The late Michael S. HARRIS came to the Bend in 1836. Born in Annapolis, N.S. in 1801, he married Sarah Ann TROOP in 1826 and had children as follows; Jane HARRIS wife of John A, HUMPHREY, now a member of the local legislature for Westmorland Co. and president of Humphrey's mills, Moncton Parish; George HARRIS, deceased; Eliza HARRIS wife of Robert COCHRANE, Moncton; John L. HARRIS and C.P. HARRIS who are at present in business in Moncton, the former being president of Moncton gas light and water company, Moncton sugar refining company and Moncton cotton company and both holding large amounts of stock of these companies. Joseph A. HARRIS, barrister-at-law, for some years resident of Boston, Mass., but now practicing his profession in Moncton; and Isabel HARRIS wife of J.S. COWIE, also resident in Moncton. After his marriage in 1826, the late Michael S. Harris removed from Annapolis to St. John, N.B. and a few years later to Norton (Kings Co.) where he did business as a carriage maker. In 1836 he came to the Bend engaging in lumbering and shipbuilding. From 1840 to 1862, he sent many cargoes of lumber to Europe and frequently going to Great Britain with his vessels. In 1859 he was elected mayor of Moncton. He was for some years a deputy sheriff and held a magistrate's court.
