Some Early Harrises And Possible DNA Connections

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=harrisdna...

Edward Harris is in Group 4 of the Harris DNA study.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gohrpage/harrisdna/group4....

"There has been much discussion on the Harris lists on Rootsweb as to whether Group 4 or Group 12 descends from Sergeant John Harris (ca. 1588-ca. 1638) of Charles City Co., Virginia. The DNA of the two groups does not match. It would be helpful to find a DNA submitter in England that traces back to Sir William Harris (1556-1616) of Creeksea, County Essex, England."

-------------------------------------------------------

Edward made his will in Isle of Wight Co., Va. on April 27, 1733, and it was probated March 25, 1734. He stated he was from Upper Parish in Isle of Wight. He left to son Edward “ land adjoining John Johnson and John Turner; being land which was granted to my father, Thomas Harris; son Jacob, land on the Flatt Swamp of the Meherrin River; sons Nathan and West Harris, the land granted me on the north side of Warwick Branch; son Daniel, daughter Martha Williamson: son James; wife Mary. Executor, son Nathan Harris. (Isle of Wight, Will Book 3, p. 391. More information on Edward’s children can be found in this book).
