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 grouping was originally part of a larger Group 5; however, some of the kits initially matched with this group had variants from the modal of more than 3. Thus the grouping was split up into 2 separate groups.

Eight different lines now have been submitted for this group. There are two different lines that possibly descend from Craven Harris (ca. 1795-aft. 1850) of Blount Co., Alabama. There are also two different Micajah Harris lines. Others of these lines have not yet been connected.

This group belongs to the R1b1b2 haplogroup. For information on Genetic Distances in Group 5, view this page: Genetic Distances - Group 5

Here are lineage charts (supported by DNA) that fall into Group 5 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 5 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 usually occur every 3 or 4 generations. Some specific markers tested are known to mutate faster than others.

Lineage #1—DNA Kit #21611—Ysearch ID #TS6U6. This is for the line of Robert Franklin Harris (ca. 1822-ca. 1857) of South Carolina. (Generation #2) as shown on the Harris Y-DNA Results Page.

Current research indicates Robert Franklin Harris is possibly the son of Craven Harris (ca. 1795-aft. 1850). He is the right age and in the right location to be a son. Some have tried to place this Craven Harris as the son of George Harris (ca. 1758-1819) who married Martha _________, but that George is the son of Burr Calvert/Harris in Group 3. The DNA does not match. It is possible there are two different Craven Harrises or two different George Harrises.

The contact person for this kit has been traced back to Eli Clifton Harris (ca. 1825-ca. 1862) who is most likely a brother of Robert Franklin Harris.

This kit’s Ysearch user ID is TS6U6. Additional information on this DNA kit and the paternal line can be found on the Ysearch user ID page for TS6U6

This family’s migration pattern is: Edgefield Co., SC > Blount Co., AL > St. Clair Co., AL > Monroe Co., MS > Humphreys Co., MS.

This is a 37-marker kit that matches the 67-marker modal for Group 5 with one variance in marker 13. This kit belongs to the R1b1b2 haplogroup. A few details on the lineage for this kit are added below.
