John Hutchinson Harry's Birth Location?
To all John Bishop Harry Researchers:
Every researcher I have consulted states that John Bishop Harry's son, John Hutchinson Harry's birthplace is Lincolnton, Lincoln, NC. In light of facts included in John H.'s mother's obituary (in the Southern Advocate) and deed records in Rockingham Co., VA, that location would seem unlikely. John B. Harry and Sarah Ann Hutchinson married 20 April 1806 (some say 19th) in Shenandoah Co., VA. Sarah's obituary states that she and John moved to Harrisonburg (Rockingham Co., VA), in the same state in 1807, then on to Lincolnton in 1809. Rockingham Co. Deeds agree - they purchased property on Irish Street in Harrisonburg, June 1807, and sold the property in April 1809. If John H. Harry was born in March 1807 it would seem that he would have been born in Virginia, not North Carolina.
If someone could reconcile these seeming contradictory facts, please do so. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
