By 1739, Richard and Margaret HARRIS were in that portion of
Edgecombe Precinct, NC that became part Granville County. The
1750 Tax List indicates that Richard HARRIS was Constable of
Granville Co., NC.
Jun. 8, 1751 - Richard Harris and Margaret his wife of Granville
Co. to Marmaduke Kimbrough of Edge. for 50 pds. 100 acre between
Roanoke River and Chockyok Creek whereon Henry Robertson the
elder now lives - land made over by said Kimbrough to said
Harris and wife for their natural lives.
Wit. Robert Harris, William Hicks, Christopher Harris, Lewis
Robertson. (Edgecombe Co., NC Deeds)
"Richard Harris of Granville Co., NC - NOTE: No positive
documentation has been located that shows Richard HARRIS of
Granville Co., NC as the son of Robert HARRIS of New Kent Co.,
VA, although circumstantial evidence (such as given name usage)
does support that conclusion. Documentary evidence of the
parents and grandparents of Richard HARRIS, husband of Priscilla
and father of Mary (HARRIS) PARKER is desired.
ALSO: Some compilers show the Richard HARRIS who married
Margaret KIMBROUGH and the Richard HARRIS who married Priscilla
as the same person. Several difficulties arise with this
conclusion. Deeds and wills indicate that Richard and Margaret
were married by 1739, and possibly by 1735, and that Richard and
Priscilla were married by 1755, and probably by 1749 (see the
1749 will of Frederick HOLMES) - but a 1751 deed indicates that
Richard and Margaret were still husband and wife. The 1785 will
of Richard Harris names the eight (or nine) children of Richard
and Priscilla, but not one of the sons of Richard and Margaret.
If the widower Richard Harris married Priscilla as late as 1749,
he would have been age 40 and she at least 15 years younger
(assuming she was 45 or less when daughter Mary was born about
1770). Richard Harris, husband of Margaret, was likely born in
1709, probably before 1714 and certainly before 1718, and would
therefore have been probably over age 56 (and likely over age
60) when daughter Mary was born about 1770.
The Granville County Tax Lists provide evidence that there was
one Richard HARRIS family in the county in 1750, two in 1755,
three in 1767, and two in 1769:
1750 - Richd Harris Const. negroe Bob 2
1755 - Richard Harris & Son Claiborne & Negroe Bob 2-1-3
1755 - Richard Harris, Abraham Cook, Wm Cook & Negroe Jenny
3-1-4
1767 - Richard Harris son George negro Bobb
1767 - Richard Harris negroes Abram and Jenney
1767 - Richard Harris
1769 - Richard Harris 2-1
1769 - Richard Harris 1-2"
