More Information:
About David Harris:
From Marie Harris Key's book:
"David Harris b. 1780 in Burke Co., N.C., d. 1845-50 in Gwinnette
Co., Ga. He was m. Oct. 22, 1811 in Burke Co. to Rebecca Gilbert, dau. of Michael Gilbert. Bondsman
was Reid Hight and Witness was D. C. Moore, both of Burke Co., N.C. David Harris was the youngest child
of Miniard Harris and Sarah Johnson Harris. Miniard Harris, his father, sold his plantation in Va.,
Charlotte Co. in Feb. 1775. It is presumed that Miniard Harris and family, Edward Harris and family,
David Harris and his family and perhaps Braddock Harris, migrated into N. C. at this time. They were
in Rowan Co. until 1777 when Burke was taken from Rowan Co. Later in the year Wilkes was taken from
part of Burke and Surry Cos. The male population of Burke Co. was said to be about 50 in 1777. Families
lived near each other along creeks and rivers. After the new Cos. were formed in 1777, it found part
of the Harris Family in Burke and part in Wilkes. David Harris was an infant at time his father was
killed in Battle of King's Mountain, Oct. 7, 1780. His mother, Sarah Johnson Harris, was left with
a big family of children. It is said by some of the Edward Harris line that the different brothers of
Miniard helped her with the children.
Rebecca Gilbert was the daughter of Michael Gilbert. She
was born in Lincoln Co., N.C. One of the last three born in Lincoln Co. The other six children were
born in Va., Bedford Co. They were in the 1790 Census in Lincoln Co., but soon afterward moved into
Burke Co. The Gilbert, the Estes, and the Harris families were all neighbors in Burke Co. along the
John's River not far from where Collettsville is now located. The Harris's married Gilbert's and Estes's.
The Gilberts married Estes's. This part of Burke Co. is now Caldwell Co.
David Harris and Rebecca
Gilbert Harris lived in Burke Co., N. C. until after 1824. This was the year that David and John Harris
sold their plantation. They were in the 1830 Census of Buncombe Co. An uncle of the writer, Judge
V. B. Harris left a short sketch of this family with his personal papers. He said all of the children
were born in Burke Co. His father, James Gilbert, was not born until 1827. The youngest child, Carita,
was born in Buncombe Co., as they were there by 1830. They probably migrated into Buncombe Co. by
1825. If so, James Gilbert was the only son born in Buncombe Co. in 1827. Before the 1840 Census was
taken, David and his family had migrated into Ga., Gwinnett Co. David's name did not appear on the
1850 Census of Gwinnett Co. but the names of his children (those still unmarried) and Rebecca, his wife,
were listed on the 1850 Census."
