Glenn,

Thanks for your reply. I have your ancestor Thomas Harris m. Mary (Polly)
Sample in my file and five of their six children in my file. Informtion
was sent to me a couple of years ago by Ardis Rasperger, Independence, MO.
She shows that Mary died in 1847 in Morgan Co, but gave no other
information. Which wife of Thomas Harris are you descended from? I have
more information on other children of John Sample and his brothers and
sister if you are interested. I am descended from Aaron Sample (brother of
John) and Annie Boyer, d/o Robert Boyer.
