NEWSOM HARRIS
Hi,
I'm researching my HARRIS line and have found some information on NEWSOM HARRIS, here's what I have:
NEWSOM HARRIS (born 1811, Granville, NC -- died ?) the son of ISHAM HARRIS (born 1785, Granville, NC -- died 9/4/1834, Monroe Co., MS) & ELIZABETH HARRIS (?).This information not verified by me.This HARRIS line has many,many REAVIS marriages.
NEWSOM married ELIZABETH DAWSON (born abt 1822, TN -- ?).I located this family in the 1850 Monroe Co., TN Census, roll 378, pg 28:
NEWSOM HARRIS, 39 yrs., born in NC, farmer
ELIZABETH, 28 yrs., born in TN
WILLIAM, 10 yrs., born in NC
ELIZABETH, 8 yrs., born in MS
WILEY, 6 yrs., born in MS
GEORGE, 4 yrs., born in MS
JOHN, 1 yr., born in MS
(I believe that this JOHN is possibly my gg grandfahter, JOHN HENRY HARRIS, born 8/1/1849, MS -- died 1894, San Saba Co., Texas)
NEWSOM'S brother, WILEY;
WILEY HARRIS (born 3/12/1807, Waren Co., NC -- died 1877, Monroe Co., MS) married MARY Q. EDWARDS, abt 1825 -- info from another researcher, not verified by me
Information from the 1850 Monroe Co., MS Census:
WILEY HARRIS, age unreadable, born in NC, farmer, roll 378, pg 35
MARY, age unreadable, born in VA
WILLIAM, age 23, born in NC

ISHAM, age 19, born in MS
JAMES, age 16, born in MS
