Comment by JMC: The father of James Samuel Harris b. 1875 has also been identified as Bryant B. Johns, the brother of James B. Johns. It certainly seems reasonable that either James or Bryant could be the father of James Samuel Harris since they lived within a few houses of the Harris family. Lucinda at the birth of James Samuel Harris was a month shy of 18, James B was 24, and Bryant was 15y4m. Millicent and Bryant were closer in age. Perhaps the death certificate will identify the actual father. Bryant B. is positively identified as the father based upon family info provided by Dewey Edward Harris, son of James Samuel Harris (III) b. 1901 who was a grandson of Millicent.
James Harris owned a meat shop at the farmers market in Atlanta. He died of a heart attack at an early age of 58. He was a large, heavy set man over 6' tall.
Living in GA, Tattnall, Manassas in 1920.
