The descendants of that William are testing to Group 8 DNA. Edward Harris of Louisa had a wife Ann, and he lived in the traditional area given to Group 8 on Cub Creek. He sells out in 1749 in the part of Louisa that was Cub Creek, and by 1751, an Edward Harris is in Lunenburg. The one there has a wife Ann and lives on Reece's Fork of Twitty's Creek, with proven Group 8 descendants. Davis, Rosalie E. Louisa County, Virginia Deed Books A-B.

Edward Harris of Cornwall Parish ***Charlotte Co. to Henry Isbell of same, for 30 pounds, 100 acres in Charlotte on Reads Fork.// All waterways and appurtenances. ***Ann, wife of Edward Harris, mentioned. Signed: Edwd. Harris Witness: none Recorded: 7 Oct 1766 Someone would have to look at original records to see if Edward Harris marked or signed on the last deed. Whoever he is, he has Group 8 descendants. The other Edward Harris who is testing Group 8 lived on both sides of Harris Creek off the Appomatox River in now Prince Edward, formerly Amelia, VA near Abraham Venable and died ca 1747. According to the donor information, that Edward Harris was the one born ca 1675 married to his last wife, Unity. That family through the son Nathaniel Harris went to Rockingham/Orange NC and can be followed. Other parts of that family went to the area of Lexington, KY. **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
