Hi!

Looking for information on the following family. B.C. HARRIS was a Freewill Baptist
Minister. He may have been part Cherokee. His son, ROBERT M., was called BOB by most
people. Bob Harris was supposedly killed in a cotton gin accident in 1915 at Nola,
Scott County, Arkansas.

Any help you can give me on this family would be greatly appreciated. Will be glad to
share any information I have on them.

Thanks so much.
