Thanks to all who answered my message. It seems that I should have posted my lines down, complete with locations before. If I had they would not have been as complete or as together as now. Nathaniel Harris and Martha Byars were ma. on May 29, 1788, now this is the same day that their baby daughter, Polly (b. Apr. 1, 1788) was baptized. Their wedding date is recorded in "Thomasson Traces", "History of Louisa" and "The Douglas Register." I have found in my research that Nathan and Nathaniel were names that were used interchangeably. In 1792 I have record of a deed conveying land from Nathaniel and Martha to Dudley P. Ellis "...in Louisa on Gideon's line." The record of Nathaniel's death in Smyth Co., VA indicates he was a Junior. He died 1854 and the age at death (91) indicates he was born Jan. 20, 1763. He served in the VA Continental Army and guarded prisoners. He received a pension at age 58. Martha and Nathaniel lived in KY for a short time because one of their children was born their. By 1810 they were in Washington Co. in a location that became Smyth Co. (My grandmother was born in Seven Mile Ford. Smyth Co. is the location of "Hungry Mother Mountain". Nathaniel and Martha's Children: Polly b. Apr. 1, 1788 Garrett b. Feb. 19 1792 M. Elizabeth Halfacre (I have more about them and a contact or two if any one wants more). John Harris (no information) Susan b. Jun 1, 1796 m. Zadock Sexton. I do not have their children at this time but I think I can get it. James b. about 1797 in KY. m. Nancy Heninger (they were on the 1750 census with children Alfred b. 1830, NATHAN b. 1832 and Louisa b. 1843. No other information at this time. However I may be able to get more). NATHAN b. about 1798 or '99 m. Rachel Cowden and in 1850 they had one child James b. 1835. When Martha died, Old Nathaniel lived with them. NATHANIEL (3RD?) b. 1801 m. Mary Morris (This is my line and as their are so MANY Nathan's and Nathaniel's you can see why I might believe their is a connection to Nathaniel and Catherine Walton HARRIS. However with the response I have receive these last two days, it can't be) Children of Nathaniel and Mary Morris HARRIS: George Epperson HARRIS b. 1824 m. Mary J. Anderson Children: Alonzo N. Harris b. 1855 Margaret H. Harris b. 1856 John H. Harris b. 1858 Lelia J. Harris b. 1859 James Augustus HARRIS m. 1st Martha Jane Patrick 2nd Margaret M. Patrick ( I Have more about their descendants, please ask). William C. HARRIS m. Sarah Hazelett and moved to Indiana (I have some information, but not much) Henry C. HARRIS m. Fannie Fry and moved to Indiana (I have very little about them) NATHANIEL John HARRIS m. Sarah Ann Copenhaver (Again I have some but not much.) John Thomas HARRIS m. Rachel Caroline Porter (these are my g-grandparents who move to Iowa in 1885 or so. I have tons on them, including pictures and a memoirs of the civil war from J.T. himself. I have just found two second cousins who I found because they were stuck at John Thomas Harris) I have some other Unrelated Iowa Harrises that I would be glad to share. Alfred J. HARRIS b. 1840 m. Mary Elizabeth Box (no other info) Susannah J. HARRIS b. 1842 not married. Mary C. HARRIS b. 1844 m. George Fog Wolfe (no other info) Now, the 1850 Census of Smyth has some other Harrises who I have not yet identified. It seems that they could have all come to Washington Smyth at the same time. 1. Lysander age 21 2. Thomas age 62 and his wife Mary age 52. Children Martha A. age 24; Emily B. age 19; Hiram A. age 15; Walter L. age 13; Rees T age 11; and William H. age 9. 3. Henry and Lucinda Chapman Harris both age 40 with children, Mary E. age 15; Nancy age 13; Susan age 11; John age 9; Helen age 7; NATHAN age 5: and Henry T. age 1. The child Nathan is a clue to me that they may be related to my line. 4. Lilburn H. age 31 and Phebe age 28 and children Mary Elizabeth age 8; Rebecca Jane age 5; William A. age 3; and Anna or Hannah Caroline age 1. Someone working on this line has more information than I do. The birth, death, deed and will records are in good shape in Smyth. 5. Mary HARRIS AGE 22 I also have a Benjamin HARRIS who was deeded land in 1799 in Washington Co. I have not found him later. If this is helpful to anyone and I can provide more I will be very happy. If anyone is searching any of these lines and has more, lets share. I will be looking for more information about the "unidentified but who are possibly related" group. If any of you know more about them let me know the may give me a clue about the origin of "Old Nathaniel Jr. from Louisa. Cheers, Wilma Kelly Wkelly4901@aol.com --part0_919654797_boundary--
