Subject: [CMN-L] John Harries (b 1759) and his wives
Dear CFHS,
I have just read, with great interest, an old posting from back in
2001 entitled ‘[Cmn-L] Harries Family, Llandeilo Fawr’.
I believe John Harries was my Great Great Great Great Grandfather and
I believe my Great (x4) Grandmother was Mary Price (or possibly Thomas)
who I think married John Harries on 17th August 1785. I have recently been
given a fairly extensive family tree which goes back as far as my Great
(x7) Grandparents, as early as 1694. I am still trying to understand the
origins of this tree and satisfy myself of its authenticity. I have
already proved a considerable amount of it using census information, CFHS,
parish records.
www.findmypast.com,
www.familysearch.org and other
Internet sources. However, I have been unable to fathom out John Harries
and his two (or three) wives.
According to this family tree, my Great (x4) Grandmother seems to
have been born a Mary Thomas on 30th Sep 1759 and yet she appears to be
Mary Price by the time she was married. Was she married before to a Mr
Price or was her real name Mary Price Thomas and at some stage she dropped
the Thomas? One of her sisters was Gwenllian Price Thomas so this is a
possibility.
This tree says John Harries was baptised on 24th Nov 1759 and died on
7th Oct 1850. I have found Internet records of John Harries marrying
Gladis Williams as mentioned in the original 2001 posting. John and Gladis
were married on 13th July 1797 in Llandeilo'r Fan, Brecknockshire; however
I would be very grateful for any further information about John Harris,
his ancestors and his two (or three) wives.
Many thanks in anticipation.
