  • Notes: 

  • Samuel Harris is said to have died at Fort Edward, New York, while serving as an army physician. His marriage to Dinah Wilcox is recorded at New London and Killingworth, Connecticut. The latter giving the marriage date as 15 JAN 1723/4, but that is likely incorrect as they had children born before and near that date.
