Hi Nick,
I beleive this to be the same Jesse Harris that you have as a son of William Harris and Hannah Moore.
My family was decended from English Quakers from Loudoun County Virginia.My Harris' move to Licking County, Ohio around 1806.I have read that the Quakers moved to this area (then Prince William County, now Loudoun County) around 1730, and that the Quakers were the first "white" inhabitants of this area.So, my family lived in Loundoun area between 1730 and 1806.
LDS records have shown a link between my George Harris born 1777 in Loudoun to a Jesse Harris who married Margaret "Peggy" Nixon about 1775 in Loudoun.This is correct, because both my George, and Jesse Harris and Margaret are buried in Marple Cemetery in Licking County, Ohio.
The date I got for Jesse's birth is from his tombstone, which I have a photo of.It says he died May 30th, 1825 and was 76 years old.
Your Jesse, is the closest in birthdate, and birthplace that I have found thusfar.It also seems to fit so well, with the surnames like Nixon, Combs, Janney, Brown ect.
I would like to talk to you more about this family, perhaps exchange gedcom files.It's been so hard with this family.I've always thought of being from the lost Harris family from Virginia.I guess since Samuel came to Virginia from Bucks County, PA, it's now the lost Harris family from Pennsylvania.LOL
Mike
