      Donna Forney Clark:
      There is conflicting data in the sources below, one of them being these additional names as children of John Thomas Harris (1820-1870) and Mary Ann Porter Harris (1829-1920):

      4 F Helen E. Harris
      Born: Abt 1858 - (Now) West Virginia 35
      5 M J. Dryden Harris
      Born: Abt 1860 - (Now) West Virginia 35
      6 M Thomas E. Harris
      Born: Abt 1865 - Ohio 35

      Among other conflicts are the death date of John Thomas Harris as 1895, lack of mention of the movement of the family to Missouri, and lack of mention of two additional marriages of Mary Ann Porter.
