My great-grandfather was Rufus Marion Harris (b. 1858 in Alabama d. 1934 in Alabama). I was wondering if you could help me find his parents? I believe that they could be William Washington Harris (b. 1820 in either GA or AL d. 1910 in AL) and Elizabeth Ann Clanahan.  However, I have no records to verify this, he is buried with them.  Might you have any data on Rufus M.'s parents or on William Washington Harris' parents?  I have hit a complete wall here. Thank you very much! Joshua [  [email protected]  ] 2. Jimmy Chisholm  [doesn't have a computer but is coming on 4/26 ] Hi, I had a Jimmy Chisholm stop bylooking for  information on Arthur Harris's dau Sarah Myrick who married a  Chisholm  and we were looking at the land grants for Arthur Harris, and found a  Tax deed for 1799, which list a Arthur Harris Esq.
