Excerpt from Genealogical and Biographical Sketches of the New Jersey Branch of the Harris Family, in the United States To write the history of my ancestors, and to rescue from oblivion the records and statistics of the different families, has been with me a pleasant pastime. While it has been much labor to gather the material for this work, if I shall be the means of preserving for future generations and historians, records and matters which are within the recollection of but very few now living, my time and toil have been well spent.
