White County, Illinois, February 1st, 1844, Lucy Harris, aged 84 years: “That she is
the widow of Robert Harris who was a private soldier in the War of the Revolution.
He resided in North Carolina and served probably  in both North and South Carolina.
From age and loss of memory, she is unable to state many of the particulars as to
the length of his services or the officers under whom he served. He may have served
before her marriage with him, and she knows that he served considerably after her
marriage. He was at the siege  of Charleston and the defeat at Monk’s Corner. His
captains were Bethel and Raiford.”

of  1779 by a minister named Thomas Mullins, by being published and in Guilford
County, NC.  That she has no record evidence of her marriage and that her husband,
the aforesaid Robert Harris died on the 9th day of June, 1806 and that she has
remained a widow ever since that time.”
