Farris family spent in Barry Co. MO were recorded as a Pharis family,
even in marriage records.  Only on the census were they listed as Farris
and even then were not indexed.  James N. Farris was killed by
bushwhackers on his way to the mill as is reported in Goodspeed's
"History of Barry Co." along with 33 others of that area at that time.
