In continuing the search for information about my great grandfather, John William Harris, who married Mary Allmond in Henry County TN in 1854: I found a William W. Harris and wife, Mary, who had a 16 year old son, John, in the 1850 Coffee County, TN census. (It is believed that my John William Harris came from the Tullahoma area.) This William W. was born 1810 in SC. I am speculating that his name may have been William Washington Harris. Could he have been a son of William Washington Harris born 1788 in NC, married Elizabeth Golightly in 1809 in SC and died 1875 in SC? If this speculation is accurate then my great grandfather who was said to be a cousin to Gov. Isham G. Harris would in fact be a third cousin to the Gov. Both the Isham G. Harris family and my great grandfather, John Harris, lived and died in Henry County, TN.
If anyone has any information about all of this or can offer any suggestions, I will appreciate it very much.
