JAMES SAMUEL HARRIS:
In 1870, he was living with his parents and siblings in Waynesville, Wayne County, Georgia. On 12/26/1878 he married Martha Hickox, b. 1864 Wayne County, Georgia, daughter of James Hickox and Nancy McClellan. In 1870 James and Martha were living with Martha's mother Nancy Hickox in Wayne County. Martha's father, John, apparently died between 1870 and 1880. In 1880 James, Martha and children were living in Wayne County. In 1900 James and the children were living in Hoboken, Pierce County. They lived in the Trail Ridge (Firetower Ridge) area between Nahunta and Hoboken. It appears that Martha had died between 1880 and 1900. James is not found in the 1910 or 1910 census, so he may have died between 1900 and 1910.
