Researching HARRIS surname in Williamson Co. The 1850 Williamson Co. IL
1850 census lists Thomas HARRIS, age 52, born NC; Francis HARRIS, age 52,
born SC; and Irwin HARRIS, age 19, born IL. Believe "Irwin"is actually "Emery"
Thomas HARRIS, my ancestor, who would have been 19, at time of the 1850
census. He was born in Illinois and his father was named Thomas HARRIS.
Does anyone have evidence to disprove my assumption? Ellen Moore
