FARRIS in California, new site
Fellow Farris researchers:
I have been researching descendents of Young FARRIS and his wife, Mary "Polly" DUNBAR, for 15 years. Jane Mason and Jim Pearce have been tremendous help, and we now have our findings on a website, thanks to Jim.
I invite you to look at www.jimsweb.org. We have found a photo of Young and are hoping soon to have one of Polly. We have each of their children documented, and although for privacy reasons have not publicized anybody born after 1930, we are beginning to find real, live descendents. Some of them have shared photos and new information.
If you know anybody who may descend from the Farrises of Lake County, California, please contact me.
Young and Polly's children were: Elizabeth Jane, Nathan, Nancy A., William W., James, John, Joseph, Sarah Emma, Laura, and Samuel.
Young Farris's father was John Farris, about whom recent research has shown that he was not, as previously believed, the son of Nathan Farris of Kentucky. So if your line has a John Farris and Mary Jane Pinnick who died in Indiana in 1816, we definitely need to talk. They died in Paoli, Orange County, Indiana.
Hoping to hear from interested Farris researchers,
