Johnston-Harris family papers, 1776-1935, bulk 1840-1890

Title: Johnston-Harris family papers, 1776-1935, bulk 1840-1890

The papers of Henry Frazer Harris focus primarily on the personal and professional achievements of his father, John Campbell Harris (1840-1916), and his maternal grandfather, Thomas H. Powers. John Campbell Harris was a lieutenant in the U.S. Marines during the Civil War; Thomas H. Powers was a nationally-known chemical manufacturer and partner with the drug firm, Powers and Weightman. Both men's multi-faceted lives are well-documented through letters and journals as well as financial, real estate, and business records. The Johnston papers are primarily genealogical and include a small collection of family photographs, two certificates signed by Abraham Lincoln, and several letters written by U.S. Senator James Ross (1762-1847). The collection is rich in genealogy with both families tracing ancestry to Ireland and forefathers arriving as early as the late-seventeenth century. Related family names include Anderson, Bailey, Blair, Brodhead, Brown, Cash, Childs, Cust, Dike, Espy, Frazer, Hubbard, Maris, McDowell, Parry, Powers, Roman, Ross, Smith, Taylor, Vaughan, Woods, and Worrilow.
