This page contains some notes on a family whose origins we are researching. Some families we know more about than others, but we hope that by publishing this summary here we can make contact and exchange data with people who can help to complete the picture.
The Harris family we are researching came from Honiton in Devon. We are interested in the following generations of people who bore this surname:
John and Meriam Harris (no details known)
Thomas Harris (baptised 1694/5) and Anne Hitchcock (buried 1763)
Thomas Harris (1744 - 1812) and Gertrude Cotterell (1735 - 1809)
Thomas Harris (1767 - 1817) and Elizabeth Buffet (baptised 1765)
Harriet Harris (1798 - 1885) and James Warren (1802 - 1851)
The earlier generations lived in Honiton in Devon, but we have had some difficulty in distinguishing between different Harris families. Thomas Harris (1767 - 1817) moved to Whitestaunton in Somerset in the early 1790s. We also know a lot about the Warren family and a little about the Cotterell and Buffet connections.
Some of the names above are linked to the corresponding record in the on-line family tree. When you click on a link, the linked record will be displayed in a separate window. There you can see the family relationships as we understand them, together with notes on what we have found in parish registers, census returns and other records.
