Research Notes
This William Harris, born in 1770 and died in 1806 in Albemarle County, Virginia, is often confused with William Harris (1752-abt.1792). See Harris-1940 and Comments for a detailed discussion of why the man of this profile is most-likely the William Harris who married Hannah Jameson in 1791.
UPDATE: It seems most-likely that this William Harris was the one who married Hannah Jameson in 1791 in Albemarle County, Virginia. She has therefore been removed from Harris-1940's profile as his wife.
