Probate paper No. 4700 in the Connecticut State Library -- an inventory of the estate of Thomas Harris of Killingworth, CT, who died apparently by his own hand, leaving widow Ruth, including property on Long Island and children Mary, aged 13, Thomas, age 8, Nathaniel, aged 3 and Samuel, aged 8 months.
[12377] There appear to be some discrepancies in this article, particularly with dates relating to death and inventory of Thomas Harris' estate. Need to check actual records.

There are many versions of this family. We have not investigated the sources. The version reported here seems most plausible, but should be treated with caution.
However, it seems very likely that a David Harsha, born apparently in Monaghan, Ireland about 1751, and died in Argyle, New York 29 aug 1823, belongs here. This David appears to be the father of the David Harsha born 1789 (in Ireland?) and died 22 oct 1857 in Argyle, New York who married Nancy Harsha, b. 1792, daughter of John and thus grand-daughter of the present James. If the elder David was a son of the present James, the younger David and his wife Nancy would be first cousins. If instead the elder David was a nephew of the present James, then the younger David and his wife Nancy would be second cousins.
