    1. [TNMADISO] HARRIS
    2. I am hoping someone can help with a couple of things not easily accessed from here on the West Coast. 1. I need a lookup in the 1877 List of Madison Co., TN Land Owners. Apparently this was published in "Family Findings", way back in 1972-1973. I'm looking for BENJAMIN J. HARRIS who lived in the 7th District. ~~~~~ 2. I found this wonderful, abstracted information online, and am wondering how I can obtain a copy of the actual documents~~hoping for additional clues? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
