Dear Harris-Hunters and researchers of Harris families in other venues, A subscriber has asked that I share with her some of my notes about Tyree Harris, son of Major Robert Harris of colonial Louisa Co., VA and sometimes of Albemarle Co., VA. My notes are voluminous [7 or 8 pages--a Harris who left a paper trail!] but this is an excerpt of a probable younger Tyree Harris. I speculate that because the older Tyree Harris was of North Carolina in the 1760s or perhaps before, this younger man may be the son of Tyree's brother, Christopher Harris, later of Madison Co., KY, where he named a son Tyree in his will. If you have corrections or comments, please share. We learn from one another. Submitted by E.W.Wallace Albemarle Co.
