ALBERT M. and OLA RICHARDSON HARRIS FAMILY BOOK

This is a book written by the late Lester Lee Harris. Lester was an early member of Harris Hunters newsletter (#62) and passed away (June of 2000) a few years after he finished his book in 1996. The book follows the line of Thomas(1) F. Harris and Susan Conway of Virginia; Silas(2) and Elizabeth Harris; Matthew(3) Y. Harris and Frances Louisa Foster and Albert(4) Matthew Harris 1882-1932 and his wife Ola M. Richardson (1887-1966) of Arkansas and
Oklahoma.

The book is more than just a family history. Because Lester spent quite a bit of space writing of his childhood and growing up in a very poor environment in Oklahoma during the Depression and the Dustbowl, the book offers a picture of those days.

Thomas(1) Harris and his first wife Susan Conway had 6 children: Orison, John D., Susannah, Marianne, Thomas and Charles Timberly Harris. By his 2nd wife Mary _____? he had Robert Riley Harris and Silas Harris. 

The book is a large format (8 1/2 X 11) hard cover book very nicely published, well written and best of all, is well documented. It contains family descendancy charts and has copious amounts of pictures. There are over 375 photographs and almost as many other illustrations, newspaper articles, documents, obituaries and gravestones. It has 509 pages and has an everyname index.

The book is printed on acid free paper and is available at $50.00 postpaid. To order please contact:  Barbara T. Harris, 13410 La Jolla Circle, #202D, La Mirada, CA 90638      llhbth@earthlink.net

                           (History of) KILMARNOCK, SCOTLAND
                                     by ARCHIBALD M'KAY  1864

This is a book on the history of Kilmarnock from the earliest time to the year 1863. The original book had 350 pages, appendices, and an index. I have republished this book in order to make it available to the general public. It is hard to find a copy of the original and only a few of these books may exist in U.S. libraries.

As you all know, this locality is where the Boyds first appeared; the Kilmarnock (Dean) Castle, home of the Boyds for generations, is located less than a mile from the burgh. Therefore, a history of the town contains much of the history of the Boyds. This is not a work of genealogy  but a work of the history of the place, although genealogical information may be found among its pages.

The history of the town is very interesting and detailed to no small degree with information on the early Christian and later Christian churches, politics, charters, disasters; by flood, storm, and panic. It has a lot of the history of the covenanting movement as it pertains to the burgh of Kilmarnock.

For lovers of Robert Burns, much information on his life can be found and many of his poetical effusions have been added that were not in the original book. "The Ayrshire Plowman" or the "Bard of Mossgiel" spent much of his life in Kilmarnock and the first printing of any of his work was printed in the town.  It has 28 chapters as listed below.
