appears on the Collet map, 1770. It was the location of the Granville County courthouse for various periods between 1746 and 1764 and was located between Hachers Run and Fishing Creek SE of the present town of Oxford. Named for Sherwood Harris, a local citizen. In 1778 it was described by James Iredell as containing "half a dozen straggling houses, and is a burlesque upon a town." It continued to exist, however, until Oxford was made the county seat in 1811. |
