HARRIS DNA—GROUP 1

This is an ongoing project seeking to chart out lines of descent that have been DNA tested as shown on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. Information is based on DNA results, lineage information supplied by kit submitters, Bible records, vital records, legal documents, census records, family histories, internet sources, etc. In some cases the paper trail and/or information found on the web or other sources may be in error. Please view this information as a tool and not as proven fact.

NOTICE: Information presented in these webpages is not to be construed as PROVABLE FACTS. It is up to the user to verify all information that he/she receives. Some information has been provided by kits submitters and their own research. Other information has been added from other sources. Additions and corrections are welcome.

Lineage information in pointed brackets < > lists the Group Number and the DNA Kit Number as found on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page. Additional information will be included as more DNA markers are tested and as more participants match up with this grouping.

This group belongs to the R1b1 haplogroup, with Kit #17997, #81243, and #47568 being the R1b1b2 haplogroup and Kit #39187 representing the R1b1b2a1a haplogroup. For information on Genetic Distances in Group 1 and to see a note on the paternal ancestry of this line, view this page: Genetic Distances - Group 1

Here are lineage charts (supported by DNA) that fall into Group 1 of the Harris Y-DNA Results. All spouses are not shown—only the ones that are listed as the parent of the generation that follows. For questionable generations, the names are preceded by an asterisk *. This means the connection between the PERSON WITH AN ASTERISK and the PREVIOUS generation are unproven.

The modal listing of Group 1 up to 67 markers is listed on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page.

In order to better compare matches in Group 1, the modal listing has also been posted on Ysearch with a user ID of FNFEX. To view the modal listing go to the Ysearch user ID page for FNFEX

For an exact match to this group, the submitter must be a male with the HARRIS surname, be from the same haplogroup, and the DNA markers from his kit number should match exactly with these results. In most cases there will be at least one variation in DNA marker values. If the two test kits are from close relatives, then the variation is due to normal mutations of DNA. DNA mutations may occur every 4 or 5 generations. Some specific markers tested are known to mutate faster than others.
From the lineages supplied, it appears that all 6 of the submitters in the group, descend from David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820) of Virginia and Clarke County, Georgia.

HARRIS DNA GROUP 1 LINEAGE CHARTS
The lineage numbers supplied tie the line in with DNA Group 1.

Lineage #1=Albert H. Harris (1823-1899), great-grandson of David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820)—DNA Kit #17997
Lineage #2=Felix G. Harris (1832-1909), great-grandson of David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820)—DNA Kit #22264
Lineage #3=Joel Morton Harris (1839-1883), great-grandson of David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820)—DNA Kit #81243
Lineage #4=Thomas Harris (ca. 1770-1815), son of David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820)—DNA Kit #39187
Lineage #5=Jeptha P. Harris (1836-1886), great-grandson of David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820)—DNA Kit #47568
Lineage #6=William M. Harris, Jr. (1824-1885), great-grandson of David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820)—DNA Kit #N18809

Lineage #1.—DNA Kit #17997—Ysearch ID #SD34H. This is for the line of Albert H. Harris (1823-1899). He is a great-grandson of David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820) of Clarke County, Georgia as listed in other lineages in this group.

This Kit’s Ysearch user ID is SD34H. Additional information on the paternal line back to David Harris, Sr. (ca. 1745-ca. 1820) can be found on theYsearch user ID page for SD34H

This family’s migration pattern is: Virginia > Clarke Co., GA > Marshall Co., MS > Morgan Co., AL > Williamson Co., TX.

This kit is a 67-marker test that matches the 67-marker modal in all results with no variances. This kit belongs to the R1b1b2 haplogroup which is a subset of the R1b1 haplogroup. Because of a very close match with a Woods family DNA, Kit#17997 has been moved to the Woods Y-DNA surname project. It is thought by the DNA submitter that David Harris appears to descend from a Woods line based on exact DNA matches from the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation database.
