Notes:
                   NOTE:
    Researcher Peggy Magee says Mary Elizabeth Harris' parents are William S Harris (1811, KY), and Parmelia P. (1815, KY). This is incorrect.  Her death record lists the correct parents.  Additionally, Mary Elizabeth Harris is shown in 1860 in the home of her parents, William and Leah Harris, in Jersey, IL, listed as Mary McDow (her married name).
