Notes |
- Thomas Harris married 2nd wife Alice West. Alice, most likely, was a daughter of the West family that lived in Shirley Hundred Plantation in Charles City County, Va. Thomas and his new wife, with his children by his first marriage, moved about 1650 across the James River to the Pagan Creek area of Isle of Wight County, Va. This area has been referred to as a part of the great dismal swamp.
After the death of Thomas, Alice West Harris married John Sojourner of Virginia in 1673.

Dear Chuck:
1. The prenuptial agreement between Alice Harris (the widow of
Thomas Harris who was born in England in 1614 and died in Virginia in 1672), and
her intended 2nd husband, John Sojornour.
I had learned of the existence of this document in Isle of Wight County,
Virginia while I was gathering copies of the old wills which supported the
early history of this Harris family. Even with the help of a clerk in the
probate office of the Isle ofWight Court House, we could not locate this
particular document. Finally, onanother trip three or four years ago, and
with the help of another clerk, we were able to find the document.
This document is important because of the information the widow of Thomas
Harris gave about the children she had borne to the deceased Thomas Harris.
This document and its contents, together with the information contained in
the will of 1672 of Thomas Harris, were quite important in proving that the
deceased Thomas Harris had, indeed, had more than one wife and that he had
fathered two sons by the name of Thomas Harris - one by his last wife and
one by an earlier wife.
These documents, written in the oldEnglish style, require a great deal of
effort, patience and time in being able to read their contents.
One or more family historians had questioned that the Thomas Harris that
was born to Alice Harris was old enough to be the Thomas Harris who was born
about 1636. Indeed, he was too young. But, the Thomas Harris who was born to
the earlier wife of the decease, Thomas Harris, was of the right age. He was,
indeed, the Thomas Harris who was born about 1636 in Charles City County,
Virginia. These documents, when construed together, tell the story. The
historic and traditional story of this family history is supported by the
facts preserved in the old courthouses.
2. The will of John Harris; born c. 1665; and died in 1712 in the
Chowan precinct of the old Albermarle County of North Carolina. This old
Albermarle County is no longer in existence. This John Harris was a son of
the Thomas Harris; born c. 1636 mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.
John Harris (d123) is listed in the book on pages 11 and 13.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Harris

The following is a revised translation of the will of Thomas Harris (d1) by
Robert E. Harris, the compiler of the family history, FROM ESSEX ENGLAND TO
THE SUNNY SOUTHERN USA/ A HARRIS FAMILY JOURNEY. This translation,
improved from that in the book mentioned above, is from the will of Thomas Harris which was recorded in 1672 on page 111 of Wills and Deed Book 1 in the courthouse of Isle of Wight County, Virginia. This translation has been comparedwith the translations of this document made by others. [7]
