Birth: 13 JAN 1608 in Ilfracombe Devonshire England
Death: Jul/Aug 1683 in Dartmouth,MA
Burial: OCT 1683 Dartmouth,Bristol,Massachusetts
Note:
BIOGRAPHY: Of the life of Thomas Pope little is known beyond the briefentries which
appear in the records of the town and colony of Plymouth, but these are
sufficient to show that he was a man of positive character, and of some
consideration in the community. His promptness in resenting a real or
fancied injury, and his independent expressions of personal opinion, more
than once caused him to be arraigned before the magistrates of New
Plymouth, and no doubt ultimately led to his removal to Dartmouth, where
he passed the last ten years of his life.
The records of the colony show that in the list of rates imposed by the
Court, January 2, 1632-3, and again January 2, 1633-4, he was taxed 9s.
October 6, 1636, he was granted five acres of land 11 at the fishing
point next Slowly field, and said Thomas be allowed to build." June 7,
1637, we find his name among the list of persons who volunteered to go
under "Mr. Prence" on an expedition against the Pequots. July 28, 1637,
he was married by Gov. Winslow to Ann, daughter of Gabriel Fallowell. He
sold his property at the fishing point to John Bonham, August 29, 1640,
perhaps on account of the death of his wife, the precise date of which
event is unknown.
November 2, 1640, he was granted " 5 acres of meadowing in South Meadows
toward Gavans Colebrook meadows." His name appears in a list, August,
1634, entitled, '"The names of all the males that are able to beare armes
from XVI. years old to 6o years wth in the seuerall Toune Shipps." He was
chosen constable June 4, 1645, and was on a jury August, 1645. In 1646
he is found in Yarmouth. May 29, 1646, he married at Plymouth, Sarah,
daughter of John Jenney. In 1647, June 1, an action for slander was
brought against him, confessed, authors and defendants were brought in
equally guilty, and damages paid. He was chosen surveyor of highways
July, 1658, and again June 6, 1651. In 1652, July 26, and in 1656, he is
" on an Enquest." In 11 December, 1663, Thomas Pope and Gyles Rickard,
Senior " were arrested 11 for breaking the King's peace by striking each
other, and were fined each three shillings and four pence;" and "said
Pope, his striking of said Rickards' wife, and for other turbulent
carriages in word and deed, the Court have centenanced him to find
sureties for his good behavior." But nevertheless his temper soon got the
better of him again, for we find him, February 7, 1664, and also May 2,
1665, quarrelling with one John Barnes about that fruitful subject of
dispute, a boundary. He is recorded as having taken the freeman's oath
in 1668. In 1670, June 7, he was again overhauled by the authorities,
and as the record says, "fined 10 shillings for vilifying the ministry."
Although be was now over 6o years old, these troubles doubtless
influenced him in the determination to seek a new home, and accordingly
we find him with others, petitioning the Court in 1673 for a grant of
land at Saconnett (now Little Compton, R. 1.). For some reason not
ascertained, this project was unsuccessful, for it appears in the record
that he is "Granted leave since he and others cannot secure Saconnett
neck according to the grant, to look out some other place, undisposed of,
for their accommodation." Acting upon this permission, he secured a large
tract on the east side of the Acushnet river at Dartmouth, tradition says
by direct purchase from the Indians. This location, however, must have
been included within the prior purchase made by Bradford, Standish and
their associates, from the sachems Wesamequen and Wamsutta, on November
29, 1652, which had been, by order of the Court in June,

The name Power or Powers is believed to be of Norman origin. In earlytimes it was variously spelled LePoer, LaPuher and LePoher. The Dutchversion of the name is Power.

It is said that one of the family went to England as an officer in theforces of William the Conqueror in 1066. One, Richard Poer, was HighSheriff of Gloucestershire in 1187. Another of the family, Roger LePoer,held a high command under King Henry, II, when that monarch invadedIreland in 1171. For his services at that time he was given large grantsof land in the County of Waterford. Some authorities claim that KingHenry, II granted to Robert LePuher in 1177: "The City of Waterford,Ireland, adjacent provinces".

In 1222 there is a record of William and Walter Poer (also spelled at thetime as Power) as possessing large landed estates in England.

Walter Powers emigrated to America in 1654. He landed in Salem, MA at age14 and settled at what is now Littleton, MA.

One of the Waterford line, Walter Powers, settled in Concord Village,(now Littleton, MA) in 1654. He married Trial Shepard in 1661 and had byher nine children: William, Mary, Isaac, Thomas, Daniel, Increase,Walter, Jacob, and Sarah. Almost all of these children married andbrought up their families in the same vicinity in which they were bornand which their father had chosen as his home when he first emigrated toAmerica.

(Taken from a Geneology on the Oliver Titus Powers branch of the family.)From LRC letter of 2-14-1998

Printed in 1884

At this time, Little is known of Walter Power, but probably he had notreceived advantages of much early education, but depended upon strongsinews (strength) and sterling good sense to establish a home for himselfand his family. Trial, his wife, seems to have been a woman of someeducation, and from the position which his sons took in the affairs ofthe town, etc., we may presume they were fairly educated for the times.At the time of their marriage, Walter and his wife settled on a tract ofland in or near Concord, which took the name of Concord Village, now inthe town of Littleton, and adjoining the Indian town of Nashobe, whichDeacon Ralph Shepard bought of Lieut. Joseph Wheeler, and built his houseon the north side of Quagany Hill, about half a mile from the garrisonhouse, and less distant than that from Nagog pond, the site of which maystill be discovered by the slight depression of the cellar. In 1694,Walter Power bought of Thomas Waban, and other Indians, one-fourth partof the township of Nashboe. His remains were doubtless buried in the old"Powers burying-ground", as also were those of his wife, who survived himmany years, but how long is not known.

Ok.. story... I was living in NC about 6 years ago and found myselfdeciding to make a change in my life and move. I closed my eyes andpointed to a spot on the map. Boston! It sounded exiciting so I called arealator and said.. anywhere near Boston.. a house that will let me bringmy Great Dane. This cut the list considerably. The agent came back with ahouse in Littleton that was on the historical register. I said "SoundsGreat!". Sold my house, packed my bags and loaded "Booger" (the greatdane) in the car and headed to Littleton and the "Mary Shepard House".What a great house! The oldest portion was over 300 yrs old. I lovedliving there, but after a year I had found a house in a nearby town tobuy and left (with great regret) the Mary Shepard House. About a yearlater when I began to get interested in genealogy, my father sent me hisFounders and Patriots Membership Certificate and a listing of the line.It went back to Walter Power of Littleton who was married to one of theLittleton Shepards! I made full circle home it felt like! Born in FL,moved to NC then to SC, then back to NC, then to MA. Ooh.. I still getgoosebumps! And for those who believe... I would often hear at night inthat house, little girls singing singsongs... I have no children and mygreat dane's voice is much deeper :)

Info on the way! I'll send you them same items mentioned in my reply toLester. Also, if you make a trip to Littleton, you won't want to miss theLittleton Historical Society. There schedule is kind of strange(something like only on the second Sunday of each month), so you mightwant to call first. Pat Powers is the local expert on the Powers familyroots in that area and can be reached through the Historical Society.Have a great time!

Anna writes a fascinating story about the "Mary Shepard House." AndWarren E. Wilson responds with interest. I would also like very much toknow where the "Mary Shepard House" is. I think I know, and Anna could bemissing a point that might dissuade her from the notion of "little girlssinging singsongs." Mary Shepard was not allowed to be a singing kind ofa little girl.

I would guess that Anna's "Mary Shepard House" is probably built on thesite of Walter Power and Trial Shepard's house, at the corner of PowersRoad (of all things) and Rouite 2A/119 in Littleton, MA. I guess thisfrom an E-mail I got a year or two ago saying that there is a historicalmarker on the spot identifying the site as the place from which theNipmucs kidnapped Mary Shepard during King Philip's War. There is also a"Mary Shepard Tearoom" around there somewhere, and perhaps Anna refers tothis. I live in California, have never visited Massachusetts, so, ohheck, I don't know.

Mary Shepard was the daughter of Trial Shepard's brother John Shepard,thus Trial Shepard's niece.

Walter Power and Trial Shepard's farm at Littleton was actually a littleenclave carved out of the northern part of Trial's dad Ralph Shepard'svastly larger property. Walter's place was as I described above. Ralph'shome was near (and just north of) the corner of Brook Lane and MeadowDrive. Trial's brother Abraham lived a little west of Walter Power. Idon't know where the other kids of Ralph lived.

Mary Shepard's (Trial's niece's) story is told in Amos Powers' book "ThePowers Family," though Amos misidentifies who Mary was, and bungles thatbadly. Anyway, Mary was set by two of her brothers or uncles (Shepards)atop Quagana Hill to watch out for Nipmuc attack during King Philip's Warwhile those Shepards worked in the Power barn. The Nipmucs captured MaryShepard and killed the two other Shepards in the Power barn. Mary laterescaped.

Songs would not be Mary Shepard's thing. Escaping from Nipmucs at waragainst the colonists was Mary's thing. Then, on the other hand, ifanyone had something to sing about afterwards, Mary sure did!

Anyway, the site where Mary Shepard was kidnapped is sometimes thought ofas the Shepard place, but was really Walter and Trial's place, on PowersRoad, corner of Route 2A/119. Mary's REAL home would have been nearby,but not precisesly there.

Anyway, I too would be EXTREMELY interested to know where the "MaryShepard House" is in Littleton. Reconstructing how the farms lay backthen is a long, long row to hoe. New little bits of the story come insometimes, like Anna's story, but not often! Please tell us more, Anna!!!

::chuckles:: Lester, you may be in California, but you sure know yourLittleton geography! I can do you one better, I have scanned pictures ofthe Mary Shepard house and the marker that is in the front yard. Theoldest part of the house was estimated at at least 300 years old. Thereare some obviouse additions that have been made to it. I had someone whoknew about these things in the basement there and he was able to tell theage by the structural beams beneath the flooring. The kitchen wascomplete with a huge fireplace that had the remnants of the contraptionused to hang pots on to cook over the stove. There was also what's calleda beehive oven just to the left of the fireplace for baking (there wasanother opening below that for making a fire in, if I understand itcorrectly). Anyway, interesting you mention the farm. Directly across theroad from the house is a horse farm called the "Mary Shepard Farm" (partof the old farm?). The owner of both the MS House and the MS Farm died afew years back and I believe the house has since been sold.
As far as the location, you are correct in that it is located on Rt 2A atPowers Rd. I'll mark it on the local map and send it to you if you like.
I called the Littleton Historical Society a few years back and was put intouch with Pat Powers who came down the Isaac side of the family. Sheshowed me Walter's tombstone which had been found in a rock wall someyears back (if I remember the story correctly). There were some peoplelooking for the Powers gravesites, which it had been determined had beenplowed over at some later time. They had just about decided to give upthe search when one of them noticed the stone in one of the stone wallsthat are so common here.
Interesting that you mention the MS Tearoom, of which I have never heardof. Can you share more info about that?
I'll email you the following files (and to whomever else requests them):
Photo of the Mary Shepard House as of 4 years ago, Photo of the granitemarker that stands in the front yard, map of Littleton showing thelocation of the MS House.
I also have photos of the Isaac Powers House if anyone is interested. Itwas built in 1716 (according to the plaque on the front). Isaac wasLittleton's second minister and a Tory sympathizer. The story goes thatthe local Patriots came and asked him to declare his principals and helocked the door and refused to answer, at which point they fired into hisfront doors (which now are housed in the Littleton Historical Societybuilding).

I did receive your three graphics by private E-mail today, about the"Mary Shepard House." I will respond privately later, as what you sent isTOTALLY NEW, and I have to think about it. Also, the story of the hoops Ihad to jump through to read your private messages to me is funny, butthat's for later in private, if I remember the hoops part.

Meanwhile, best to keep news like this out in the open on the GenForum.It's just too good.

I hereby correct my earlier statement that the "Mary Shepard House" isprobably actually the Walter Power/Trial Shepard house. IT IS ***NOT***.Anna's private E-mail described the exact location, and it's verydefinitely in the *wrong place* to have been Walter 'n' Trial's house. Iforgot to say last time where exactly that is, and maybe that might befor the better until I can collect my thoughts.

Walter Power and Trial Shepard lived in an enclave carved out of thevastly larger Shepard property, as I said last time. I know where fatherRalph Shepard's house was, and very roughly about where son AbrahamShepard's home was, as I posted last time. With Anna's post, we canprobably add the location of son John Shepard (Mary Shepard's dad). The"Mary Shepard House" is probably her father's house, in reality, and soJohn Shepard's house. Mary was only about 14 or so at the time of herkidnapping during King Philip's War.

Also, this Isaac guy.

We are actually talking about what was called "home lots." A "home lot"was where the house and barn and kitchen garden were located. The fieldsbelonging to these people's farms were elsewhere. There is muchmisunderstanding about Walter's property, because he obtained differentparts at different times. His basic home lot and farm were as I describedin my last post, but he also bought, later in life, a much larger tractof land to the west from the "praying Indians" at the Nashoba plantation.Thus, Walter's property was like my uncle's farm in Michigan today -- ahome lot surrounded by a modest amount of farmland acreage, but with amuch larger, separate, noncontiguous chunk of farmland down the road aways.

Anyway, the "Mary Shepard House" is so very close to my placement of theWalter and Trial house that I should probably go back and re-read mysources and re-think my thoughts about that. Some of this is just a weedifferent from what was originally told to me, and the space is quitesmall. I suppose the final word might be locations relative to QuaganaHill, but I must go back and re-read.

The name Power or Powers is believed to be of Norman origin. In earlytimes it was variously spelled LePoer, LaPuher and LePoher. The Dutchversion of the name is Power.

It is said that one of the family went to England as an officer in theforces of William the Conqueror in 1066. One, Richard Poer, was HighSheriff of Gloucestershire in 1187. Another of the family, Roger LePoer,held a high command under King Henry, II, when that monarch invadedIreland in 1171. For his services at that time he was given large grantsof land in the County of Waterford. Some authorities claim that KingHenry, II granted to Robert LePuher in 1177: "The City of Waterford,Ireland, adjacent provinces".

In 1222 there is a record of William and Walter Poer (also spelled at thetime as Power) as possessing large landed estates in England.

Walter Powers emigrated to America in 1654. He landed in Salem, MA at age14 and settled at what is now Littleton, MA.

One of the Waterford line, Walter Powers, settled in Concord Village,(now Littleton, MA) in 1654. He married Trial Shepard in 1661 and had byher nine children: William, Mary, Isaac, Thomas, Daniel, Increase,Walter, Jacob, and Sarah. Almost all of these children married andbrought up their families in the same vicinity in which they were bornand which their father had chosen as his home when he first emigrated toAmerica.

(Taken from a Geneology on the Oliver Titus Powers branch of the family.)From LRC letter of 2-14-1998

See: The Powers Family by Amos H. Powers.

More notes: From WFT CD Volume 12, Tree # 1365
The following was copied from: The Powers Family by Amos H. Powers
Printed in 1884

At this time, Little is known of Walter Power, but probably he had notreceived advantages of much early education, but depended upon strongsinews (strength) and sterling good sense to establish a home for himselfand his family. Trial, his wife, seems to have been a woman of someeducation, and from the position which his sons took in the affairs ofthe town, etc., we may presume they were fairly educated for the times.At the time of their marriage, Walter and his wife settled on a tract ofland in or near Concord, which took the name of Concord Village, now inthe town of Littleton, and adjoining the Indian town of Nashobe, whichDeacon Ralph Shepard bought of Lieut. Joseph Wheeler, and built his houseon the north side of Quagany Hill, about half a mile from the garrisonhouse, and less distant than that from Nagog pond, the site of which maystill be discovered by the slight depression of the cellar. In 1694,Walter Power bought of Thomas Waban, and other Indians, one-fourth partof the township of Nashboe. His remains were doubtless buried in the old"Powers burying-ground", as also were those of his wife, who survived himmany years, but how long is not known.

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.

GENERATION 1
William Harris of Southminster, High Sheriff of Essex
c1490-1556
married 1st Johanna Smith c1515
Had a total of three wives and thirteen children, the oldestbeing son
William Harris.

GENERATION 2
William Harris
c1516-1559
married Jane Semer of "Brawghinge" (probably Bocking) c1540
Only one known child, a son William Harris.

GENERATION 3
William Harris of Willingale Doe, Essex.
c1545- after1601
married Joan Hardings 6 May 1576
i. Ellen 1586
ii. Elizabeth 1590
iii. John 1593
iv. WILLIAM 1596
v. Thomas 1596 (William and Thomas were possibly twins)
vi. Edward 1599
vii. Alice 1601

GENERATION 4
William Harris - came to Virginia in 1621 as a surveyor withWilliam
Claiborne.
1596-c1656 (born in Willingale Doe, Essex - died at Jamestown,Virginia)
married (possibly) Ellen Burrows c1624, daughter of AnthonyBurrows.
i. James
ii. William
iii. Robert

GENERATION 5
1. James Harris c1625-after 1667 - settled first in York Countyc1647,
later in Westmoreland County c1662.
2. William Harris c1630-unknown (est. c1690) - lived atJamestown in
1658.
i. Robert - see Generation 6.
ii. William - in James City County in 1704, died in York Countyc1739
iii. Thomas - died in York County c1728, married to Beatrice.
3. Robert Harris c1635-1701 - settled on Ware Creek in New KentCounty
c1659.
i. -------> William Harris/Temperance Overton line of HanoverCounty.
ii. -------> Robert Harris/Mourning Glen line of HanoverCounty.

GENERATION 6
Robert Harris c1660-1716 - settled in York County near Yorktownc1682
married 1st Mary Albritton c1693
i. Robert Harris - married Mary Starke ------> George FullerHarris line
ii. Matthew Harris - married Elizabeth Lee ------> MatthewHarris line
iii. John Harris - remained in York County.
married 2nd Anne Fuller, widow of George Fuller.

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.

PART 4 - William Harris in Virginia.
(Most of the historical information in this section can bepulled from
various sources on the history of Jamestown as well as from thebiography
of William Claiborne.)

The "George", with Claiborne and Harris reached Jamestown inOctober
without any problem. The "Tyger", with Phipps and Morris wasblown off
course and chased by pirates and ended up two months late.Also on board
the "George" were Sir Francis Wyatt, the new Governor, and Dr.John
Potts, the new physician. Normally, upon reaching Jamestown,all new
settlers were housed in the "Block House." Claiborne, however,was
invited to live with Governor Wyatt, while William Harris livedwith Dr.
Potts in the house provided to him. We might assume Phipps andMorris
received the same privilege. This is important because later,we see a
few instances of land deals involving Potts, Harris, andPhipps. It was
Dr. Potts who patented the large piece of property behindArcher's Hope
that he called "Harrop". Much of the interior part of thisparcel was
later sectioned off to become the "Middle Plantation" which weknow
eventually became Williamsburg. More on that later.

Initially, the surveyors worked on laying off a new town forJamestown.
Jamestown was not really an island at the time and the locationof the
new town was on the "back of the island" where the neck of theJamestown
peninsula attached to the mainland. Also located at this pointon the
mainland was the "Glass House" where the colonists had a glassblowing
operation until 1624. The Glass House was located about wherethe
Jamestown Festival Park is located today. Again, this willbecome
important later in land deals involving William Harris.

Eventually, the surveyors began to branch out and do work inother
locations, going as far up the James River as Henricus andacross the Bay
to the recent Eastern Shore settlements. They traveledeverywhere by
water, with Claiborne being supplied with a small sloop.Claiborne
became particularly interested in exploring farther up theChesapeake
Bay. He was very ambitious and wanted to establish settlementsfor the
production of tobacco in various locations. By 1626, Claibornehad
established active plantations at Kecoughtan, Archer's Hope,and Blount
Point on the lower Peninsula and also over on the EasternShore.
Kecoughtan (Hampton, Va.), being the more centralized location,became
Claiborne's home base of operations.

The initial expansion away from Jamestown was thwarted somewhatby the
massacre of 1622. The surviving colonists, who had begun tospread out
to individual land parcels, tended to pull back temporarilyinto the
original settlements for protection. You can readily see thisin the
muster of 1623. We find William Harris listed among the namesof those
at Elizabeth City, the new name for the Kecoughtan settlement.That was
one of the few places that had not been attacked in themassacre of 1622.
Also listed at Elizabeth City were the names Alice Harris andElinor
Harris. Since many of the newer computer files listing themuster
records alphabetize the names, it makes it appear that therewas some
association between these three Harris people. When you vieworiginal
listings, however, you will see the three are named in separate
locations. In the same listing, other known families alwaysappear
together. Harris was a very common name, and the fact that thethree
were not listed together makes me believe there was noconnection between
them. I did pursue records on these two women but foundnothing that
would make me change my opinion at this point in time.

William Harris was located at Elizabeth City because he wasacting as
overseer for William Claiborne's plantation at Kecoughtan. TheVirginia
Company was dissolved in 1625 and another new leadership groupwas
established with Virginia as a royal colony. Claiborne hadfriends in
high places and was named to the Council of Virginia at age 24and
appointed Secretary of State at age 26. He had already begunto become
involved with the exploration of the upper Chesapeake Bay allthe way to
what is now Pennsylvania. While William Claiborne was involvedwith his
explorations and the official affairs of his position, WilliamHarris
managed Claiborne's plantation affairs on the Peninsula. Alsolocated at
Elizabeth City at this time was Anthony Burrows and John Laydonwho had
married Burrow's sister Anne in the first marriage in Virginia.John
Laydon had come to Jamestown in 1607 with the very firstvoyage. The
local official in the Elizabeth City area was Capt. RaleighCroshaw who
had come to Virginia in 1608 on the second supply. Croshaw had
accompanied Claiborne on his explorations and, with just a fewmen, had
successfully defended a remote trading outpost up on thePotomac River in
the 1622 attack. Burrows, Laydon, and the Croshaw family wouldall have
future involvement with William Harris and his family.

In 1624, the expansion into other areas of the lower VirginiaPeninsula
began to occur. To understand the migration patterns of thenext two
generations of this Harris family, even in such a small area,one needs
to understand a little about the geography of the VirginiaPeninsula.
The whole center section of the Peninsula running almost up to
Williamsburg was one big cypress swamp back in the early 1600s.The
swamp was the headwaters of the Back Bay and Poquoson River.The only
high land was along the banks of the James and York Rivers,which
consisted of sediment deposits washed down by ancient floods.The
Chiskiak Indians (under Powhatan) lived along the banks of theYork
River. The colonists lived along the banks of the James River.The
swamp in the middle was as impassable as a river. In fact, itwas more
impassable because, you could at least float across a river.To get from
one side of the Peninsula to the other, one had to go up theriver to
near Williamsburg before crossing over and coming down theother side.
This fact allowed the colonists and the Indians to co-exist onopposite
sides of the Peninsula until almost 1635.

In part, for carrying out his duties as Surveyor, Claibornereceived a
grant of 250 acres at Archer's Hope just below Jamestown in Dec1625. In
May 1626 he received an additional grant of 500 acres nearBlount Point
on the neck of land between the Warwick River and Deep Creek.At about
the same time William Harris received a grant at Blount Pointin
partnership with Anthony Burrows (see Leyden, Nugent I pg11).The
location of this parcel was inland from the main river,directly across
Deep Creek from the William Claiborne patent and adjacent toJohn Laydon.
Deep Creek could be entered by large sailing vessels so thiseffectively
gave Claiborne, Harris, Burrows and Laydon control of the creekas the
only deep water harbor in that area. William Harris patentedtwo
additional parcels at Blount Point in 1628 on the main river(Nugent I
pg12). While Claiborne's grant was permanent, the grants forWilliam
Harris, Burrows and Laydon were all ten year leases payablewith annual
amounts of tobacco. This indicates the land was for tobaccoplanting
only, and there was no intention of residing there. It isalmost certain
that William Harris returned at this time to reside atJamestown while
managing all of the various properties along the river fromJamestown to
Blount Point for himself and Claiborne. He would reside atJamestown for
the rest of his life. In 1636, at the expiration of theleases, John
Laydon permanently re-patented all of the above parcels atBlount Point
(Nugent I pg38), although he continued to live at ElizabethCity as
William Claiborne's neighbor. Laydon apparently retained theBlount
Point properties until his death around 1650 (see Hall, NugentI pg396).

There are a couple of things significant about the partnership
arrangement with Anthony Burrows. Burrows was older, born inLondon in
1581 (IGI P001531). His age was stated to be 44 in the musterof 1625.
He had been in Virginia since 1614 and had apparently broughthis family
with him. He had a brother named James and that was also thename of his
only son born in 1607. His daughter was named Ellen and shewas born in
1599 in London (all the same IGI record). Although there isnever any
direct statement, it later appears that James Harris ofYorktown is the
son of William Harris. Since James Harris first begins toappear in the
York County court records in 1647, he would have to be theoldest son of
William Harris and would have to have been born around 1625.This all
leads me to believe that William Harris had married, mostlikely to Ellen
Burrows, the daughter of Anthony Burrows and had named hisfirst son
James, after (or perhaps in honor of) Ellen Burrows' brother.William
Harris being married to Anthony Burrows' daughter and JohnLaydon to
Burrows' sister would account for the land relationship betweenthe three
at Blount Point in the 1620s and 1630s.

Claiborne made his first return voyage to England in the fallof 1630.
He would return to Virginia in the May of 1631. The purpose ofthe visit
was to secure financing for his Kent Island venture in theupper
Chesapeake and to recruit settlers. There are records thatcould be
interpreted to show that William Harris accompanied him toEngland. Two
patents by neighbors of Claiborne almost 40 years later containthe list
of headright claims that resulted from the return voyage toVirginia (see
Talbott & Downes, 1667, Nugent II pg27 and Goodrich, 1672,Nugent II
pg116). Claiborne never used these claims and assigned them toothers at
some point. We know they were from the 1631 voyage because ofa number
of the names on the list, in particularly that of WilliamDawson. Both
Claiborne and Lord Baltimore laid claim to Kent Island,resulting in a 20
year dispute that Claiborne eventually lost. On 23 April 1635,a ship
belonging to Lord Baltimore fired on one of Claiborne's ships,killing
three men including William Dawson. Ironically, Dawson'sheadright claim
wasn't used until almost 40 years after his death. WilliamHarris, who
in 1667 had died a decade earlier, was the first name on thelist behind
Claiborne's, followed by John Phipps and William Morris. Doesthis mean
they all made the voyage, or is it just an example of theflagrant abuse
of the headright system that was common at that time? I nowtend to
interpret this as being the latter. It just doesn't make sensethat
William Harris would go back to England with Claiborne. IfClaiborne was
going to be gone for nine months, he would need William Harristo remain
in Virginia to manage the plantations on the Peninsula.

Whether William Harris accompanied Claiborne or not, Claiborneapparently
made a visit to Willingale Doe, perhaps to consort withNathaniel Butler
who was trying to establish a settlement of his own onProvidence Island
in the Bahamas. For whatever reason, Claiborne was introducedto the
household of John Butler at Little Burch Hall. It was herethat he met
the 21 year old Elizabeth Butler. He also met her olderbrothers, John
and Thomas. John Butler was the same age as Claiborne, born 7Dec 1600
in Roxwell Parish (IGI C042551). Thomas Butler was slightlyyounger and
in 1625 had married Joan Mount-Stephen of Stepney, who was thewidow of a
personal friend of Claiborne's brother Thomas Claiborne. WhenClaiborne
returned to Virginia in May 1631 he was accompanied by his ownbrother,
Thomas Claiborne and his wife Jane, as well as by Thomas Butlerand his
wife Joan. Both families would be among the first settlers onKent
Island. Thomas Butler would eventually return to England, butin 1635,
John Butler and his entire family came to Virginia. JohnButler brought
with him his younger sister Elizabeth, now 25. ElizabethButler and
William Claiborne were married at the plantation at Kecoughtanwhere they
continued to live for a number of years. Capt. John Butlerbecame the
primary official at the Kent Island settlement for Claiborne.He died in
1642 but left a number of sons on Kent Island. While this mayall seem
irrelevant to William Harris, it will soon become apparent howit all
ties in.
