DNA Evidence
To all of you researchers who have tried in vain to connect the Horry and Maury county, S.C. Harrelsons to the immigrant line of Paul Harralson, today is a great day and thanks to DNA science, the speculation can be put to rest.Thanks to financial support from Steven Harrell, DNA tests have been conducted on Haralsons, Harrelson, Harralson etc. from all the branches with great success and the results show that the South Carolina lines do descend from the Virginia line of Paul Harralson. We are awaiting results on the middle Tennessee lines of William, James and Ezekiel Harrelson whose oral traditiion claimed the three brothers came into the Americas.IF they connect through DNA evidence to Paul Harralson, then we can say with confidence that 95 percent of all various Haralson spellings in the U.S. descend from the one immigrant, Paul Harralson.
