hello Harris researcher...
I am Ivan Rogers, who descends from Josiah Rogers,the brother of Mehiable Rogers of Petersham MA.
I have the ancestorage of Mehitable Rogers if you are interested but nothing about Robert Harris.
However, Josiah Rogers (above) was an inkeeper in New Ipswich NH where their was a Robert Harris, a merchant located there as well. After the revolution both families had moved on.
Also, I must assume that Robert Harris did something of importance. The name Harris was used his brothers-in-law
and their children as given names. For example, John Rogers of Bridport VT (brother to Mehitable)had a grandson called Robert Harris Rogers. I am descended from Hermon Harris Rogers born in South Stukely QC. Another cousin Josiah Rogers Jr. chose to call his son Harris Josiah Rogers born in Dunham QC.
I would like to know more about Robert Harris as well, and hope that you might share what you find.
I am forwarding what I have. The material on Dolly is yours...

He lived in Portsmouth until he was thirteen, and a part of the time in Londonderry, N.H. In the winter of 1775 he was taken by his father to Holderness, N.H., where his instruction was superintended by his father, assisted probably by Dr. John Porter, a graduate of Harvard College and afterwards a lawyer in Plymouth, N.H. He is not known to have attended any academy or college. He studied law at Newburyport, under that eminent jurist, the late Chief Justice Parsons, and began practice in Concord, N.H., in 1783. He removed to Portsmouth and was solicitor for Rockingham County from 1791 to 1793. He was a member of the Convention, of which his father was president, chosen to revise the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, which assembled in Concord, Sept. 7, 1791. He was a U.S. District Attorney to the Circuit Court for the District of New Hampshire, from Feb., 1794 to 1797. He was Justice of the Superior Court of New Hampshire, from 1797 to 1799, quitting the bench a little more than a year after, upon the ground of the inadequacy of the salary, which was then no more than eight hundred dollars, and removed to Newburyport
President Adams, Sept. 20, 1798, appointed him naval officer for the port of Portsmouth, a place from which he was removed by President Jefferson in 1802. He was representative in Congress from Essex County, from 1807 to 1811, then living in Newburyport, and was a zealous and leading Federalist in the State in the party contests which preceded and attended the war with England in 1812.
He was a resident of Boston after his return from Congress from 1811 to 1816, and delivered the Fourth of July oration in the city in 1813. He removed to Zanesville, Ohio, about 1816, then in the "Far West." Not satisfied with his frontier life, he returned to Massachusetts and bought a home in that portion of the town of Tewksbury which is now a part of Lowell. He is buried in the Granary burying ground, in Boston.
