I am researching ancestors and descendants of James Harris, b 1759 NC; parents were Samuel and Rebecca Morrison Harris.

 

James in his will filed in Franklin County, TN left widow, Susannah Gass Harris; sons Samuel P, David Gass and James Bright Harris; daughters Sarah, Rebecca, Marthy, Mary, Rhoda, and Susannah Harris.  My line is James Bright, and I have located a descendant of Samuel P.  Searching for any information on any of the others.
