    1. Re: [VACULPEP] [HARRIS-HUNTERS] Another William Harris Rev War veteran
    2. Pam Stone
    3. The William Harris of Culpeper (S41616) referred to enlisted in 1776 in Culpeper, and served through the end of the Revolutionary War, and was pensioned in Wilkes County, North Carolina is my William Harris. He had a large family and has very many descendants. We believe, from all the court documents that he was born in 1752. He died in 1848 in Wilkes County, North Carolina at the remarkable age of 96.

Harris(s) applied for a pension in Vermilion County IL stating that he was born in Culpeper County VA in 1750. The transcription of his pension application, number R4674, can be found along with those of the other Virginia Harrises at southerncampaign.org/pen. This is the 13th William Harris who filed a pension application for service to Virginia. Culpeper County researchers will be especially thrilled, because he is the third William Harris born in that county around 1750. The other two were William Harris (S5489) who applied for a pension in Culpeper County in 1832, and William Harris (S41616) who applied in 1819 and 1820 in Wilkes County NC.
