Richard, Your post caught my interest, since we are still in search of William Harris (b. 1798 PA)' lineage. Washington County is not near to Wayne County, PA, I realize, but one never knows--he may have travelled north as an adult, found his wife (Betsey Sharp), and decided to stay where her family was in Wayne. Do you have any thoughts on Mary Harris Mustard's parents? I see that William is a common given name in the next generation, a few times over, so that is encouraging... thanks for your thoughts on the matter Holly Harris Jagger Binghamton NY
