If Effie Harris's maiden name was Rogers, an Effie D Rogers, daughter of David W and Mattie L Rogers, was born abt 1908 and raised in Manatee Co., Florida, the first county south of Hillsborough Co., FL where the family of Courtland Harris lived. A bachelor brother of her father, named "Jos" (shown in other census years as Josiah or Joseph),lived with the family in 1910.
