1. ↑ note about rejected match of Harris-1860 & Harris-1921: ... I added a rejected match for Harris-1921 & Harris-1860, even though this profile has her husbands & children. The father of the Mary Harris who married Spiltimber & Swann is a different Robert Harris than the one in New Kent. And sister Martha for Mary Harris-1860 was dead, leaving a widower, by Sept. 1665 (Mary Harris-1921 has a sister Martha, but born 1654). I'll send trusted list requests for the husbands & kids; you can add me if you'd like me to move them to the correct Mary. Thanks!
