I research the family of Major Robert Harris of Louisa Co., VA and his wife Mourning Glen. He is the son of William Harris and his wife Temperance Overton, all accounts say. At any rate, Robert had a son Tyree Harris (one of many who seem to have borne that name) whose first wife was reportedly a Chapman. This is what I have gathered about an Elizabeth Chapman, the widow of .... I wonder if she may be the first wife of Tyree Harris, who migrated to Orange Co., NC, part of which became Caswell Co., NC in 1777. His second wife was .... Simpson. Here is some of the work I have done on a female named Elizabeth Meriwether, whose mother was Jane Chapman. I wonder if she is the wife of Tyree Harris. (Tyree is not my direct ancestor, but he married 2nd) ca 1763 probably in Orange Co., NC one Mary Ann Simpson, one of several daughters of my ancestor Richard Simpson the elder of Orange and Caswell Co., NC. I am descended from Tyree's brother Christopher Harris who migrated from Albemarle Co. to Madison Co., KY where he died.) ELIZABETH CHAPMAN. WIFE OF TYREE HARRIS. Her maiden name is given in Malcolm Hart Harris, "Three William Harrises in Hanover County," VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST, V. 22. It is taken from "an authentic family record" furnished by the late Hon. John T. Harris of Harrisonburg, VA. Refer to biography of Tyree Harris for instance in which Elizabeth joined him in a deed. Is it possible that Elizabeth Chapman had been married previously to a man named Meriwether, or is this Elizabeth Meriwether the mother of Jane Chapman? The following deed indicates that Chapman property in Louisa Co., VA had been surveyed by Tyree's father, Robert Harris. Although relationships are unknown, the document indicates a Chapman family was known in Louisa Co. Louisa Co. DB A-409-410 1 Nov 1750.
