One possibility is that there is more than one Joseph Harris ----also, if the DAR application you are referring to is prior to 1960, the information may not be correct or reliable. Since 1960, the genealogists have been much more careful in their documentation. In a message dated 6/3/2009 8:06:31 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: This is interesting. The DAR application has that Joseph had a second wife Mary Hamilton and that he died in Delaware Co OH 2 March 1863. She was born 12 Dec 1808 in OH and died 17 Oct 1899 in Delaware Co, OH. How can this be if you have Joseph still in Washington Co, with Nancy in 1870.? Merry Anne > > 24 Jul 1870 - Record 708 Wash. Co.
