I recently found a letter written by my gg grandfather listing his family members. there was only names no dates. with this additional information I have been able to connect into another generation. What I am trying to clear up is who is the wife of Johnathan Harris. Most online sites have Casto as the last name. Here is what he wrote:: Nathaniel Harris had a son Jonathan who married Catherine Golden who was from Germany and came to the US when she was 16. Their children: David, Rachel, Rebecca, Nancy, *Joel, George, William John Harris , cousin of Nathaniel, had son Joel who married Nellie Ingersoll, who is the sister of Bob Ingersol's father. Children of Joel and Nellie are Judith, *Sarah, Rebecca, Thomas, Annias, Philip *Joel and *Sarah's children are Rebeccca, Ben, Nancy, Rachel, Lot, Thomas, Sam. Ben married Harriet Mitchell who died 1855. Their children are Jane and Nute (Newton) He married second wife Amanda Peery. their children are Robert, Ida, Ola, Emma Ben is Benjamin E Harris my gg grandfather, His son Newton married Ida Coovert, their children are Gladys, Winona, Wanda. Wanda is my grandmother. I do not know anything about the Harris family other than from Ben on. The web is a wonderful thing but not everything is accurate. I love the ability to cut and past but not everyone has sources for their information, Wandering where the "Golden" connection came from. Is Ben right and everyone else wrong. As much as I want to believe what he wrote it appears he may have been wrong. Anyone have documentation on this. Looks like they are from New Jersey as that is where Ben's father Jonathan was born, with Ben being born in Ohio, then Missouri as that is where Newton was born then on to Oregon where my grandmother Wanda was born. I do have a great obit for Benjamin that listed his parents. Love the way they did this way back when. 1913 Judy Versteeg Fry Harris-Coovert Odell-Holman Versteeg-Stoutenburg Bales-Sherman Fry-Ross
