Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
Newsom Harris was a North Carolina colonist.

Newsom Harris was born about 1756-1762 in Granville County, North Carolina. He was a son of Isham Harris and Martha Rowland.[1][2]

On 13 May 1782, he married Mary Neal(e),[3] and they made their home in Granville County, where they had five children:[4]

  1. Thompson, b. 1780
  2. Isham (1785-1834)
  3. Catherine "Kitty," b. 1784
  4. Harris-19145Reuben, b. 1786
  5. Pinckney, b. 1788

Newsom is listed on the 1786 NC Early Census for Granville County.[5][6] By 1810, the Harris family had changed from Granville to Warren County.[7] (Further research would likely reveal whether this was a relocation or simply realignment of county lines.) In 1820, still in Warren County, Newsom had help to work his farm: two slaves and two free persons of color.[8]

Newsom passed away in 1829 in Warren County, North Carolina.[4][2]

This is part of my line of Harris. I own the house he was born and it still is occupied today! A beautiful "plantation house" and the land at the time of his birth included 3000 acres. I have read the handwritten documents of the time of survey of the land. I own the house and 50 acres around the house and family cementary.
