What is interesting is that there is a Family Finder that goes through this man that MAY carry Harris 8 autosomal dna. Jesse Harris Sr. ca 1730 1807 dies in Oglethorpe GA with second wife Charity. someone from this family can correct my notes, but I have: Jesse Harris 1730 VA d ca 1807 Oglethorpe GA first wife unknown, m 2nd Charity Webb widow of Justus Napp. Jesse Jr. Harris 1754 Louisa VA 1833 Davidson NC m Frances Ward Ransom Wesley Harris 1783 Rowan NC 1841 m Elizabeth Wood now coming down the tree from Ransom WEsley Harris, 1783 he has son RAnsom W. Harris as mentioned by Peggy, but Ransom 1783 also has a daughter, Delinda, according to a FF tree Delinda (FF tree of G. C. Church) Harris b 1809 Rowan now Davidson NC m Hope Skeen. The FF tree of G. C. Church has a match going through Delinda and thus up every ancestor she has. The connection could be Harris, WArd, Wood or their connecting ancestors. If it is Harris, then the match is probably Harris 8 through a non paternal event. As I understand it, no one can place Jesse Harris 1730 and no one has a male to test from this line; however somebody from this line (male or female) could do a FF to see what peripheral families tie into Jesse. This Church man potentially carries autosomal dna from a Harris 8 or Gipson/Gibson going through this Harris line. Pat Harris In a message dated 6/13/2012 10:40:52 A.M.

Mrs Wallace, thanks for your very helpful (as always) info. We've corresponded before about my Smiths. (It was my Smith grandfather who married the Harris.) Pat, thank you for the additional info you sent earlier about DNA testing and results. Once again, I'll appreciate anything any of you have that might help. As several of you have said, there were so many Harrises with the same names! A lot more than the other branches of my family.

I am in the Harris dna group 8. I read all the postings on Harris Hunters and am wondering if any of our "posters" have come across the name DOWNEY in Amelia, Prince Edward or Pittslyvania. My Downey family went into Guilford and Surry (now Yadkin) where they intermarried with the Morris family from New Jersey to NC then on to Kentucky. Then this is where all my lines come together in Warren Co. George Overton Harris Jr b 1790 has daughter, Agnes b 1813, who married John Prather in 1832. They had daughter Eliza who married my great grandfather Granville Monroe Morris Oh My, things do get complicated. Mary June

The Harris DNA project with its numerous family groups can be found at Harrisdna.org When Ira posted the cemetery information, the burial record of one of the women coincides with a census record and also with a DNA donor test for that man's line . 1850 United States Federal Census > North Carolina > Granville > Fishing Creek Asa Harris 43 NC Mary 41 NC Alexander Harris 16 NC Melchisa Harris 16 NC Source Citation: Year: 1850; Census Place: Fishing Creek, Granville, North Carolina; Roll: M432_631; Page: 86; Image: 169. Then from Ira's post 25. Longmire, Melkaza (Melchivia) Green > Wife of William Iverson Longmire (said to be buried here) > 26. Longmire, William Iverson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > Husband of Melkaza Green Longmire. CSA. (said to be buried here) also from Ancestry.com boards: _http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.coun ties.granville/1092/mb.ashx?pnt=1_ (http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.granville/1092/mb.ashx?pnt=1) Everything falls into place to assign the family Ira discussed as a DNA 2 found family. DNA 2 is not the largest group in the project, but it has far ranging locations, so would be nice to tie the people together with further research which hopefully Ira's research has facilitated. It also effectively eliminates the questions on the OTHER Ransom Harris/Elizabeth Gilliam line because that is a known DNA family from Harris Group 4. In a message dated 6/12/2012 1:31:35 P.M.

As a partial expansion of Pat Clare's e-mail given below, one should look for *missing* Harrises of Virginia (perhaps of Maryland also) at least in the colonial period in North Carolina.  Lord Granville had not given up his land claims in North Carolina as other *proprietors* had, and about (more or less) 1746 or so, many Virginian families went to North Carolina.  Some good reasons for Virginians to go to North Carolina: 1)  In Virginia, primogeniture [look thatup on wiki--or your old-fashioned dictionary] was the LAW.  If you were a younger son, tough luck!!! (Crafty colonial folks, like one ancestor of mine, acquired LOTS of Virginia land, particularly south of the James River, and deeded this land to his several younger sons. He, another common-surnamed ancestor, went to Granville Co. ca 1755 and his will indicated he was a wealthy man. But indeed one had to be crafty--or like another ancestor (HARRIS) around Louisa-Albenarle Cos., VA who became colonial county surveyor and acquired lots of land, as probable payment for his surveying activities.  He generously gave land to his several sons and slaves to his sons-in-law.) 2)  The land was cheaper in North Carolina than in Virginia. Mrs. Margaret M. Hofmann has published at least four volumes of pre-Revolutionary North Carolina land grants, some of the Granville District and others for more western parts of North Carolina.  One of the experts on North Carolina geneaology has indicated in a long-ago lecture in Richmond, VA that many early NC settlers were from Virginia.  Reason:  The *graveyard of ships*--that is, the barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina prevented easy entry from the Atlantic.  Until one gets to Wilmington, NC, there are inadquate harbors in NC. 3)  Tobacco, according to historians, uses up the land, and new land was always being sought.  (Even 20 years or so ago, when I visited Granville Co., I was told by the county attorney--with whom I shared a lunch counter at Rexall Drugstore--that tobacco was still the economic base of Granville Co.)  BE VERY CAREFUL in not misidentifying those somewhat later Harris males in North Carolina, however, as they have some of the same given names as their cousins or uncles in Virginia.  (One of the brothers of my Chrsitopher Harris of late colonial Albemarle Co., VA, later of Madison Co., KY was named Tyree or Tyre Harris, appaarently the eldest son.  He and his first wife migrated to Orange Co. NC, part of which became Caswell Co. NC in 1777.  I cannot tell you how frequently I trip over the name Tyree Harris.  Using google.com, one day I found there was living professor named Tyree Harris.  Tradition does not die early in parts of the South. Besides the rather expensive NC colonial land record books by Mrs. Hofmann [note the spelling of the surname] there is a NC will index, which I am told is now on the internet.  I have not looked for it there.  It was compiled some time ago by an archivist at the NC State Archives: Thornton W. Mitchell:  North Carolina Wills:  A Testator Index, 1665-1900 Corrected and Revised Edition [Baltimore;   Genealogical Publ. Co.2nd printing 1993] (If you find the URL or if it is on Ancestry.com or some such genealogical website, how about sharing the URL, especially if it is free? In my hard copy, there are three pages of Harris wills, with two columns on each page.  As with many NC publications, instead of the county name there is a code for each county.  So, if you find this book on the internet, be sure to print out, at least, the codes for your particular counties of interest.  About NC--Remember for that many a decade, Tennessee was a part of North Carolina. And I believe Kentucky and Tennessee had quarrels about their boundaries.  Ancestors are where you find them!!!  In a military prison, in a divorce court, in a fort far from the rest of hi family!!!) Oh, yes, Mitchell does not have a will listed for an Asa Harris in NC.  Perhaps he died intestate, or else he removed to another STATE.

Pat, one question - What do you mean "Ransom m Sukey is NOW dna 2"? Does that mean there aren't a lot of "responders" from that line? I'm not real informed on compiling results of DNA tests.

Ransom of Isham is DNA 4 Ransom m Highfield is now DNA 2 >From the notes I have, a Tyre Harris of Caswell NC was bondsman on the marriage of Ransom to Sukey Highfield in1805 The DNA definitely separates these families from one another.

This my Harris line. Yes, I think this Ransom was married to Susan (Sukey) Highfield. I'm not at my computer to look at the database, and I've been away from "this search" for several years, so I can't remember all the details. My documented info is Ransom and Sukey, Hanson and Marina Cole, Willis Nelson and Mary Bernard Conway and my grandmother, Lena Armistead. The information handed down in our family (including the people listed in this original post - Blackleys, etc) through the years is that this Ransom was the son of Ransom who was the son of Isham.

Barb, I don't know which one this is. I have not done much research on this line. I was simply passing it on for posterity. I know that there were at least two, or possibly more, Ransom Harris'. Years ago I figured out that this Harris line was not part of mine, so I did not go any further than a few names.
