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.
