Wife of Job Harris, was actually Abigail (Clark) Bennett, widow of Benjamin Bennett. Henry Bennetts daughter is identified as Abigail Griffis in his probate. I'm going to disconnect the daughter and husband. I'll need to do a little research to get them properly connected, but I want to get Abigail with the correct spouse.
