This is the first time to post to this list , and I would like to see if there is anyone who has or is researching the Harris Line or Bogard Line .in Hardeman or surrounding counties, I am currently trying to gather information concerning Joel Harris a Methodist Minister, who arrived in Hardeman Co. abt 1820, I believe he came from Middle Tn, perhaps Maury Ct, or possibly Edgecomb Ct. N.C. , I'm not sure of which. He had several children born in Hardeman , his oldest daughter Annis b.1812 was my gggrandmother who married James M Bogard (b. 1792 in Tazwell Ct. Va.) . The mystery I'm preplexed about is who was Curtis Bogard ?? , mentioned in Joel Harris will of abt 1850. James and Annis Bogard had five children, Joel H Bogard b. 1839, Jacob S Bogard b. 1841, ( My g Grandfather), John W. Bogard b. 1843, Martha J Bogard b. 1847 and Martin Bogard, b. 1856 There weres no other children of this union , that I know of and since Joel Harris's Will, only mentioned heirs of the Harris Surname, except for Curtris Bogard. (What was this Bogard connection to Joel) Annis and James were married in 1839 a few months before their first child. Joel H Bogard was born, leads me to believe, that maybe Annis or James were married before??? I have several more questions, and would like to communicate with anyone who is researching these lines or has any knowledge of what happened to Joel H, John W. or Martha J. Bogard , they seemed to have vanished beween the 1860's and 1870's Maybe some one could help me to clear up these missing pieces of my puzzle. James and Annis moved to Marshall County Ms. in the 1840's and then on to Tippah County Ms by 1850, where James died in 1856. Would enjoy communicating with any that may see a connection or who may have info on these lines. always glad to share Family information Also researching Mahaffey, Leaths, Woodson connections.
