I found Henderson Harris listed as William Henderson Harris on the LDS website. I have not been able to verify this. I am not sure of their source. They also had Elizabeth (Brown) Harris listed as Elizabeth Minerva Harris. Note they had a daughter named Minerva. I found this by doing a search on their youngest daughter Annette and her husband James Williams. Everything else on the page appears correct, so it is possible that Henderson's first name is in fact William. I do have five William's in my database with one of them being William Henderson Harris.

DNA:
There are a lot of Harris's out there with so many lines, it makes it really hard. I did a dna test to try to figure out which Harris's we are connected to. You can see the results here: www.harrisdna.org/results.html . Our Harris line is Group 6. You will see Henderson Harris's name there. You can click on the numbers beside each name in the group and it will give you some information on that person. Everyone in group 6 is related to each other. But, we are not related to the Harris's in the other groups.
