Harris 1st name puzzle
I am trying to find the correct spelling of the first name my
paternal great-grandfather, so I can delve further into my ancestry. I
cannot go on without it. His name on all of the census's 1880, '90, are
all illegible, 1895 was copied & typed by someone, but that name
was typed Mc M. Harris. I have to guess at the 1880 Census, which has
been interpreted as Mc "Anelia" Harris. The more
I look at it the more it looks like Mc E i u c f i a (or the "c" could
be an "r") Harris. (You have to look it up under Hannah E.. 1880
Madison Co. IA) I know it makes no sense, but that is what the letters
most look like. When I was 6 or 7 my dad told me we had an Indian in
our family that lived with them, this could be him. His father, my
great-great-grand-father, according to the 1890 Census came from North
Carolina, he could be Cherokee, so who knows. He claimed to be white.
My father was born James Lauder Harris (Lauder was my
grandmother's Dr.), but when his mother and father got divorced (no she
didn't marry the Dr.) and she married husband # 2, Frank Sabey, he
adopted my father; Hence, I am James L. Sabey, Jr. I'm giving you all
this background, for your benefit because I don't know how to tell the
story without it. I remember seeing my grandfather only once when I was
just 4 or 5. My mom and dad divorced when I was 8 and I did not see
much of him, we spoke by phone few times before he died; therefore, my
dad did not have much to go on.
My Grandfather was Warren Henderson Harris, he was born in May
1884, he and his eight siblings were born to my great grand mother
Hannah E. Harris, and my great grand father Mc ? Harris, who's first
name cannot be read in the Census. Grandpa's siblings were all born and
raised in Madison County, IA, as was their mother. Great grand father
was a farmer. Born in December of 1849.
Great grand mother Hannah E. born December of 1855 was a homekeeper-
Ervin S. b. 1873 - John M. b. 1876 -
Wallace L. b. 18 April 1879- Homer K. b. 1 May 1881- Nora E.born
February of 1887- Edna B. April of 1889- Edgar C. b. April of 1892-
Opal G. b. January of 1898
If someone knows who lived near these Harrises or married one of
them, and knows how to spell the Patriarch's first name, please contact
