SmartCopyConsistency Check:Anna Dabney is under 12 years old for the birth of her child Anne Terrell.

And her mother was 8? Don't think so. Somebody pulled a bad date from somewhere.

Mother dated to 1724; moher married 1739/40; own first child born 1764...suggests a birth date more like c. 1740-1745.

First child born 1760, oops...so let's say "c. 1742".

@Anna Dabney: I have her mother as Mourning (Glenn) Harris b. 1702, with her daughter Anna (Harris) Dabney b. 1724. However, her first child, daughter Sarah Ann (Dabney) Waller is listed as born 1740, Ann (Dabney) Terrell is born 1742, daughter Mary (Dabney) Minor also born 1742 (with Mary's Sept. birthdate), William Dabney 1743, John Dabney 1749, Elizabeth (Dabney) Brown 1751, then Susan (Dabney) Harris b. 1755, and a few others between whose spacing doesn't seem to raise red flags. I'm questioning the spacing between Ann's, Mary's, and William's births. Any paper documentation on this line? Mourning Glenn Harris is my 7th GGM.

I have no idea what was done with Harris line - but someone has changed lines - Temperance Overton and William Harris should be a direct line on my dad’s side - now showing up as a totally different path ... Anna Dabney Harris should show as an Great Aunt

Always check to see if data conflicts need resolving.

A member suggested this database for the Dabneys and I found it very helpful.

On the Harris side there are good studies but careful, careful: the families are easily confused, and they are not related to each other. Pay close attention to locations.

Also check to see if a path cache needs refreshing - pros can do

See https://www.geni.com/projects/Working-with-Relationships/17570

Outstanding / incomplete merges can queer the path also.

So the Dabney source, with precise dating, has some book sources, & don’t give Anna parents

I’m thinking the anomalies must be on the Harris side.

Correcting myself:

“He married Anna Harris about 1739/40. She was a daughter of Major Robert and Mourning (Glenn) Harris of Albemarle County, Virginia.”

Misplaced Harris’s to be re located

Tery Kempf I think I fixed your path but there might still be issues - I’m now getting Maj Robert as your 8th great uncle.

You jump over to another line for the Dabneys so would need to use pushpins to trace the direct.

We are still 8th cousins via Handsome Jim Barnes.

Kathleen Marie Garness I’m pretty sure the Dabney kids are correct but please check.

Erica - leave in that path.
Thank you for fixing.

The Harrises needed a cleanup for sure, so glad you brought it up.

:) That Smart Copy App is really helpful.
