Susan Harris - Randolph and Terrell Counties Georgia
Hi..can anyone tell me why in
1840 Randolph County Susan Harris shows living next to Joseph Wills but with the name Susan Harris
In 1850, she is still in Randolph County (941st)showing with whom I'm assuming are her children:
Joseph, Louisiana, Martha, Mary, and Nancy.....the children are all listed as Harris
In 1860 in Terrell County she is still listed as SUSAN Harris, but the children are all now listed as Wills, and by this time Wm H Harris had been born.
Why the change in names for them? Were they Wills or were they Harris'? Were those her children or maybe step-children?
In 1870 it shows SUSAN Harris living next to Martha Wills, but with Susan now it lists William as a Mulatto? What happened? Were they all mulattos listed as White?
Help!
Thanks,
Yolanda
