Hi I have two Harris Woods and a Harrison Woods in Orange Co. NC and notes on a Harris Woods in Randolph County, NC. As far as I know, none were married to a Ellen -- and they are certainly nowhere near Rhode Island or Wisconsin -- but here's what I have: 1. Harris Woods born abt 1764 in NC. Harris married Jemimah Forrester of Orange County, NC before 1800. Jemimah was born 1768 and was the sixth of nine children of Benjamin Forrester and Sarah Wood. Jemimah's siblings married into the Chisenhall, Tanner, Dossett, Whitlow, Johnson and Leathers families. (It looks like part of the family went to KY after Benjamin's death.) 2. Harrison (sometimes Harris) Woods was born abt 1807 in NC. He married Patsey Cardin on Sept. 23,1831 in Orange County, NC. I suspect that he died between 1870-1880 in Orange County, NC. Known children: James, Caroline, William Washington and John H. 3. Harris Woods, grandson of #2 above through William W. Woods and Martha L. Clinton. Born 1860 in Orange County. I have no other info -- he's been a real mystery, and I suspect he may have died quite young. It appears that he was a twin of my Jesse Harrison Woods, but is definitely not the same person as Jesse. 4. Harris Kimball Woods born April 04, 1827 in Randolph County, NC. He was son of Penuel Woods and Sarah Kimball. I have no other info on this Harris. As I said, these are a far distance and time from your Harris Woods, but should you get any other info on any of them, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd pass it along. ==== WOODS Mailing List ==== No part of these messages nor the archives file containing them may be published or redistributed in any form by a "FOR PROFIT" or commercial organization.
