Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Collateral Ancestry of Stephen Harris, Born September 4, 1798, and of Marianne Smith, Born April 2, 1805
This book, with the Harris Record which was printed in 1903, and the Smith Record which was printed in 1906, completes the sketches which I have prepared relating to my ancestry in all its lines back to the emigration to this country, which occurred between 1682 and 17 45.
It will be noticed that so far as these sketches show I am of wholly British origin for several hundred years, as there are no names herein contained suggesting another origin, and as my people mostly come from the interior and western part of England or Scotland, where the population has changed but little for a long period.
It will of course be noticed that the sketches herein given do not, as the Harris and Smith records did, bring down these families to the present time, but only to the date at which a female member of my ancestry in each family married into some other family whose male descent carried down my ancestry a little further.
I have information in some of these families which comes down later than what is herein printed, but my purpose was only to give my own line of descent.
