<p>Hello Cousins! I just found this forum and its been so helpful!</p>
<p>I'm Sarah, my paternal ancestor is John Harris Sr./Esther Say (Harrisburg, PA). I was recently gifted my "family bible" FULL of pictures and letters and Ancestry.com sources and have become hooked and obviously SUPER curious.</p>
<p>I found a webpage (on here actually!) concerning many Harris branches, it also contains a very handy numbering system that I have been using with (Familyecho.com) to see if someone, somewhere…</p>
<p>Hello Cousins! I just found this forum and its been so helpful!</p>
<p>I'm Sarah, my paternal ancestor is John Harris Sr./Esther Say (Harrisburg, PA). I was recently gifted my "family bible" FULL of pictures and letters and Ancestry.com sources and have become hooked and obviously SUPER curious.</p>
<p>I found a webpage (on here actually!) concerning many Harris branches, it also contains a very handy numbering system that I have been using with (Familyecho.com) to see if someone, somewhere lines up.</p>
<p>I was aware Nathaniel and Elizabeth were cousins, just not exactly where. I have also been trying to find out if Elizabeth Harris(Harris) was related to John Harris Sr. of Harrisburg, PA. But have not been able to find anything regarding John Harris/Elizabeth Rowe though .... Yet!</p>
<p>To start, Jesse Leonard Harris(1837-1900)/Amanda Florence Hulse(1843-1912), his x3 great grandfather was John Harris Sr. (1673-1748)/Esther.</p>
<p>Amanda was a descendant of Samuel Harris(1696-1773)/Sarah Johnson(1697-1761), whom I believe is Nathaniel Harris/Elizabeth Harris(H) brother, by Thomas Harris Sr. and Ruth James.</p>
<p>(I'll use the number system I found so I don't get confused, and you can find your info later)</p>
<p>One of the branches on the page listed below, is from Scotland that emigrated about the same time as my John14, possibly a bit earlier. John2(1723-1794) is a descendant of them. He is the founder of Mifflinton, PA, and he wrote a letter <span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 28.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">dated July 30, 1900</span></span> to my John14 calling him "cousin" but this could be because John2's mother was born a "McClure" and so was John14's wife.</p>
<p>Hope this was helpful, or I can be of more help to both of us!</p>

<p>Hi there!! I do not have any information on Elizabeth Harris from PA. I'm sorry. I am trying to find information on Catherine Harris born 1699-1700 from PA. I only know she married Robert Sayers born 1700 in PA. They settled in Augusta Co. VA. They are my 7th great grand parents. I have Roberts will and many other documents but only a couple list Catherine. I have found that many have listed William Clariborne Harris (1699-1730) and Temperance Overton (1679-1710) as her parents. But I see…</p>
<p>Hi there!! I do not have any information on Elizabeth Harris from PA. I'm sorry. I am trying to find information on Catherine Harris born 1699-1700 from PA.

I have found that many have listed William Clariborne Harris (1699-1730) and Temperance Overton (1679-1710) as her parents. But I see no documentation supporting that claim. I am new to this site as of last week and trying to find a clue. I saw that your post from some time ago and hope you have found something to work with. Happy hunting!</p>
