After years of research, I am unable to determine the name of the father of William “Henry” Harris,

HarrisScott

He died in Bayboro Township (Horry County, SC) on 01 March 1901. His actual birthplace was Conway, South Carolina, Bayboro, South Carolina, or Loris, South Carolina. There are numerous family trees online that indicate his father was Henry Gustavus Harris - but that cannot be possible. Henry Gustavus Harris (York County, SC) was never married to Amy Hardee (mother of William Henry Harris, Sr., and the Will of Henry Gustavus Harris lists his wife (Patricia "Patience" Harriet Shurling) and children, with a child (completely different name) born the same year as William Henry Harris, Sr. I keep getting "hints" of information leading to northern North Carolina as a likely place where his family may have lived at some point. The mother of William Henry Harris, Sr. (Amy Hardee Harris) is also a great mystery. She is mentioned one time in a federal census when she is a child living with her family in Pitt, North Carolina. She was born on 16 August 1780. She entered eternal life in 1850 in Horry County, South Carolina (was living with her son - William Henry Harris, Sr.), but there is no record of her death, burial location, or any information at all.

I pretty sure they are also in my Hardee line. Send me a message and I’ll share all the information I have. I’m also signed into Roots Tech Relatives where you can message me there also.

Hello Scott,

Were you able to get together with M Hardee and compare notes?

If not and you still need some help, it would help us to have a Family Tree person ID. Not your sign in information, but the person ID of William "Henry" Harris.

Thank you ,

Anitra

That would be great if you have information that I cannot find. I will be waiting with fingers crossed!

I do have them in my tree but haven’t made it that far back on verification.

Hello again.

I forgot to mention it would be helpful to have your Family Tree person ID for the relatives you are searching for.

Thanks loads,

I have tried to figure out Carrie Harris Peek's father (married Earnest Peek), her grandmother and grandfather Her mother may be Eliza Harris. And she may have a daughter Mattie Peek Edom, (married Gene Edom). Anyone knows how to connect the names. Possible born in Etowah County Alabama or Rutledge, Crenshaw. Alabama. Possible on Eastern Band Roll for Cherokee tribe.
