Hi Linda! You don't have to volunteer to look around. Check out the surname index for Harris. I've found the best way to research my family in WikiTree is to post what I know and connect to existing profiles when I find them. If you want to go that route, let me know & I'll confirm you as a member.
Trying to find information about a William Matthew Harris, born about 1844, d. about 1914, in Covington, VA, married to Elizabeth. One of his sons was George Thomas Harris. He appears to be a descendent of William Lee Harris, of Albemarle Co., VA.
