In reply to:
Farris, William Col
Richard Farris 8/17/98
I've read there is a tombstone in Lafayette reading "In memory of Col. Samuel Fariss 1797-1862...By his side his wife Rachel 1798-1848".Samuel's father William was in the Revolution as was his father in law Joseph Pinson.Sam was a judge and state senator in Rabun Co. Ga. before moving to Walker Co. Ga. where he held the same positions as well as going to congress.I'd also like to hear about the readings and communicate with descendents.Sam is said to have a diary that would be of great interest to descendents and answer many questions.
