Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Temperance Harris

'Harris and Allied Families of Claiborne, Gillison, Thompson and
Whitsett' by Maud Callaway Hays, 1953. Harris pg 5.
'Harris Genealogy' by Gideon Dowse Harris,1914.

Note: I originally had Temperance as the daughter of William Harris Jr. and Elizabeth Burnett. However after seeing documentation, William Jr. who was born in 1707 would only have been 8 years old when Temperance was born. Most documentation I have seen recently says that William Sr. and Temperance Overton were the parents of Temperance Harris.

Notes
1REL WAS DAU
2REL WAS SON

This doesn't make a lot of sense but that's what the census has. I think it's because the census shows this as 2 households, the 2nd beginning with Nancy C. Williams. Florence and William are children of Nancy and neice and nephew of George Purvis.
