THOMAS HARRIS, son
of Abram HARRIS and Esther DENMAN was born 29 Jan 1799 in Greene
County, PA. He emigrated to Knox County, Ohio in 1821. He married
Jane CLUTTER 10 Jan 1822 of Knox County, Ohio by whom
he had eight children. Mr. Harris was one of the
early settlers of Knox County, Ohio and one of the heaviest stock dealers
in the country. He was compelled to drive his stock over the mountains,
on foot, as there were no facilities for shipping in
those early days, but through the fatigue of a pioneer and mountain travel
with stock, he gained considerable wealth. He died 8 Feb 1850 and
was buried in the Bell Church graveyard at Morgan Township,
Knox County, Ohio.
