  Notes	Of Leonardtown, St. Mary's Co., Maryland, according to Franklin Harris's notebook. The notebook does not give the dates. I assume that the gravestones at ndagrave.com are the same people. When I have certain confirmation, I'll begin to add others of the family. Ellenborough Cemetery is also apparently known as the Harris family cemetery. See: "Joseph Harris of 'Ellenborough'." Chronicles of St. Mary's 45 (Spring 1997): 189-93. See at findagrave: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=19077662&PIpi=5883808
