Notes

  • George married Teresa (Thérèse) Ann Dumond about 1873.  No marriage record has been found.  Their first child, Mary Elizabeth Harris, was reported as age 6 in the June 1880 census, so born in about 1874.  No 1870 census record has been found for them either.

    The name of the oldest child in the 1880 census at first looks like MargE.  But then there is a writeover, which looks more like MaryE.  The name Mary E would match the name of a child a correspondent reprots as his ancestor, Mary Elizabeth Harris, daughter of Teresa and George.

    "Mary Elizabeth Harris, Theresa's daughter is my 2nd ggrandmother.  She married a Henry Long, Point Deluxe [Point DeLuce].  If I'm not mistaken Therese was baptized at the fort.  My understanding is that there is interesting history about a fort there and our people."

    In 1900 George and Teresa were enumerated in Point DeLuce Township of the same county.
