DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:
Harrison-1178 and Harrison-988 appear to represent the same person because: as no action has been taken in the past 2 years, I have reproposed the merge, the incorrect parents removed from Harrison-1178, dates will need primary sources after the merge.
John Harrison, who married Sarah Daniel was the son of William Harrison and Hannah Christopher. He was born in Essex, VA around 1710 He married in Caroline, VA around1734 and died in Halifax, VA on 16 Jul 1761 per Edmund West, comp., Family Data Collection - Individual Records The man listed here is not the husband of Sarah Daniel.
Harrison-1178 and Harrison-988 appear to represent the same person because: both profiles call out the same find a grave, neither profile has any sources for the parents shown.
Harrison-9940 and Harrison-988 appear to represent the same person because: This match was obscured by "born before" and 'died before" dates which where decades removed from the actual dates of Sarah Daniel's husband
Attached to incorrect parents...their ages would have precluded them from being the parents of this person. The dates would indicate that this is the son of Thomas that married Mary Beswick
