I would like any information on John Harris. He married Phebe Van Cleave, daughter of William 'Billy' Van Cleave and Abigail Frost. He is thought to be a son or relative of Daniel Harris and Elizabeth Demarest. He signed the petition as an inhabitant of Kentucky in 1780 along with several of the Conewago imigrants. William and John Van Cleave are also on the list. Daniel Harris signed as one of the intent to move to KY so he wasn't in KY as early as John. John Harris is not listed on the Durie Group from Shepherdstown Mar 1780 or the Banta Group from Conewago late 1779. I can't seem to find a list of Hendrick Banta's group but Hendrick doesn't appear to have been in KY as early as John either. John and Phebe's children are Priscilla b. 1781-84 married Giles Hodden or Heuton, Abigail b. 1784-86 married Thomas Ellison of Allison, Elizabeth b. 1784-90 married Andrew Woodfill or Woodfield, James b. 1791 married Polly Farley then Elizabeth Brush, Jonathan b. 1792 married Nancy Cooper, Samuel b. 1795 married Delilah Proctor (a sister of Daniel's wife Malinda), Jane b. 1798 married Edmund Bryant, Eleanor b. 1801 married Jonathan Teeter (her first cousin), Harvey b. 1804 married Elizabeth Hahn. Most of the children seem to be named after Van Cleave's with the exception of Priscilla. Daniel Harris of Dutchess Co. NY married 1st Abigail Fenning and second Priscilla Fuller. I don't know if there is a connection or not. Any help in this problem would certainly be appreciated.
