Lineage 36-The Cuthbert Harrison Line of Barnwell, South Carolina and Georgia

This line, like lineage 22, goes back to Burr Harrison and Frances Burdette. Unlike lineage 22, however, this line is haplogroup I-M253. There are not enough 17th century Harrison lines tested yet to be sure whether Burr Harrison was haplogroup R or I, so one of these lines will need to be adjusted in the earliest generations.
