Thanks Edith, I watch very close on your posts as I know you are working on this line of John H Harris. Have you any ideas which Harris line I could put Jacob M Harris? I think I would be happy with a theory to follow up on. I spent a day this summer going over old news papers at the archives in Des Moines, IA., checked Eldon, Bloomfield, and Ottumwa for an obit. No luck! Mike Lamb >From: "Edith Williams" <edithw@gbronline.com> >To: "Mike Lamb" <mclamb50@hotmail.com>,<HARRIS-HUNTERS-L@rootsweb.com> >Subject: Re: [HH] John H.
