minor battles and skirmishes.  His father, George W. Harris, was also
born in Monroe County, about two and one-half miles from the present

North Carolina and moved at an early day to Monroe Couty, Ky., of which
he was among the first settlers.  Francis was a son of John Harris, who
was a soldier during the entire Revolutionary war and was of English
descent.  George W. Harris married first, about 1829, Jane, daughter of
John and Sarah (Jones) Bennett, of Monroe County. She was born about
