Searching for information about my grandfather and g-grandfather. Grandfather: Aden O'NEAL,
I seek any information on my MAINWARING and HARRIS ancestors, arriving in Harrison Co 1856 and 1858 respectively. In 1860 census Mark and Deborah HARRIS household included Mansin(sp?) HARRIS, born IN 1837 or 1840. Mark HARRIS was also born IN, 1827. Were they brothers? Who were their parents? Mark died 1862. How? Where? Do any photos exist of Mark and Deborah HARRIS in any local publications?
