Clifton Harris (b. ca. 1785) was still in Albemarle County in 1853. He served as deputy sheriff until at least 1817. Harris pledged $100 to Central College, and in 1836 he supported Martin Van Buren’s presidential candidacy. The 1850 census described him as a teacher ( , 221; , 2:1303, 1338; , 406; Richmond Enquirer, 13 Feb. 1836; DNA: RG 29, CS, Albemarle Co., 1850; 19 [1960/61]: 57).
Charles B. Hunton (d. 1818) was sheriff of Albemarle County, 1813–15. He was appointed a county magistrate in 1791, took a leading role in the organization in 1808 of a volunteer unit, the Albemarle Military Association, and published a short newspaper essay on “Fly-Proof Wheat” in the year before his death (Enquirer, 24 Dec. 1808; Richmond Enquirer, 24 June 1817; Albemarle Co. Will Book, 8:104).
