Can anyone tell me if there is a death record/obituary for Thomas Jefferson
Harris in Owen County? Census records indicate that he was born between
1831 and 1834 in Tennessee (but he may have been born in Kentucky) and that
he was living in Spencer in Owen County in 1880 and 1910 and in in
Indianapolis, Marion County, in 1900. I believe he was the son of George
and Elizabeth (Johnson) Harris. He married Nancy E. Childers; their
children were Rudolph Harris, Estella D. Harris, Clara Harris, Pearl Harris
and Winnie Harris.
I am interested in a death record or obituary to further pinpoint his date
and place of birth and to confirm that his parents are George and Elizabeth
(Johnson) Harris. I don't have a death date for him, but believe it to be
between 1910 and 1930, and probably between 1910 and 1920.
Thomas Jefferson Harris is a brother to my 2nd great grandmother, Mary
Matilda Harris. Other siblings of Thomas Jefferson and Mary Matilida are
Miles Wesley Harris, Sarah E. Harris, George W. Harris, Martha J. Harris and
Paris Harris.
Any information or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I live in NC
and can't get to local Owen County records at the present time.
