pat   some time last year you and mitch came on harris hunters, saying that a descendant of this william h. harris/ lucinda harris of gwinnett co, ga had participated in the harris dna project and was a match with our harris dna group 8.   as i replied also on harris hunters, i never received any notice that a descendant of this william h. harris/ lucinda rawlins was a match with my brother david harris or that i could find this person's info/ results on our harris dna results page for our harris dna group 8.   so, was their a descendant of this william h. harris/ lucinda rawlins who participated in the harris dna project or not?   i have learned myself other info which certainly makes me interested in this william h. harris/ lucinda rawlins there in gwinnett co, ga.   when my father's great uncle william abe harris wrote the brief harris family history re our arch harris/ elizabeth carter in 1933 in paulding co, ga, he wrote that our arch harris had brothers, dan and edd harris.   this dan harris is definitely shown to have been the same daniel harris, who was there in paulding co, ga in 1850 and who, like our arch harris/ elizabeth carter, by 1860, had also moved to cleburne co, al.   the only edd/ edward harris i could find, per studying the census records earlier, was, per the 1860 paulding co, ga census, there was an edward harris, who was living near samuel harris; craven harris, etc, in the pumpkin vine creek area and it has always been understood  there in paulding co, ga that this samuel harris/ craven harris harris family was not related to our arch harris/ elizabeth carter's harris family.   so, of course, i thought that this edward harris was related to their harris family not ours.   recently i had an email from someone,  who descends from samuel harris and who corresponds with me periodically,  telling me that he now believes that this edward harris was ours and that he was the edward harris,  brother of our arch harris/ elizabeth carter and that when our daniel harris moved to cleburne co, al that edward harris had moved into his house and continued to live there and oddly enough or not, it was near his samuel harris, etc.   i do not have access to the census records for now but someone found for me that there was an edward harris in 1850 in gwinnett co, ga, who certainly seems to be the same edward harris and as i rechecked the info,  and if the same, edward, both our edward harris and this william h. harris/ lucinda rawlins were living in this same cates district in gwinnett co, ga and both had sons, harrison harris, etc.   so, again, i need to find out from you and mitch if someone from this william h. harris/ lucinda rawlins actually did participate in the harris dna project and is a harris dna group 8 match with us.   besides my own interest in this william h. harris and now learning that this was probably our arch harris/ elizabeth carter's  brother, edward harris, there in paulding co, ga and, again, perhaps, also in gwinnett co, ga, this opens up the possibility that other of this harris family others have been interested in there in paulding co, ga, etc, may have also been related to us.   thanks for any help with this.   belva harris cauthen harris dna group 8--------26910
