Talk:Moses Harris (mountain man)

Oregon Pioneers document
There was a lot of research done for the biography of Moses Harris in this document, but I am having a hard time finding reliable sources (i.e., not personal websites, genealogy postings) for:
 * Born about 1800
 * Born in Union County, South Carolina
 * Married a Native American woman and had several children
 * That he is white or bi-racial - I have not found any reliable sources that have said that. The biggest clue, IMO, comes from the mock epitaph by James Clyman. See Moses Harris (mountain man). However, the document states that Jess Applegate said he was a deeply tanned white man. It says secondly that Rev. Cushing Eells said that Moses was called a half-breed.
 * Based upon his letters, he seemed to have been well-educated.
