Randy, Abednego Harris married Ann Jasper in Pulaski Co., KY in 1828 and his first two children, Francis M. & Thomas J., both born in KY, were by her. Abednego was listed as age 42, b. in Wash. Co. VA in the 1850 RCV census. The Meshack Harris in HH #872 of the 1850 RCV census was almost certainly Abednego's brother. Meshack was age 48, b. Wash. Co. VA in the 1850 census. Also, he married Elizabeth Dye in Pulaski Co., KY in 1820. Not much chance of two persons with the same last name, being close in age, born the same place, moved to the same county in another state and marry and then both move back without them being closely related.
