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.
So far 27 different DNA kits have been submitted that match up with Group 4. Several different lines for Group 4 seem to trace back to Thomas Harris (ca. 1636-ca. 1688) of Isle of Wight Co., Virginia, according to the family records available from those who have submitted DNA samples. Two other lines go back to Britton H. Harris (1803-1859) of Darlington Co., South Carolina. The other kits that have been submitted are not yet matched up with these two groups, but the DNA markers appear to be a close match.

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.

This group belongs to the I haplogroup. For information on Genetic Distances in Group 4 and to see a note as to what information is needed on the Britton Harris line, view this page: Genetic Distances - Group 4
Here are lineage charts (supported by DNA) that fall into Group 4 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 4 up to 67 markers is listed on the HARRIS Y-DNA RESULTS Page.

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.

To assist in research and discussion, two special e-mail lists for members of Group 4 have been established on Yahoo! Groups. The Yahoo! Groups are a combination of mailing lists with other features such as photo and database storage, polling, etc.

Lineage #4A.—DNA Kit #37359—Ysearch ID #5UHCU. This is for the line of Henry Harris, Sr. (1804-ca. 1875) of Georgia and Newton Co., Mississippi. The generations before Henry are not proven. Reportedly, he is the son of William West Harris (1751-1819) (See DNA Kit # 29321 which goes back to William West Harris (1751-1819) and from there the lineage reportedly goes back to John Harris (ca. 1588-ca. 1638) of Charles City Co., Virginia. The DNA of this line matches that of Thomas Harris (ca. 1636-ca. 1688) of Isle of Wight Co., VA as shown in other lineages from Group 4. This is a 25-marker test that matches the 67-marker modal, with no variants.

Lineage #4M.—DNA Kit #30810—Ysearch ID #V9438. This is for the line of James Edmond Harris (1859-1931) of Dyer Co., Tennessee and Dunklin Co., Missouri. His parentage is unknown, but he had two brothers, William Harris (b. ca. 1863) and John W. Harris (b. 1864). The DNA of this line matches that of Thomas Harris (ca. 1636-ca. 1688) of Isle of Wight Co., VA as shown in other lineages from Group 4. This is a 37-marker test that matches the 67-marker modal, except for a variant in marker 35.
