Pam, I appreciate your effort in posting your lineage, and I have read all your postings. But the fact remains that your line is probably not my line of Harris. If you will go the the Harris y-DNA results page you will discover that there are already 49 groups of unrelated tested Harris lines, besides all the other tested Harris' who are unassigned to a group because there is only one person tested from his line. I want everyone to know I appreciate their in-put because you never know when someone will post a clue to your own line of Harris. I may never know who was the father of my Archibald Harris born ca1770's in NC, and died before 1830 in Fayette County, Illinois. But I keep searching anyway. He was an ordained Baptist preacher. Spent time in Fayette Co., Kentucky 1801-1809; Christian Co., Kentucky 1810-1817; Jefferson Co., Illinois 1817-1826; Fayette Co., Illinois 1826 when he ceased to make records.
