Peter Harris 1780-1875
Peter Harris (20 Mar 1780 – 1875) was married to Elizabeth Spain, he was my GGGGGrandfather. I have him listed on a 1830, census form, marriage and tax list, his father was Peter Harris, Mother Mary Honour Whitlock.
I have been told Peter Harris/Mary Honour Whitlock is from Harris DNA group 6 lineage. I am listed as group 11 so this of course begs to say something is incorrect.
Peter has the following kids:
William Lacey 1815-1902
Lorenzo Dow 1816-1902 – See note below
William Oliver P. 1815-1900
Benjamin 1824-1902 see notes below
Mary 1823-?
Cynderella 1829-?
Martha Ann 1828-1863 -see note below

Benjamin 1824-1902 married to Harriett Knox, also listed to Ruth J which is in this 1850 Census. He, wife, kids show up on 1850 census from Bledsoe TN with other Harris’s, Cunningham and Knox families. Martin Cunningham/Mary Knox father of Aaron Addison who was married to Lucinda Harris daughter of William Lacy. More of a link from Peter to William lacy, also Benjamin Harding son of William lacy married a cunningham and her father, etc strongly resemble this Cunningham family but George martin cunningham seems to be from PA, probably cousins of some sort.
