I am trying to find the origins of my HARRIS family. Abel K. Harris was born somewhere in South Carolina in about 1802. In the 1820's he moved to Perry County, Alabama, and in about 1834, moved to Bibb County, Alabama. Abel HARRIS appears to have had a brother named Robert Oliver Harris, b. about 1813, also in South Carolina, who also made the move to Alabama. Abel Harris' neighbor and friend in Bibb County was the Henry Avery family, originally from Chesterfield Co., SC.
On the hunch that Abel Harris and Henry Avery might have known one another before their arrival in Bibb County, Alabama, I am searching for my Harris family origins in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.
One family which seems to have a strong connection to the HARRIS family is the OLIVER family. Several OLIVER families live close to the AVERY's and HARRIS families in Chesterfield Co., South Carolina in the early 1800's.
Several later generations of the Harris family in Alabama have the name "Oliver" used as a middle name, leading me to believe it is a family surname. Does any Forum member have any information of a connection between the HARRIS and OLIVER families in Chesterfield County in about the 1800 time frame or earlier?
