I am researching the descendants and relatives of Solomon and Mary (GERMAN) HARRIS, who settled in Fredericksburgh.

Solomon HARRIS was b 15 Mar 1772, Kingsbury, NY, and d 15 Mar 1844, Frankford, Sidney Tsp., Hastings Co., ON. He is bur in Stockdale Cem. Solomon HARRIS was one of 7 children of Gilbert HARRIS, Sr. [Daniel III, II, I, Thomas, William, John], and Thankful (TOWNSEND) HARRIS, who settled in Kingsbury, Washington Co., NY, prior to the Rev. War.

Four of Solomon HARRIS' siblings also immigrated to ON, CAN, following the Rev. War:

Gilbert HARRIS, Jr., b c 1760, Cornwall, Litchfield Co., CT, d 1827 (aft 7 Sep 1827), Belleville, Hastings Co.; m Samantha TYLER (dau of Jared TYLER, UEL); no children

David HARRIS, b Kingsbury, NY, d Ernestown, ON; m 30 Dec 1788, Ernestown Tsp., ON, Catherine PALMER (dau of David PALMER, UEL)

James HARRIS, of Belleville, Hastings Co., ON; m Elizabeth McLEAN

Phebe (HARRIS) DURKEE; m 3 Jan 1797, St. John's Church, Ernesttown Tsp., Lennox and Addington Co., ON, Nathan DURKEE

Solomon HARRIS' two siblings who remained in the US following the Rev. War were:

Jonathan HARRIS, b 1757, Cornwall, CT, d 1828, NY, NY; m Kingsbury, NY, Eleanor WATSON (dau of John and Mary [Farnsworth] WATSON), b Eng?, d 1847, NY, NY; one of their children was Townsend HARRIS, the first US Ambassador to Japan

Noah HARRIS, b 1759, Cornwall, CT, d 1 Jun 1821, Kingsbury, NY; m Janet (Jane) GRANDELL, b 1761, d 8 Jun 1822, Kingsbury, NY

I have posted information on the descendants of Solomon HARRIS' siblings on various queries submitted on the HARRIS and DURKEE Genforums.
