According to the 1860 Concord twp., Dekalb Co., IN census, I have a Sarah
Harris married to Isaac Franks. Although it states that they were from
Virginia, their children were born in IN, at least one (Sarah, married to
Silas Latta) was born in Dekalb Co. Could any of these people be in your
tree?

Looking for my grandparents.
My father BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HARRIS was b DEKALB CTY in town of BUTLER<IN
april 17,1893.
He had three brothers & a sister,one a RUSSEL HARRIS b 1895 in dekalb cty
d1970-72 in pontiac ,MI.
My grandfather ,first name unknown was said to have been born in branch
cty,MI.
other brothers were ALBERT HARRIS & JAY (JASON) HARRIS b late 1880's ,
probably in dekalb cty.
& ALSA or ALYCE HARRIS (married a EARL BAKER from MI.)
While my GF first name is unknown ,his wifes name was MARTHA or MARGARET
HARRIS.
This family eventually settled in deroit -dearborn--pontiac areas of MI,
