It runs in the family!

Not the last of the Harris line to work for the post office! From Google Books, this:

TABLE POST OFFICE IM ТВБ UNITED STATES WITH THE NAMES OF THE POSTMASTERS 1 COUNTIES A LB STATES IN WHICH THEY АКБ SITUATED ABB DISTANCES FROM THE CITY OF WASHINGTON AND THE CAPITALS OF THE RESPECTIVE STATES ST DIBEcriOH OF THE POSr MAsrER GENEBJti i WASHINGTON CIW 1819

This book was published in 1819. By that time Campbell Harris was already in New York so I suppose this was out of date when printed. It seems that Campbell's duties as postmaster were probably tied to his activities at the General Wayne.

  1. I didn't realize you were related to Jane Alexander. I loved her portrayal of Eleanor Roosevelt. Did you know that we have a new president worthy of FDR and Eleanor?? I'm certain that Michelle will hold her own as the Nouvelle Eleanor...
