He sold this land quiet rapidly, and thetowns of Maidstone (now called Rectortown) and of Salem (now calledMarshalls) were founded on this land.

By J. Phillip Harris
Part 1 - The introduction to William Harris of Jamestown
A few weeks ago, while gathering information about the possibleEnglish
origins of Capt. Thomas Harris, I stumbled across somethingthat turned
out to be a major discovery in a mystery I have long beentrying to
solve. It had nothing to do with Capt. Thomas Harris. It wasabout
William Harris who came to Virginia with William Claiborne in1621. For
over twenty years I have been gathering bits and pieces ofinformation
about this William Harris but I could never really get a senseof
identity on him. It has always appeared that he left nodistinct Harris
descendant lines like the other Harris immigrants. For thisreason, no
one ever seemed interested in finding out who he was orconnecting back
to him. I believe that is about to change.
If you are a descendant of the William Harris/TemperanceOverton line or
the Robert Harris/Mourning Glen line of Hanover County, youwill be very
interested in this. If you are a descendant of the Matthew
Harris/Elizabeth Lee line of Louisa, Albemarle and NelsonCounties and
beyond, you will be interested in this. If you are adescendant of the
George Fuller Harris line of Pittsylvania County, Virginia andLincoln
County, Kentucky, you will be interested in this. I nowbelieve William
Harris, who came to Virginia in 1621, is your immigrant Harrisancestor.
The key to this was discovering the village of Willingale Doein Essex,
England. Willingale Doe is about eight miles west ofChelmsford in
Essex. For those who were upset by my attack on the misuse ofLDS
databases, you will be glad to know that it was discovery ofthe
extracted parish records for Willingale Doe on the LDSInternational
Genealogical Index that first opened the door on all of this.I hope I
have sufficiently "eaten crow" for my misdirected attack. Inow think
the IGI is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Incredibly, what we have within a ONE SQUARE MILE area aroundWillingale
Doe in the year 1600 are the following places:
1. Shellow Bowells - the village where Edward Harris residedfor most of
his adult life. Edward Harris was the youngest overall son ofWilliam
Harris of Southminster by his third wife, Agnes Rutter.
2. Torrell Hall - the home of the Henry Josselyn family and hisdaughter
Anne who married Edward Harris as his second wife in 1583. TheJosselyns
were cousins to the nearby family of Sir Thomas Gates of GoodEaster, who
became one of the early governors of the Virginia colony.
3. Little Burch Hall - the home of the John Butler/JaneElliott family
and their daughter Elizabeth, who was to marry WilliamClaiborne in
Virginia c1635. This family also included Elizabeth's olderbrothers
John and Thomas Butler who both eventually came to Virginia andsettled
in Claiborne's Kent Island settlement in the upper ChesapeakeBay. The
brother of the senior John Butler was Capt. Nathaniel Butler ofnearby
Roxwell who was to become the Governor of Bermuda from 1619 to1622 and
who later sat on the Council of Virginia with WilliamClaiborne.
4. Willingale Doe - the village where we find the parishrecords for the
entire William Harris/Joan Hardings family including their sonWilliam,
who was born in 1596.
When we begin to expand out from these four families and lookat the
marriages of the children and other associated families in theWillingale
Doe, Shellow Bowells and Roxwell parish records, we find anumber of
interconnections between all four of the families. As it turnsout, the
key to discovering our Harris history in England AND Virginialies not in
the association with William Claiborne but in the variousconnections to
the Butler family.
I am first going to propose the entire line as I now believe itoccurred.
It will cover the six generations starting with William Harrisof
Southminster and going through the first three generations inVirginia.
What will follow after that will be a detailed explanation anddiscussion
of existing evidence that hopefully will support myconclusions.
Please understand, this is all new. You will not find thisproposed
anywhere else. I am the first to go down this path. For thisreason, I
do not expect nor desire any of this to be accepted untilothers have
followed the same path and come to similar conclusions. Myobjective in
this is to leave a clear path of evidence and logic that otherscan
follow, but each of you must do the research and arrive at yourown
conclusions.

For the most part, all of the information needed to constructthis can be
found in commonly available sources, either online or at mostlarger
libraries. The predominant sources are:
1. The IGI parish records at LDS FamilySearch (batches beginwith prefix
"C" or "M").
2. The Visitations of Essex of 1552 and 1558
3. Cavaliers and Pioneers Volumes I and II (Nugent I and NugentII) -
land patent records.
4. Various volumes of the Virginia Genealogies series (also onFTM CDs or
online at Genealogy.com if you have a subscription).
5. A biography on William Caliborne called Virginia Venturerpublished in
1954, or any other suitable biography on William Claiborne.
I would also suggest a good map of Virginia, preferably theDeLorme Atlas
of topographical maps that exists for each state as well as adetailed
driving atlas of Great Britain showing the towns and villages.

PART 2 - Why I believe William Harris of Willingale Doe was thegrandson
of William Harris of Southminster.
The main records we have to rely on for William Harris ofSouthminster
are the Visitations of Essex 1552. Essentially thatinformation tells us
the basics about the first three generations. William Harrisfirst
married Joanna Smith, had son and heir William who married JaneSemer,
and who likewise had a son named William. The Visitations ofEssex 1558
go on to list all three wives, all thirteen of his children, aswell as a
number of his grandchildren. Since he was a prominent Essexofficial,
there are other court records that substantiate the time periodin which
he lived. His will in 1556 confirms five of his sons, that hislast wife
was named Agnes (Rutter), and lists the properties he owned.The five
surviving sons that were still living in 1556 were William andVincent by
the first marriage, Arthur by the second marriage, andChristopher and
Edward by the third marriage. (A full copy of the willsubmitted by Noël
Robertson can be found in the archives of Harris-Va onRootsweb.) Even
if the Visitations of Essex are inaccurate, we know that he didhave
those five sons, and he names them in that order in his will.The oldest
son William actually does not receive a legacy from his fatherin the
will. Wording in the will implies that the son William Harrishad
already been provided for and was well established in 1556. Itis stated
that he had already been assigned property that was not namedin the
will. We do not know the location of that property.
Although there are few actual parish records for the early1500s, we can
estimate by various sources that William Harris married hisfirst wife
Johanna Smith around 1515. With thirteen children, if WilliamHarris
averaged one child every two years over all three wives, thatwould put
the last child being born in 1541. We already know from the1556 will
that Christopher and Edward Harris were still underage in 1556confirming
that Edward, the last son, was probably not born until around1540-1545.
If William, the first son, was born shortly after the 1515marriage, then
he was just coming of age, marrying, and having his first sonWilliam in
that same 1540-1545 time period. That means William Harris of
Southminster had a son Edward and a grandson William who were
approximately the same age.
The parish records of Willingale Doe (IGI M058661) tell us thatWilliam
Harris married Joan Hardings on 6 May 1576. That is a perfect30 year
cycle from 1516 (1516-1546-1576), giving the distinctpossibility of
William Harris of Willingale Doe to be the third generationWilliam.
Edward Harris married Anne Josselyn 9 July 1583 in ShellowBowells (IGI
7134017). He had first married Elizabeth Barrington around1575 (no IGI
record). The Barringtons were from Hatfield Broad Oak aboutsix miles
from Shellow Bowells and Willingale Doe. It is very apparentthat Edward
Harris and William Harris were almost the same age and livedwithin a
half mile of each other. They have all the appearances of afamily
relationship. The only possible relationship in the knownfamily that
would fit this criteria of a William being the same age asEdward Harris
would be that of the uncle and nephew described above.
One other connection can be gleaned from the 1556 will. ThomasKinge was
listed a number of times as the personal servant of WilliamHarris of
Southminster and received a small legacy. The will also listeda
daughter (unnamed) of the third wife, Agnes Rutter, by herprevious
marriage and the daughter was stated to be the wife of RichardKinge of
Bockinge. Bockinge was also the home of Joanne Cooke, thesecond wife of
William Harris as well as the home of Jane Semer who marriedthe second
generation William Harris. Bockinge is twelve miles fromWillingale Doe
straight up the old Roman road from London. Two of thechildren of
William Harris of Willingale Doe married members of the Kingefamily of
Halstead. Halstead is just a couple of miles outside ofBockinge along
the same road. The two marriages were Thomas Harris to SarahKinge 25
Mar 1617 and Alice Harris to Thomas Kinge 24 Nov 1618 (IGI8205631).
Sarah and Thomas Kinge were the children of Richard Kinge, both
christened in Colchester, Essex in 1587 and 1592 respectively(IGI
812134, 812135). It appears that Richard Kinge was thegrandson of Agnes
Rutter who, of course, was also the mother of Edward Harris.
Considering the compelling evidence, I feel very comfortable indrawing
the conclusion that William Harris of Willingale Doe was thegrandson of
William Harris of Southminster and nephew of Edward Harris ofShellow
Bowells.
Side Note: I will not use any of the possibilities concerningCapt.
Thomas Harris in support of my conclusions about the identityof William
Harris since none of the theories about Capt. Thomas Harris canbe proven
yet. One of those theories is that Thomas Harris was the sonof Edward
Harris and Anne Josselyn. Obviously, if that theory were toend up being
validated, it would not only support my conclusions aboutWilliam Harris,
but taken together would have major implications concerning thewhole
history of the Harris family in England and their involvementwith the
settlement of Virginia.

More: Hello,
More: I have done quite a bit of research on the Harris line. I can goas far back as Robert Harris (he was supposedly married to a Mary Rice Claiborne, but that has since been proven incorrect as far as Ican tell). There is no complete evidence going further back from him as there were at least 3 Harris' in the same place at thesame time. I do have a great paper from a rootsweb board that talks about the origin of the Harris'.

More: You have to follow it along a few threads to get through all of theinformation.
More: It's funny that you bring up the Harris family. When I inquired toyou, I was following the Trevor family from England back to Rome's Emperors. Going that far back is just crazy. I have a hard timeeven comprehending it. Are there sources that you consulted with?
More: So I followed your Harris line back and we are realted throughWilliam Harris and Temperance Overton. I am related through their son Benjamin Harris. It's such a small world. I look forward tohearing from you.

More: I came across your tree while doing research on Ancestry.com.It seems
incredible that you have information going so far back. I noticedthat
Mark Willis was listed as the source for most of the information. I
wonder how it is possible to go so far back and be accurate. Do you
know where he obtained this information? I don't mean to beskeptical,
but some of it seems just too incredible to be true. Thank you foryour
time.
