I am looking for information on John Earl Harris who was born in Greenfield, Saratoga Co.,
NY on June 15, 1798. He moved to Pierpont, OH, Town of Morgan, Porter Co., IN and
eventually to Cato, WI where he died in 1855 and was buried in the Cato Heights Cemetery.
I have been unable to find any information on his parents or other ancestors. He married
Nancy Ormsbee in 1820. She was also from Greenfield. Their children - Nelson Alonzo,
Patience, Erwin, Isaac J., and Sarah W. who all grew up in Wisconsin, except for Patience
who died young. There are many Harris and Ormsbee graves in Greenfield, but I have been
unable to connect John Earl to any of these Harris families.
