Grace, I was hoping Jordan and Hadden's Genealogical and Personal History of Fayette County would answer your question but it isn't always that simple. It does contain a writeup on the Asa/Elizabeth HARRIS family (Asa is the 5th generation it traces) and it names the same four children for the couple; then gives info only on the Samuel line. The only further info it gives, and this may be very helpful to you, is that John was active in the War of 1812. One would presume if John lived till 1860 he drew a pension and can thus be identified as the Georges Township John if indeed they were the same person. Suggest you request his military paperwork from NARA, but don't expect a quick response because of the anthrax scare. Regards, Susan Joy Lewis >Asa HARRIS (b 1762 CT; d.

 I am looking for the family of a Rhoda Harris, born 1805, Fayette County, PA, who married a William Finley; b. August 1798; they emigrated into Doylestown, Ohio where they died. Any possible connection??
