I am looking for my great-great grandfather, George Harris and his family before him. I am trying to find out his father and his father before him.
All I know is that George Harris was born in VA abt. 1812. He married Martha A. (Bowers...I think?). I know one daughter was born in VA. and a son, John born 1855 in ILL.
This family then moved to Schuyler County, MO. where my grandfather, Boyd Milton Harris was born. On a 1880 census for that county and state is recorded a grandson by the name of Vivian S. Harris living with George. I am trying to find out who Vivian's parents were too! Also a Jesse L. (Ilepied?)-grandchild was recorded on another record.
Boyd later moved to Des Moines, Iowa and married Lena (Holtz). My father, Robert Harris was born in Des Moines, IA in 1909.
Thanks! Bobbie (Harris) Williams
