Generation No. 2

2. WILEY² HARRIS (ELIZABETH¹ "BETSEY")^53,^54,^55,⁵⁶ was born 1779 in Albemarle County, Virginia ^57,⁵⁸, and died May 1856 in Augusta County, Virginia⁵⁸. He married (1) ELIZABETH JAMESON^59,^60,^61,⁶² 20 December 1799 in Ablemarle County, Virginia ⁶³, daughter of SAMUEL JAMESON and MARGARET CRAIG.

Notes for WILEY HARRIS:
There is a Wiley Harris in Augusta County in the 1840 census. Also in the 1850 census, living with a Nancy age 56. If this is in fact the right Wiley Harris, this must be a second wife as she would have been only 6 when the first child was born.

According to information on Rootsweb, should check out Albemarle County wills, Book 3, page 324 for will dated 10 August 1796 and proved July 1797. And will for Margaret Jameson, Book 19, page 423
dated 10 June 1845.

Nancy is shown as Wiley's wife in the 1850 Augusta County, Virginia census. Due to the fact that Wiley's first child was born in 1800 this must be a second wife.
