At first glance it caught my attention that both his mother and wife are named Mary Turner, as currently connected. When I see that kind of thing, I always question it and look to see if it's documented to be true. In this case, I found on Ancestry that the SAR application shows his wife is, in fact, Mary Turner but that his mother was Mary Thorpe and I've attached a copy of that under the Media tab.

Name Weste Harris

Birth 13 Aug 1715 Virginia

Death 14 May 1795 In, North Carolina

Spouse Mary Turner

Father Edward Harris

Mother Mary Thorpe

Children Isham Harris

I'm not going to make the correct. I leave that to the assigned curator or one of the profile managers.
