Harris County was named after Charles Harris, a distinguished Savannah lawyer who died about the time the county was laid off. He was the son of William Harris, barrister, first cousin of Lord Malmesbury and of an excellent family in England, Charles Dymock. Charles Harris was born in England in 1772, and after receiving his early education in France, came as a youth of sixteen in 1778 to Savannah, Georgia. This information was taken from the History of Harris County 1827-1961 by Louise Calhoun Barfield. Followups: Re: Harris William Harris 1/21/02 Re: Harris William T.
