Jim, I think you have a Turner Harris who married an Elizabeth Rush. I also have a Turner Harris (b 1799) who married an Elizabeth Rush but one county over in Rowan/Davidson County, NC. I think yours are a few years older. Can get very confusing. My line is from Jesse Harris b abt 1730 and his son, Jesse b abt 1755 then the above Turner.
