Marlene, Brittany, Fred, and others who are interested in the James Harmon (d. 1807) and Mary Lester family .... Please help! It seems that there is evidence in the will of Peter Lester from Newberry County, SC that his daughter Mary married Thomas Morris and not James Harmon. Has there been sufficient research to help those of us who are descended from James Harmon and his son Wesley (who married Levernia Ann Cain) to get the actual identity of Wesley's mother's parentage? Until only recently I was totally convinced that Wesley's mother was Mary Lester (1785-1864) who was the daughter of Peter Lester and Jane Ruble. But Brittany has confused me by revealing the will of Peter Lester which specifically mentions Thomas Morris as Mary's husband.
I am squarely a Harmon descendant through James Harmon and his son Wesley. Are we all SURE that James' wife was the daughter of Peter and Jane Ruble? Please help.
