Dear Jude and Wilma:

In December of 1999 we communicated regarding Thomas Harris, of Prince
George's Co, MD. b. 1699 who married in 1725 to Sarah Offutt of Calvert Co.,
MD. I have their children as:

1) Thomas b. 17 Dec 1726 (noted as the son of Thomas Jr.)
2) Mary b. 20 July 1728
3) Nathan b. 1747 d. 1820 who married Rachel Lawrence

Jude, you placed
4) Zedekiah Harris who married Elizabeth Owens b. 1772

you then listed the children of Thomas's second marriage to Sarah Hall of
which you are a descendant:

1) Celia (Catherine) m John Clark
2) Simeon b. 1780 m Susannah Owen
3) Overton
4) Elizabeth
5) Rhonda
6) Abigail m. Nathaniel Clark
7) William
8) Agnes (Nancy)

Jude, you also had Thomas's b. abt 1750 in MD (as a guess) and indicated he
shows up on the Louisa Co, VA census in 1787, left shortly after that with
the Hall, Stringer, and Parrish families. You indicated they lived in
Lexington, KY until after 1788 when they left due to the threat of Indians,
indicating they went to Bullitt Co, KY.

Wilma, you asked the question about one of Thomas's and Sarah's son's who was
named Overton and asked if Thomas came from the Jamestown Harrises?

1) Have either of you found any new information about these families?
2) Can either of you provide an ancestory tree of this Thomas?
3) Can either of you provide a descendent tree for thisThomas?
4) According to my charts, Thomas would have been 89 years old when the
Indians were threatening him in Lexington. Could this be correct? Is it
possible the Thomas in Lexington is a different Thomas?

Thanks.

Chuck Harris
