Surnames: Joy Harris, Dunn
Your family is included in my family. You have some incorrect information. Franklin Pearce Harris married Margaret Ella Dunn. Franklin is the brother to my Grandmother and Lenora Harris Jones is the sister to my grandmother Molly Mae Harris who married William C Joy. I visited often in St. Marys at Aunt Node's (Lenora) and Uncle Gus Jones home, on Horseneck.. I knew Gussie Tom (I guess this would be your father), Larry,(my playmate) and Sue. I would like to learn more of what you have. On the Jones, Gasper side I don't know a lot. Would like to know where Larry is.

Surnames: Jones, Campbell, Enoch
My great-grandmother, Massa Mariah Jones was the daughter of Augustus and Mariah G Jones shown below. My GGM's brother was the Augustus (b.1884) shown below.

Mariah Jones was the daughter of Robert R Campbell (killed in WV in the Civil War) and Massa Welling Campbell. After Robert's death, Massa remarried Grandison C. Hughes.

Massa M. Jones married Jefferson Franklin Enoch. They are both interred in the Drumright, OK cemetery (Northside Cem). They had eleven children. I knew my GGM Enoch, but Jefferson Enoch died when I was about a year old.

Surnames: Dunn Harris, Gasper, Jones, Joy
As I stated in an earlier post, I am related to the Harris, Gasper, Dunn, and Jones. Some through marriage. Here is an excellent site for Pleasants County with a wealth of info. http://www.lindapages.com/pleasants/index.htm I have been to St Marys many times doing research. I plan to go back down after the first of the year to get some obitiuaries, marriage certificates, birth records, etc. at the courthouse in St Marys. If I can get anything for you let me know.
I have pictures of Uncle Gus and Aunt Node Jones and their children and grandchildren take at Horseneck. I could copy what I have for you.
My grandfather, William Curtis Joy, married Molly Mae Harris, a sister to Franklin Pearce Harris

Thank you so much for offering. I would love to have copies of anything you are willing to share. I also have a few older pics that I'll send you if you're interested.

I made a mistake in the name Queen, it should be Dunn. I had a problem reading my own handwriting.

I am going to be off the internet for about a month starting Dec. 28. Please email me directly at harper.robin@yahoo.com , and I can go ahead and send you what pics I have already scanned. My email address will not change while I'm offline.

Again, thank you so much for offering to share. Looking forward to hearing from you.
