see pp 6-10 The North Carolina colonial bar By Ernest Hamlin Alderman

Edward and Charles Harris, being dissenters, were driven from Ayrshire, in Scotland, at the time of the persecution of the Protestants in the reign of Charles II, or of his successor, James. They settled in County Donegal, near Rapho, Ireland. They were possessed of a valuable estate in Scotland, which was lost on account of their abandoning it.



EDWARD HARRIS, of Scotland, who abandoned his large estates, which were confiscated (and never recovered) in consequence of the persecution of the Covenanters in the reign of Charles II, or his successor, James II (1660 to 1689), and settled in the County Donegal, near Rapho, in Ireland, his brother Charles accompanying him and receiving like treatment.[2]

Edward Harris (1) was married to Flora Douglass, of the famous family of that name who resided near the borders of England. Their children were Edward, Robert and James.[2]
