Hello Carla, I would like to exchange some info with you on Ada and Harry B.
Summerlot. I believe your Harry is my Father's half brother. He was born
in the 1800's (not certain of the date right now.) My dad was born in 1927
(still living) and had a brother Harry who married an Ada Harris. Harry has
been dead for some years, being much older than my dad. My Grandfather was
60 when my dad was born. Harry's family lived in Clay County, IN. Please
let me know if you believe that Harry is my Harry too. His dad: John Henry
Summerlot and mother: Mary Steppler. Mary died young and Grandpa married my
Grandmother Maggie Everwine Willis. This was her second marriage also.

Subject: [INOWEN] Jacob S. Harris, my Owen Co. ancestor
Dear Owen list,
These are the children of my great-great-grandfather, Jacob S. Harris.
Phillip Harris is my great-grandfather. I have a copy of Jacob S. Harris's
will that he made 2 years prior to his death. I have put the name that's
in
the will next to the name that corresponds below. There are 3
children
listed in the will that aren't listed below. They are, John Harris, Ada
Harris (married Harry B. Summerlot) and Charles Harris not mentioned in the
will but is mentioned in Phillip's obituary and that he lived in Ohio. I
found the copy of my gggrandfather's will in the library in Spencer,
genealogy section. I live in Texas and won't make it back to Spencer any
time soon. Does anybody know of this family? Jacob S. Harris and Margaret
Balder? Margaret was born in Germany. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you everybody,
Carla Harris
