Hi, Your Thomas HARRIS definitely fits into the Nathan HARRIS (1716-1793) and Catherine WALTON family but Thomas was not listed as their son. This HARRIS family was from Brunswick County, VA, according to most. However, Nathan's grandfather was Thomas HARRIS II (1636-1698) of Charles City so Nathan could have had a cousin of the same name, or even a son of the same name, that we do not know about. I know that Thomas II had a son, Thomas III ( Thomas HARRIS b: 1677 Marriage 1 Judith EDWARDS) who could well be the ancestor of your Thomas. There are two names around my DANIEL family that I cannot account for if they were from where most now say they were from -- EDWARDS and HICKS. We know my DANIEL family of Burke, Jefferson and later, Morgan County, GA, are 25/25 marker matches to descendants of Capt. James DANIEL (1709-1761) and Jane HICKS of Albemarle County, VA. We also know that two or more of their descendants moved to Granville County, NC (Chesley, Josiah and James DANIEL, Jr.). We just do not know how my DANIEL bunch are related to them since my DANIEL family was located over 100 miles to the SE of these folks in Granville down in Johnston, Dobbs and later, Greene County, NC in about the same time frames, yet both of these DANIEL families share a most recent common ancestor. However, Chesley is a given name in my DANIEL family of Burke County, GA but there is no known connection from it to Chesley DANIEL (1730-1814) and Judith Woodson CHRISTIAN of Granville County, NC but they have to connect. However, Chesley does not have a son named Robert Chesley DANIEL (ABT 1765-AFT 1830) or even any known attachments to a Penelope LANE (1773-1846). who was RCD's wife. However, they are family as DNA tests have shown. I do not know -- maybe you have some thoughts. John R.
