Hi,
Francis HARRIS came to Delaware Co.,IN sometime between 1820 and 1831. He
bought land in Delaware Co. signed 6-1-1831. TWP 22-N, R 10-3, Sec 25. Does
anyone know where I could get a map of the county that showed range and twp?
There is a probate record for a Francis Harris in Deleware Co., IN.
abstracted by Delaware Co. Historical Society:
"Harris, Francis Est - d 18 Mar 1845, Nancy Harris for Dower - heirs Benjamin
Harris and Christena Wood, Delaware County, IN, Mary Bobo wife of Martin,
Tippecanoe County, IN, Isaac and David Harris, Washington County, Iowa
Territory, Hannah Connelly wife of George W., Fulton County, IL, Jane and
Rachel Harris minors McLain (sp) County, IL, and Francis, Elizabeth and
Susannah Harris minors Perry County, OH, F-46, 325-328."
My ggrandfather, Hugh Carrel Harris is not listed in the abstract, but I
recently received a copy of the complete probate from Ball State University
and Hugh is listed among the heirs - the second and third times they were
listed. So this Francis is my gggrandfather.
Thanks for any help.
