Subject: Harris/Brown/Gibson/Trammell/Haygood From: Donna Sarchet Date: December 15, 1998 Amy-- Are you a direct descendant of Farr Harris Trammell and wife Sarah Haygood? I am a descendant of John Haygood, brother to Sarah. They are the children of Benjamin Haygood (Rev. soldier) and wife Mary Ann Stewart. The Haygoods go back to 1680s Surry Co., VA. Also, do you have any idea of why Farr Harris Trammell is named "Farr Harris" for his given names? I ask because of the Farr/Pharr families in old Wilkes Co., GA--who likely go back to Union Co., SC where the Trammells are from. The Pharrs/Farrs are in my line via Marthy/Patsy Farr/Pharr, who married William Barron (son of Capt. William Barron, Rev. Soldier, and wife Prudence Davis). William's sister married Jacob Garrard; as I recall the Garrard's came to GA from Union Co., SC. I saw "Gerrard" in your surname list. Also, where in SC are your Browns, Gibsons, and Harrises? Families with these surnames were closely associated/intermarried with my Stanley family who resided in Spartanburg Co., SC (present-day Cherokee Co.) and later moved into Pendleton District before moving into GA from 1785-early 1800s. These Stanleys and associates also appear in old Tryon (Rutherford/Lincoln) Counties, NC records (part of the NC/SC border dispute area. I suspect these Browns, Gibsons and Harrises are originally from Northumberland Co., VA. The Harrises I'm interested in are probably From the same Harris family written up in a sketch in "Southern Historical Families" by Boddie (Vol. 2). Does any of the above sound familiar?
