“Mary Richards Harris may be my great, great, great grandmother. My great, great, great grandfather was Samuel Harris. He was born in Floyd, Virginia in 1806 and married a Mary Richards who was born in 1815. We know nothing else about her. My great, great grandfather (their son) was Joseph Andrew Harris born in 1847 in Wyeth, Virginia. He later lived in Georgia where he rode with General Sherman (not as a soldier, but as one of the camp followers) and after the Civil War moved to Greene County, MO. I do not know of any siblings of his. Do you think your Mary Richards Harris could be the same as mine?” -- Barbara Hunt
