Pat, That is exactly my line, sort of. My direct line is thru Ransom Wesley's brother, Turner Harris, Sn. He is probably the Tur Harris Snr that is witness to Ransom Wesley's will. The only other info that I have is that Jesse Harris born 1730 first wife was Elizabeth Reid but have had no luck with finding proof. I will have to look into the Family Finder.
