Rose, We don't know the names of most of his daughters. We know that our William's wife was named Sarah, maiden name unknown. Their oldest son was Silas [possibly William? Silas] Harris, b. 1775, who lived in Surry Co. on the South Fork of Mitchell River from 1804 until his death after 1850 [his wife was Edith Franklin, the daughter of John & Sarah "Sallie" Lewis Franklin of South Fork, Mitchell River.] Silas & Edith's children were: William Lewis [m. Hannah SMITH of Wilkes Co.], Joel [m. Sarah NORMAN of Surry Co.], John [m. (1) UNKNOWN; m. (2) Hannah LOWDEN of Surry], Sarah? [m. William GREEN & living 1850 in Wilkes Co. with her younger brother, Ambrose], Ambrose [m. Lucinda FIELDS & moved to Wilkes], Elizabeth? [m. Bird SNOW?], James [n.m. & d.s.p.], an unidentified DAUGHTER b. ca. 1814; Squire Henderson [m. Phebe/Feriba FIELDS & moved to Wilkes],Edith "Eada" [d.s.p.], and Mary Candace [unmarried, BUT had 5 children.] Then we are missing their eldest DAUGHTER, b. ca. 1785. Their third child was Mary Harris, b. 1789, who never married and appears to have had no children. Their fourth child was Lucinda "Lucy" Harris, who married Daniel FIELDS and lived her life in Wilkes Co. Daniel & Lucy's known children were: an unidentified DAUGHTER b. ca. 1818, Sarah "Sally" [d.s.p.], an unidentified DAUGHTER b. ca. 1821, an unidentified DAUGHTER b. ca. 1823, Rachel b. 1824/25 [d.s.p.], John W. FIELDS [m. twice, first wife unidentified, but had issue with her; m. (2) Charity DICKERSON---no children], and Elizabeth Fields, b. 1828/29 [d.s.p.] Lucy's husband, Daniel FIELDS was a Justice in Wilkes. Their fifth child was an unidentified SON, b. ca. 1792--- moved away to parts unknown. Their sixth child was an unidentified SON, b. 1795/96--- moved away to parts unknown. Their seventh child was an unidentified DAUGHTER, b. ca. 1797. [Possibly Margaret Harris, who married Joseph FIELDS of Wilkes Co.?] Their eighth child was James HARRIS, b. 1799 in Ashe Co., NC; married Frances "Franky" FIELDS in Wilkes Co. His father lived with him in 1840 in Wilkes Co.; in 1850, James still lived in Wilkes; by 1860, he had moved to Surry Co., where he lived on the South Fork of Mitchell River close to his oldest brother, Silas. James stayed there until sometime in the 1870's. By 1880, his wife Franky had died, and James was living in Ashe Co. in the household of his son-in-law, William RICHARDSON & James' daughter, Elizabeth Harris Richardson. James & Franky Fields Harris' children were William [Rev. Wm., m. Caroline POE of Surry], John [m. Julia HAYNES/HAINES of Surry Co.], Squire [m. Sarah "Sallie" WILMOTH], Elizabeth [m. William RICHARDSON of Surry, later Ashe Co.], James W. [m. Sally A. CAUDILL], Noah [not married in 1870, no record after that], Frances "Franky" [d.s.p.], and Joseph Martin harris [m.(1) Nancy CAUDILL; m. (2) Mary E. UNKNOWN; 1880, next door to William & Elizabeth Harris Richardson in Ashe Co., NC]. Their ninth child was an unidentified SON, b. 1801/02. Every proven grandchild of Will & Sarah Harris had children, unless they were noted as d.s.p. above. By 1920 and 1930, there were descendants of Will & Sarah Harris in North Carolina [at least Surry, Ashe, Wilkes, Alleghany, Caldwell, and Yadkins Cos.], Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Idaho, and Washington State. We know there must be many more out there who don't know they are descended from Will & Sarah Harris of Culpeper, Virginia & Surry/Ashe/Wilkes Cos., North Carolina. We would love to reattach what must surely be huge missing branches of our Harris family tree. Our Will Harris moved to North Carolina from Culpeper with two friends. He appears to have been really close friends with Thomas WALSH/WELSH/ WELCH, who lived next door to Will in 1790 in Wilkes Co., NC [on the other of Will & Sarah was the mysterious Susannah Harris, who had been living WITH them in 1787.] Thomas Walsh [etc.] was the son of a man of the same name who lived in Orange Co., VA; Thomas appears to have remained in NW NC for a number of years, but he returned to Orange Co., Virginia, and died there. The other man who appeared in both Culpeper, VA and Wilkes, NC was a Thomas GRIMSLEY, who appears to have been a younger man, and was probably was a boy in 1776 in Culpeper. I don't know exactly who this Thomas GRIMSLEY's children were, but I suspect there was some intermarriage between his children and at least the brother of Edith Franklin Harris [William Lewis FRANKLIN of Surry.] One person I have not been able to clearly identify, but who was in Culpeper Co., VA in 1782 and was a minor, was a James HARRIS, who was recorded in the household of a Susannah WILLIAMS there. There was a record a year or two before that in the Minutes of St. Mark's Parish of Culpeper that mentioned a James HARRIS having small pox---possibly that James was my Will Harris' brother? And the minor James Harris of 1782 may have been Will's nephew??? "A" James HARRIS patented land in Ashe Co., NC in 1800 or 1801, but had disappeared by 1810. Was he our William's nephew? And where did he end up?
