find on that page for the same cemetery #. The main page will take you to a listing of cemeteries which will describe their location. This database isn't 100% accurate but it is a good start. Once you get some possible dates, you can try the archives for death records, at least for the children, and work back from there. Below is the Harris page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/cemetery/cemetery156.html Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
