Fred,
I know exactly where the Harris Cemetery is in Clay Co and have been there several times.
It is just north of the Eel River and west of SR 59. Just north of Clay City, IN
My grandfather was Joseph Clifford Harris, his father was Peter Harris, his father was
Thomas Harris and his father was Daniel Harris who was the first to come to Clay Co...what
was then Owen Co. Daniel was the person who named Clay county after Henry Clay from
Kentucky. Clay co. was formed from Vigo and Owen counties and Daniel was instrumental in
getting that done. I hope this helps, I would be willing to help more if you need it.
