Researching the Harris, Settle, Reid, Stubblefield, and Allen families of Rockingham and Guilford Counties. Especially interested in descendants of Thompson Harris who was granted land in Rockingham Co. by Lord Granville in 1756. He had 4 known sons, (1)Robert whose descendants moved to White Co. IL, (2)John Sr who stayed in Rockingham Co. NC, (3)Thompson Jr who possibly moved to SC where descendants spread out into GA & AL, and (4)Christopher of which we have no futher information. These families lived in the HOGANS CREEK, LICKFORD CREEK AREAS of Rockingham Co. NC.
