Dear Carol, Thank you so much for pulling together that information about the colonial Harrises around Little River and New Market, etc. in Hanover Co. I am printing out your message and studying it further. I will have to add to my notes, of course. I have the Partridge [Store] Accounts as published in several issues of the Magazine of Virginia Genealogy but must have overlooked--or got distracted--about Robert Harris et al. (I see in your notes from the Partridge accounts an elusive umpteen great uncle Nathaniel Williams. Because Hanover Co. is a burned county, I call him elusive. He is reported to have had many prominent, politically active--and land acquisitive--sons.) When I acquired some months ago, Norine Campbell Gregory's book SOME ANCIENT LANDOWNERS IN SAINT MARTIN'S PARISH, HANOVER COUNTY, VIRGINIA [Athens, GA: New Papyrus Co., Inc., 2001], I received along with the book a detailed map entitled Hanover County Street Map produced by Hanover Co. Geographic Information System Section, 2l001. It has *New Market Site C* and not too far distant Little River Drive. Also, I see there is *New Market Mill Road*. (It is located south west of North Anna Battlefield County Park.) Another Hanover Co. ancestor, not associated with the Harrises until the late 1890s in Texas, also patented land in this general area. How exciting. Thank you for your generous contribution. It lends dimension to my families. E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi! My thanks to E.W. Wallace for that interesting read on Hanover Taverns and life in the goode olde days. Ken.

Since genealogists will better understand their family histories if they know something of the times in which their ancestors lived, we have to learn local history. A good many persons who migrated to other regions came or at least passed through Hanover Co., VA. I cut this URL from a recent message on the Hanover Co. rootsweb. Take a look. Remove the punctuation which rootsweb adds at the beginning and end of the URL. I am sure the history of taverns and stagecoaches are similar in other colonial areas. _http://www.hanovertavern.org/pages/history.htm_ (http://www.hanovertavern.org/pages/history.htm) E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I am sharing with Harris-Hunters these notes, which seem somewhat disjointed, on William Harris. There are so many William Harrises that it is difficult to sort them out. A great deal of study needs to be devoted to this person--and his like named contemporaries. If you can add--or subtract--to these notes, please share with the Harris-Hunters or VA rootsweb lists, so we can get the records straight. For example, several wives' names are presented. Are these different men with different wives--or did William Harris have serial wives? The deed, cited below, mentioning Christopher Harris fairly well establishes that the widow of his deceased brother William was Elizabeth. Since Christopher Harris was the son of Major Robert Harris, we can establish that by 1777 William Harris, son of Major Robert Harris, was deceased. And that his widow was Elizabeth. E.W.Wallace WILLIAM HARRIS SON OF ROBERT HARRIS, MAJOR. Little is known of William Harris, reportedly born Nov 1752. He reportedly died before 1777, according to the Albemarle Co. deed cited below. William was seemingly under age or ill when his father Major Robert Harris of Louisa Co., VA wrote his will in June 1765. According to Malcolm Hart Harris, author of several articles on the Harris family of Hanover Co., his first wife was a Miss Michie. Another account states his wife was Hannah Jameson. The Albemarle Co. deed cited below involving his brother Chirstopher indicates his widow was Elizabeth. At any rate, he is reported to have died in 1776. More research is needed. Robert Harris's (abstracted) will (W.B. 3-165) in Louisa Co. reads as follows. Robert's widow was Mourning, said to have surname Glen [not sufficiently proved]: 18 June 1765. I August 1765. Son Christopher to have 40 acres of land in Albemarle County, known as "Bears Cornfield." After decease of wife, son William to have all land I now hold in Albemarle County. Sons, Robert, Tyre and William Harris to have slaves. Wife Mowrning (Mourning) to have use of all lands during her life. Son William [who probably was underage] to be under direction of son-in-law John Rodes. Exrs: sons-in-law John Rodes and William Shelton. Wit: Daniel Maupin, John Mullins, Jr, William Maupin and Connerly Mullins. (Rosalie Edith Davis, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEED BOOKS A AND B, 1742-1759 [Bellevue, WA, 1976] shows many Harris males involved in land transactions in that county. Perhaps these Harrises were related because their names appear often in conjunction with others who are related to female lines, i.e., Rice, Dabney, Glen.) We believe, but cannot prove, that this patent may apply to the son of Maj. Robert Harris of Louisa Co. We know from other land records that the Harrises owned land near Moorman's River in Albemarle Co. Patent Bk 42-633: William Harris, 211 acs. Albemarle Co. on the S side of Pasture fence Mountain on some of the Eastern brs. of Moremans Riv., adj his own line; 5 Jul 1774, p. 633, 1 pd. 5 Shillings.

DB C-190 1 Jul 1771. William Harris, Albemarle, to John Diggs, AC [Amherst Co.] for 50 pds., 150 acres on N side of Rockfish. Pat of tract bought by Wm. Harris from Jacob Writh. Lines: Wm.

DB A-227 gives information that William Harris on 2 Jul 1764 bought part of the original 900 acres belonging to Jacob Wright and wife Elizabeth. (ibid, p. 82) In December 2002, one correspondent states that William Harris with wife Henrietta [unknown] is the son of Robert Harris, but we cannot verify this union from the following abstracted deed, which is signed acknowledged by a William Harris with a wife named Elizabeth. Question: Did Elizabeth have two names, or are these distinctly different wives? Furthermore, we cannot identify Samuel Harris, Overton Harris and James Harris. A James Harris is said to have married Mary, the daughter of Robert Harris and is verified to have been son-in-law of Major Robert Harris. Are Samuel and Overton Harris brothers of James Harris, the groom of Mary? Because of the late date of this deed--1786--this person seems NOT to be the same as Robert Harris's son William who died ca. 1776-1777, as indicated in an Albemarle Co. deed cited below. Why is one of the grantors named Hennaretta, and yet the deed is signed by a woman named Elizabeth Harris? Louisa Co.

Is he the William Harris who appears in this Albemarle Co. deed? The association with a male Mechie suggests that he is the same person. Albemarle Co. DB 5-188,189: [blank] day of [blank] 1770 between William Mechie of Fredericksville Par. and Albemarle Co. & William Harris of same... 60 pds. 150 acres .. n. side of Mechams River ...

The name of the widow of William Harris--Elizabeth--appears in a 1777 deed in Albemarle Co Deed Bk 1776-1782, p. 56-58. Abstracted, the deed reads: 8 May 1777 between Christopher Harris and Agnes, his wife, and Elizabeth Harris, the widow of William Harris deced. all of Albemarle Co. to Thomas Garth - two parcels of land 150 acres on N. side of Mechum's River and 336 acres on both sides of Mecham's River ...

Now the said Christopher Harris and Agnes his Wife and said Elizabeth in consideration of ... 100 pounds .. convey to Thomas Garth in fee simple ... two tracts of land containing by estimation 486 acres. (no witnesses recorded) Christopher Harris Agness Harris Elizabeth Harris (Adapted from Ruth & Sam Sparacio, ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEEDS 1776-1778 [McLean, VA: The Antient Press, 1997] pp. 27-29) Apparently, there are two William Harrises with a wife named Elizabeth, one who had died by 1777 as indicated in the Albemarle Co. deed cited above, and one who was very much alive in 1778 in Louisa Co. as indicated in the Louisa Co. deed. Or, conceivably the 1778 deed was recorded after William's death. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Here are some notes I promised--to add to your notes about Robert Harris, Jr., son of Major Robert Harris of colonial Louisa Co., VA and sometimes of Albemarle Co., VA. These are not comprehensive. Others have written or have collected voluminous notes about the Browns. The Brown males are generally easy to spot because of their sometimes unusual first names, frequently beginning with the letter B. (Good idea if your surname is Brown. The Harrises seemed to recycle their first names!) E.W.Wallace LUCRETIA BROWN. A series of deeds in Albemarle Co. refer to Lucretia (Brown) Harris and to her husband, Ro. Harris, Jr. Lucretia's mother is reportedly Sarah Dabney (not confirmed). (Robert Harris is called Junr in the deeds but in reality is of a said-to-be long line of Robert Harrises.) Robert, Jr. is said to have had a great-grandfather called Robert Harris. Whether Robert I is the immigrant ancestor is difficult to prove, due to paucity of documents for colonial New Kent Co. Although this great-grandfather, the said-to-be-father of William Harris, whose wife was Temperance Overton of Hanover Co., allegedly was married to a Mary Claiborne, noted Virginia genealogist John Frederick Dorman, in his recent history of the Claiborne family, says there is no proof of such a marriage. At any rate, Lucretia Brown and Robert Harris may have been married ca 1748 as implied in a deed index of Albemarle Co. The deed itself has not been read. However, the grantee may have been the elder Major Robert Harris of Louisa Co., father of Robert Harris, Jr. Deed Items: Cross Index of Parties [Albemarle Co., VA] Page Grantor Grantee 360 - May 1748 Benj.

I've missed what this thread was about, but there was a Joseph Cary Eggleston, born 1812, reportedly in Amelia County, Virginia. He moved to Switzerland County, Indiana and married Mary Jane Craig. They were the parents of two famous authors, Edward Eggleston and George Cary Eggleston.

It's a conundrum. I have so far six Meriwether Smiths in Virginia, and I wish I knew if they were all related or not. Here is what I have, with hopes that some of the others on the list can help with corrections and clarifications: 1) Meriwether Smith (1730-1790) son of Francis Smith and Lucy Meriwether, married 1) Alice Lee and 2) Betsy Dangerfield. This is the Essex Meriwether Smith, the history book Meriwether Smith. 2) Meriwether Smith, son of the above and Betsy Dangerfield 3) Meriwether Smith (1769-1838), son of William Smith and Elizabeth Young. He married Sally Payne, had ten children, and died in Roane County, Tennessee, where there was also John Smith T, who was a cousin to the Essex Meriwether Smith. (Is this Meriwether your ggg grandfather, Cricket?) 4) Meriwether Smith, son of the above. 5) Meriwether Smith (1769-1823) son of Bartelot/Bartlett Smith and Frances Anderson. He married Judith Woodson Chiles (d. 1818) and stayed in Louisa County, had ten children, whose guardian was William F. Toler. (This one is my ggg grandfather) 6) Meriwether Woodson Smith, (1805-1837) son of the above, married Ann McGehee, went to Texas and fought and died there. No children, so no more Meriwethers from him, anyway. Those are all that I have, though I am sure there are more. Any and all comments and corrections are most appreciated.

Thank goodness for a genealogist who recognizes that more than one person can have borne the same name!!! I have to work out the dates--and places--when I find such an event or name. And my lineage is full of common surnames, with many common given names!!! But some people cannot stand to be challenged when you point out this discrepancy to them, and give facts to back up your argument.!!! (Don't confuse me with the facts--my mind is made up). May you find your more modest fellow, Meriwether Smith. Sometimes court records show a person who does not otherwise appear. Nearly everyone sued everyone else, and I am always delighted when I find a female in a court record, although how come she is punished for bearing a bastard child--with lashes on her back. Where is the daddy? I believe there are a few tithable lists which still exist. Do you have access to the online genealogical database called HeritageQuest, which many public libraries subscribe to?
