Harris, William (Jun 8, 1836 – Jul 11, 1903) by Thomas Wheatley

From the Ancestral File Record, we find that William Harris was born to
McGee Harris and Mary (Polly) Givens on June 8, 1836 in Big Springs,
Wilson, Tennessee.

It is apparent that William Harris came with his parents to the Rocky
Mountains in the Heber C. Kimball Company of 1848. William would have
been 12 years old at the time.

William married Emmeline Whittle August 20, 1861 at age 25 in Richmand,
Cache, Utah.  They were later sealed to each other in the
Endowment House December 27, 1864.

William died July 11, 1903 at the age of 67.
