Notes:
                   AFN: QFB8 - VL.I also have Green Hill, attached to Spring Tannery as the death place. Spring Tannery was the name of the death place at the time of William's death. It was changed to Saluvia, which it was called at the time of Horace's research.
William came to Philadelphia in 1800, bringing his nieces, Jean, Margaret Sutia and Christina Lyndsay with him. (They were the daughters of Margaret Harris). Hevisited his relatives in Central PA., learning the tannery business with his kinsman, Thomas H. Stewart. He pursued his trade for a time at Williamsburg, BlairCounty, PA., but chiefly at Spring Tannery, (now Saluvia), Fulton County, PA. where he died. He was a Presbyterian, a Justice of the Peace, and highly respectable.

The above was taken from "Colonel George Steaurt and His wife Margaret Harris- Their ancestors and Descendents" by Robert Stewart DDLLD.

About 30 years before he died, he was cured of cancer by an operation performed by his brother Robert of Philadelphia. His usual title among his Pennsylvania relatives was "Cousin Billy" Harris. (George Austin Harris had a large family Bible that was printed in 1776 and presented to William by his 1/2-aunt, Ann AllisonVance, and gives a record of his family. In 1978 this Bible was in possession of a niece of George Harris, Mrs. M.O. Robinson, 1830 Forest Ave. Dover, DEL. 19901. 734-9744.)
