THE HARRIS LINE NOTE: On the earlier lines, I have used LDS for a source, and also a biographical sketch in "Past and Present of Hardin County IA" editor Wm. J. Moir,Indianapolis, B.F. Bowen 1911. They do not agree on several points, some being the children of George Brin Harris. I tend to lean towards Job Harris' report on his family. He was b. in 1849, still living in 1911 and was the source of this info. and tend to think he was more accurate.
