I believe that stories of the past should be shared and treasured. I want to create a place that we can share such stories and work together to create a more complete picture of these ancestors, as well as document facts about their lives. Please join me.

    I believe he died in 1845. I have a photocopy of his tombstone that was given to me at the History Room of the Sycamore Library in Illinois. I am related to his son Benjamin, through his son Lord Melbourne, and his son, Ulysses Melbourne, etc.

    I've found a book on Benoni Harris that is available - either through a library or you may purchase a copy. Here's the link: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL11696716M/Benoni_Harris_Sr._(1761-1845)_Revolutionary_Soldier_of_Massachusetts_Methodist_Preacher_of_New_York_Illinois

    It has some great stories - and much information. Research notes are included.
