Ira, are you related to the Sherwood Harris line? I have traced back my Harris line via Sarah Harris daughter of Sherwood who married a Thomas Harris, then their son Samuel, m. Mary Coats, son Emery Thomas Harris, and his daughter Caroline Harris who married an Ozment. I have Harris and White in my line. From John White b. KY 1811, I'm stuck. He reports in the 1880 census that his father is from TN and his mother from NC. Other than that....I have suspicions from early Mercer Cty, KY census that John's father could be Pristle White m. Lucy Hawkins or Hezekia White m. Susannah Jackmon. My John White married Cynthia/Cyntha Clemmons, this much I do know. Do any of these names sound familiar with a John White born in KY around 1811 in particular if any of the White's you have had a son named John and they moved to KY? John was born about 1811. I found another William White who came to KY w/Daniel Boone but the John White that appears to be William's son went to OH. My John didn't move to OH, he stayed in KY so William rules him out as his father. As a side note, I have a Jemima H. McFarland who married a Wilson. Would perhaps the Jemima H. be H. for Harris? These are my line and up in the Smythe, VA area in 1860.

Marriage consent for the bride was given by her brother John Harris and consent was also given by Zachariah & Jemima Wilburrn. I am wondering if anyone knows the children of Jemima Harris White who married Henry White (by posting on Genforum)? Does anyone know how the Nancy Harris and her brother might be connected to jemima and Zachariah Wilburn? In Granville County, North Carolina lived the family of Sherwood Harris and his wife Jane Hudspeth. I BELIEVE that Sherwood Harris was the son of Robert Harris and his wife Elizabeth Turner. Sherwood and Jane Harris had the following children: Mary Harris , who married Absalom Hicks and died aft. 1770 in Granville County, NC. Elizabeth Harris Ann Harris ---- I THINK she may be Nancy Ann Harris, and POSSIBLY the one listed above who married Wiley Wood. Jemima Harris, who married Henry White and Zachariah Wilbourn. I have that Jemima and Henry had one daughter, Mercy White. John Harris Sarah Harris, who married Thomas Harris Sherwood Harris Jr. , who married Rebecca Wilkins and Judith Woodall. I hope this is the answer or at least gives you some leads in answering your questions. Ira L.
