Thanks so much to everyone for that information on Mary Harris, just discovered the other day she had 5 sons, 3 dau on the 1820 census. Looked everywhere for that 1850 census--even my library didn't have it. My only info. on her previous was her name Mary Gardner, dau of Tho. Gardner & her marriage to Thomas Harris 1793 Spots. Co. married by Rev. Will Douglas--had no idea they even had children. Her husband, Thomas Harris d 1811 Orange Co. He was s/o Thomas Harris d 1782 Orange Co. Va wife, Sabra, Ch: sons: Lindsay m Frances Atkins, Thomas m Mary Gardner, John, Lewis m 2) Martha Smith, daus: Elizabeth m James Payne, Mary m Lewis Walker. I now suspect the Frances Long living with Mary was probably the dau. of Sabina Harris m Spotswood Long 1824 Orange Co. with a Tho. Harris as bondsman--could be this Thomas was s/o Mary/Thomas Harris. In the Orange Co. marriages, there was also a Thomas Harris bondsman for Frances Harris & William Clark 1832, also be dau. of Mary Harris. Their Orange Co. land in 1803 adj. John Wright & Thomas Ellis, was first purchased in 1766 by Tho. Harris, wife Sabra. DNA has this Harris line thru Lewis Harris grouped with the Capt Tho. Harris 1611 Jamestown. Thanks again. Carol Barron, descendant of Thomas Harris residing 1748 Hanover Thomas Harris d 1782 Orange Co. Lindsay Harris d 1803 Orange Co.
