Hey Mark, no problem. This Harris family is very very tricky to try to figure out. My dilema is this. The John Harris that was married to Lydia Glancy,his father was John Harris married to Cassander/Cassandra Hughs. My mother has always told me that her dad always said that his family founded Harrisburg PA,but also came from England. It seems if I recall the Harris family that settled in Pennsylvania did come over from England. But trying to tie the Licking County Harris family to anyone is very difficult. From what I have found is the John Harris that was in Licking County was born in Virginia. not knowing for certain what township John and Cassander lived in I can only go by assumptions. Cassander Harris died in 1842 and is buried in Mary Ann Township. This is the same township that John Harris and his family all the way through lived until sometime after 1850. John Harris was 66 yrs old,so it doesn't seem that he would of picked up and moved, especially when I find his w!
ife living in the 1860 census in Putnam County Oh. I think trying to find factual information is very difficult. So... I don't know,trying to find someone that is tied to this family is like a needle in a Haystack.
