11265 This is the famous Lady Godiva. She complained constantly to her husband that the taxes were too high on the townspeople of Coventry. He finally said that he would reduce the taxes if she would ride nude through the marketplace on market day. She arranged for all of the men to remain inside and covered her entire body, except her legs, with her hair. Supposedly one person named Tom did not remain inside during her ride and became known as "Peeping Tom". Leofric eliminated all taxes, except for one on horses. During Edward I's reign, a check was made and the only tax in Coventry was one on horses. Since 1678 the town of Coventry still celebrates the ride during its annual fair.

Concerning her dates of birth and death. I originally had 980-1067, but this was not in agreement with Ancestral Roots line 176a-2, which has her birth at c1010 and her marriage at c1030. Nor was it consistant with the Encyclopedia Britannica which had Godiva fl. 1040-1080. However the 980 birth date was consistant with her gr grandaughter Nesta b. c1055/7, dau of Edith, dau of Aelfgar, son of Godiva. With some serious scrunching of dates I could conceive of:

Godiva b. 1010 (originally 980)
Aelfgar b. 1025 (originally 1002)
Edith b. 1041 (originally 1030)
Nesta b. 1057

with two other daughters of Leofric born to a "first wife or mistress". It is physically possible for 3 generations in a row born at the 15/16th year of their parents life (however unlikely), so that is what I have done.

Hi Jim,
You may want to adjust the date of death [of Godiva, which at the time was 10 Sep 1067]]
Warwickshire - the Domesday Book in 1086

Perhaps one of the most famous early personalities of the period was Lady Godiva (Godwa or Godgifu) who allegedly rode naked the streets of Coventry in Warwickshire as a protest against her husband's high taxes on the people of the city. This husband, Earl Leofric, a Saxon Earl of Mercia, died an old man in 1057, nine years before the Norman Conquest. They seemingly had issue, at least one daughter, who married into the Malet family. 29 years after her husband's death, Lady (Countess) Godiva held many estates in Warwickshire, including Coventry, as revealed by the Domesday Book in 1086. Chronologically, either Leofric had married a child bride, or Lady Godivawas a very old woman at the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086. The former is the most likely. The lordships bestowed on Lady Godiva in Warwickshire by William the Conqueror in 1066 were considerable, probably the result of an alliance struck either with Leofric or Lady Godiva before the Conquest. Since, Lady Godiva was a wealthy woman in 1057, and still wealthy after the Conquest, it is not likely she displayed herself in protest after that date, since she would have been protesting her own taxation. She apparently inherited her lands and titles in 1057. Therefore, the event in question probably took place, if at all, several years before 1057, when, young and innocent, the impatient and passionate Lady Godiva, appalled by her aging husband's despotic ways, leapt on her nag and took to the streets of Coventry in all her naked glory, perhaps too young to realize that within a few short years she would be in full control of all the taxation of her husband's considerable holdings at the time of his death, holdings which she carried through to at least 1086.

Also the Encyclop?dia Britannica lists "fl. c. 1040, -80"

Godiva's ancestry is uncertain, but she was evidently of an old, noble family. [Ref: Weis AR7 176A]

11266 This is the RHODE ISLAND Adam, 1622 m. Mary Lott. This is NOT the NY Adam Mott #LRD9-36N
When Adam Mott was born in 1623 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England, his father, Adam, was 27 and his mother, Elizabeth, was 23. He was married three times and had five sons and 14 daughters. He died on April 5, 1693, in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, at the age of 70.
Adam Mott was born in 1623 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England, to Elizabeth Creel, age 23, and Adam Mott, age 27.

His brother Jonathan was born in 1626 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, when Adam was 3 years old.

His sister Elizabeth was born on May 5, 1629, in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, when Adam was 6 years old.

His mother Elizabeth passed away in 1632 in Essex, England, at the age of 32.

His father Adam Mott I immigrated to the USA with his second wife Sarah Jennings Lott (1604-1661), her daughter Mary Lott (1631-1712) (by her first husband Englebert Pieters Lott), Adam Mott II (son of Elizabeth Creel), John Mott (1626-1653), & Elizabeth Mott (1629-1694) in the year 1635. They arrived in Roxbury, Massachusetts.

Adam Mott married his step-sister (not a blood relative) Mary Lott in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in October 1647 when he was 24 years old.

Adam Mott arrived on board the Defense in 1635 with his father, Adam, stepmother Sarah and siblings (along with Mary Lott, Sarah's daughter by her first marriage). They arrived in Massachusetts, but moved to RI later. He eventually married his step sister Mary Lott (not his real sister).

11267 This John Smythe was a clothier, his will was proved 8 October 1538, and he was buried before the will was proved

Not to be confused with Sir John Smythe was High Sheriff of Essex, England, and that is NOT THIS JOHN SMYTHE!!!!! 		SMYTHE, John (I594767187)
 
11268 This John Watts was an Indian trader with the Cherokee and of mixed Cherokee (mother) and British (father) blood. He also acted as an interpreter for them in dealing with the U. S. Army, etc.

Many researchers have the date of his death as his son's death date. This John Watts died 1771 at age 46. His son, Young Tassel John Watts was born at 96 District, South Carolina; the same place Trader John Watts lived in 1753.

Old Frontiers, John P. Brown, pg. 353:
....a white trader who served Captain Demere as interpreter during the building of Fort Loudon.
His wife was the sister of Chief Doublehead, aka Old Tassel and Pumpkin Boy.
John Watts was first hired by Christian Quest, grandfather of Sequoia, to work for the Virginia Land Company. He was known as a Virginia Trader; they worked out of Charleston, S.C. Researcher Robert D. Epps (see Watts Genforum Message Board, #2001, http://genforum.genealogy.com/watts), says In 1754 a John Watts married a Joppe Stuart in Charleston, S.C. John and Charles Stuart were British Indian agents into the Cherokee Nation. John Watts worked as an interpreter for them. Most likely there is a Town Family, as well as the Native American Family."
John Watts entered the original Cherokee county about the middle of the 18th century (prior to 1750). As an interpreter, he accompanied Ammonscossitte, Young Emperor of the Cherokees, on a trip from Tellico in Tennessee to Williamsburg, Virginia in 1752. (See, "The CHEROKEE FRONTIER: CONFLICT AND SURVIVAL", by David Corkran, page 437). He also served Captain Raymond Demere as interpreter during the building of British Fort Loudon in 1756-1757. During this time, he was accused of stirring up trouble between the Cherokees and the white settlers. In a letter from Littleton to Demere, Littleton says, "I'm well convinced that this talk proceeded from something that was told the Indians by John Elliot and John Watts. Watts speaks their language well. Elliott and Watts are a couple of dangerous people." (Old Frontiers by J. P. Brown).
As stated in "Diplomacy and the Indian Gifts" by Wilbur Jacobs, John Watts was in New York December 2 - 17, 1755 with Thomas Pownall, Olivery Delancy, Goldbrow Banyar, Daniel Claus and Peter Wraxall to plan the downfall of Sir William Shirle. One of John's sons, Garrett Watts, was born on January 8, 1756 in Caroline County, VA. It doesn't seem possible that John would have made it back for the birthing. (As noted by Betty Watts, whose husband Noel E. Watts is a 4th great grandson of Garrett.)
From the book, "John Stuart and the Southern Colonial Frontier", by John Richard Alden, we find that in 1757, John Watts was a supervisor of parties of Cherokees and Catawabas coming into Virginia, along with Richard Smith and Thomas Rutherford, all of whom were given the titles of "Conductors and Guides". The book also mentions that in 1761, John Watts escorted Tistoe of Keowee, and Slavecatcher of Tomotley back to Ouconnostotah. John at the time was Captain in the Provincial Rangers.
In 1763, John Watts acted as interpreter at the treaty of Augusta, as mentioned in "Tennesse during the Revolutionary War", by Samuel Cole Williams. In 1767, John Watts accompanied Attokullalulla and Ouconnastotoah and their children, as mentor and interpreter, to Charleston. Stuart permitted only eight persons to go.
See "Who Was Among the Southern Indians, a Genealogical Notebook", 1698-1907, by Don Martini: Page 691: Watts, John - Cherokee Trader, lived at Ninety-Six, South Carolina in 1751. He was a British interpreter for the Cherokees at Fort Loudoun (S.C.) in 1758 and at Augusta in 1763, and continued to fill that position at the 1770 treaty negotiations. He died early in 1771, and was replaced by John Vann. Married to a sister of Doublehead, he was the father of Chief John Watts.
There is a lot of speculation as to the actual wife of John Watts. Some say she is the daughter of Chief Atakullakulla and some say she is the daughter of Chief Great Eagle. J. P. Brown, in his book "Old Frontiers", says that John Watts married the sister of Chiefs Old Tassel, Doublehead, and Pumpkin Boy. Their other sister was Wurteh (mother of Sequoah). I have seen her name as: Xaiyantshee, Onitositah, Kay-i-o, GHI-GO-NE-II, etc. Research will continue.
I have nine children listed on my Descendants List for John and his wife (as taken from various sources). They are noted as #2 and their children are noted as #3.
The following quotation from a petition by Garret Watts (son of John) for a Revolutionary War Pension was posted on the Watts Genforum Board (http://genforum.genealogy.com/watts), message #929:
"I was born on the 08 day of January, 1756 in Caroline County in Virginia. At the age of 12, moved to North Carolina where I entered the service of the U.S. My age is recorded in my father's bible which is in possession of some of his descendants I know not. When I was first called, I lived in Casswell County, North Carolina. After the war, I moved to Jefferson City, Georgia, then to Perry City in the State of Alabama where I now live."
CHIEF JOHN WATTS:
FROM "WHO WAS WHO AMONG THE SOUTHERN INDIANS, A GENEALOGICAL NOTEBOOK", 1698-1907 by Don Martini: Watts, John - Cherokee Chief, was born in 1753, the son of Trader John Watts. Also known as Kettiegesta, he was for many years a leading chief of the warlike Chickamauga faction of Cherokees that waged war on the American Frontier. He fought against John Sevier at Boyd's Creek in 1780. Two years later, he served as a guide for Sevier, but he led the General's troops from the Chickamauga towns. In May, 1792, he was described as a "bold, sensible, and friendly half breed" and as a "stout, bold and enterprising man". Despite all the compliments by the Americans, he continued to wage war on the frontier. He was severely wounded in a raid on Buchanan's Station, near Nashville, on September 30, 1792. While recuperating, he met with Governor William Blount of the Southwest Territory at Henry's Station, near Long Island on the Holston, in April, 1793. After his daughter was killed by whites on June 16, 1793, he again went on the warpath. In September, 1793, he, Doublehead, and James Vann led 1000 warriors toward Knoxville, only to abort the raid. He is said to have joined Chief Bowl and others in the attack on whites at Muscle Shoals in June, 1794. In November, 1794, following Major James Ore's successful invasion of the Chickamauga towns, Watts and other Cherokees sued for peace. In December 1796, he visited President Washington in Philadelphia, and in October, 1800, he met with Moravian missionaries at Spring Place. He signed the treaty of 1805. Once described as the greatest ballplayer in the Cherokee Nation, he died either on the Mississippi River about 1805 or at Willstown (AL), with burial there. He was a brother to Unacata and to a Cherokee killed at Boyd's Creek, and was the father of John Watts, Big Rattlinggourd, and perhaps Hard Mush (Gatunuali).
From page 353 of Old Frontiers, by J. P. Brown: "Chief John Watts was described by Governor Blount as "unquestionably the leading man in his Nation." He possessed a talent for making friends, red and white. William Martin, son of General Joseph Martin, said of him, "He was one of the finest looking men I ever saw, large of stature, bold and magnanimous, a great friend of my father's." Major G. W. Sevier states: "He was a noble looking Indian, always considered a generous and honorable enemy," and other pioneers paid high tribute to his "engaging personality." 		WATTS, "Trader" John "Forked Tongue" (I11696)
 
11269 This John Watts was an Indian trader with the Cherokee and of mixed Cherokee and British blood. He also acted as an interpreter for them in dealing with the U. S. Army, etc. When Chief Dragging Canoe died in 1792, he named John Watts as the new Cherokee Chief.

11270 This line of Oliphants is known to have resided in Dickson County as well as in Rutherford and Williamson Counties.

Kizzie May's death certificate indicates her death at such an early age was caused by "Asphyxia" contributed to by "Laryngeal Diphtheria." She is buried in Section N, Row 3, Grave 30 in Spring Hill Cemetery. It seems a shame that Kizzie died of diphtheria when that illness is easily taken care of now days. 		OLIPHANT, Kizziah "Kizzie" May (I28572)

11272 This location would have to be just down the road from the Mitchell, Joslin, and Rooker families. Jesse is listed next door to his brother Albert and just down the road from Alsey. Also listed on the same page is Shaderick Bell and James Robertson. Robert Duke and Burwell Jackson are shown living in the same neighborhood. Sources say that Jesse and Sarah had some eight children.

In the 1840 Dickson County Census Jesse M. Speight is listed as head of a household consisting of 1 male 30 to 40, 2 females under 5, 2 females 5 to 10, and 1 female 15 to 20. His first wife, unk Harris died in 1840.
In the Dickson County Census of 1850, Jesse M. Speight, 45, farmer, and his second wife Sarah, 40, are listed as having nine children, viz.: Julia - 19, Evaline - 18, Almyra - 15, Guilford - 14, Matilda - 12, Jesse - 8, Edithy - 6, Nancy - 4, and Elizabeth - 2.

In the 1850 Slave Schedule, Jesse M. Speight is listed right under Moses Parker, with Jesse owing 6 Slaves, 4 adults, 2 children.

Jesse M. Speight's obituary was printed in the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate, Thursday, July 22, 1853, and reads as follows:
Died, at his residence in Dickson county, Tenn, May 19, 1852, Mr. Jesse M. Speight, in the 47th year of his age.
Brother Speight was for fifteen years an acceptable member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which he has left to join the church triumphant on high.
Methodist preachers, as well as those of his own communion, received at his house a hearty welcome and were kindly and hospitably entertained and cared for.
His last illness was short, though severe; but he bore it with Christian fortitude and resignation, and met the last enemy with the courage of the true soldier, saying to weeping friends in his last hours, that he was not afraid to die, and that he was ready for the change of worlds.
He has left behind a bereaved widow, (sister of Rev. L. C. Bryan of Tennessee Conference,) and nine children. May God administer comfort in this dark hour, and enable them, by his grace, so to pass the waves of this weeping world, as ultimately to meet their loved and lost in the climes of light and love. 		SPEIGHT, Jesse M.

11276 This proves that "Percival" was NOT the famous novelist/humorist's middle name. "Pope" is written in his mother's own hand. The Opie Pope family had a business across the street from the Read's carriage shop in Nashville in the 1850's, hence the name. Percival was made up as were many of his stories about the family.

11278 This Thomas died between 6/18/1555 (date he made his will) and 7/11/1555
(when his father's will listed him as deceased).

This Thomas was a draper by occupation.

THOMAS PAYNE (C), draper, of Great Ellingham, Norfolk County, England,
was born probably about 1510. He married Cecily Turmor (died after
1555), the daughter of Thomas and _________ Turmor. Thomas died between
June 18, 1555, when he made his will, and July 11, 1555, when his
father, in his will of that date, named him as deceased.

11281 This William is mentioned in a lawsuit in May 1813, Adams County. In this lawsuit, William is mentioned as having died without children, and in his Will, his considerable wealth was to be distributed to his nephews, Arthur Carney of the Choctaw Nation and William Carney of Georgia.

John Cummins and Nancy/Ann Breashears, guardians .
Testimony taken from Samuel Gibson of Port Gibson states that Arthur Carney took possession of some cash found in a trunk following the death of William Carney SR. Marian (aka Maria) & Elizabeth were heirs of Arthur Carney. John Taylor is Wm Carney's Att'y. (See WM Brocus VS Thomas Crabb) William Carney was Samuel Gibson's Uncle. WM Carney Sr. who died Jan 2, 1795 left his entire estate to his nephews. Arthur Carney of the Choctaw Nation & William Carney then of Camden Co. Ga. Arthur Carney deceived Williams as to the value of this estate and William accepted payment of $800.00 for his part witnessed by WM Davis & Rees when the estate was really worth more than $10,000
William Carney states that he was born Feb 28, 1779 and was therefore under age 21 at that time; and that he came to the MS Territory in 1806 and found out the truth about this estate.

---------------------

EARLDOM OF WARWICK (XII) 1369

THOMAS (DE BEAUCHAMP), defacto EARL OF WARWICK, also hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire and Chamberlain of the Exchequer, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir male, was born before 16 March 1338/9; knighted, with his brother Guy, July 1355; was granted for his good service a pension of 100 marks, 26 November following; was going to Prussia, with his brother William, November 1367, and to Brittany, May 1368; and had seisin of his inheritance as heir male of entail, 7 February 1369/70. He was sent with the Earl of Suffolk to Cherbourg, July 1370, to escort the King of Navarre to England; sailed with the King's unsuccessful expedition for the relief of Rochelle and Thouars, August 1372; nominated K.G. 1373; took part in John of Gaunt's historic but fruitless march from Calais to Bordeaux, August-December 1373, and in the descent on Brittany, 1375; Chief Commissioner to enforce the truce with Scotland, 29 January and 29 July 1375, and a Commissioner for the same, 6 September 1380. In the "Good Parliament" of 1376 and in those of February and October 1377 he was a Commissioner appointed by the Lords to act with the Commons for reform. At the Coronation of Richard II, 16 July 1377, he carried the third sword and exercised his hereditary office of Pantler. He was appointed Admiral of the fleet towards the North, 5 December 1377; Guardian of the King communi sententia, circa Februaty 1379/80; a Commissioner of retrenchment, 2 March following; and he was going to Ireland with the Earl of March April 1380. During the Peasants' Revolt, June 1381, he was with the King in the Tower and was later sent, with Sir Thomas Percy, to protect St. Albans Abbey. In 1385 he accompanied Richard II on his only expedition into Scotland. On 14 November 1387 the Earls of Gloucester, Warwick and Arundel, having taken up arms, "appealed" of treason the King's advisers, the Duke of Ireland (de Vere) and the Earl of Suffolk; and, with the Earl of Derby, they trapped and defeated de Vere at Radcot Bridge, 20 December following. In the "Merciless Parliament" that followed, February 1387/8, these Lords Appellant, including Warwick, impeached de Vere and Suffolk and other leaders of the King's party, some of whom were executed. They further obtained a grant of ?20,000 for themselves, 2 June 1388, and, having introduced some reforms, remained in power till May 1389. After some years of retirement and as a result of a law-suit in 1396, he was compelled to hand over Gower and Swansea Castle to the Earl of Nottingham, 1 June 1397. Possibly as a result of this he may have joined in the alleged plot of Gloucester and Arundel (which was betrayed to Richard Il by Nottingham), for which he was arrested in the house of the Bishop of Exeter at Temple Bar on a charge of high treason and committed, 12 July 1397, to the Tower of London and afterwards to Tintagel Castle, Cornwall. At his trial in Parliament, 28 September following, he confessed his treason and pleaded guilty, whereby accordingly his honours and estates were forfeited and he himself banished to the Isle of Man under guard of William (le Scrope), Earl of Wiltshire, who treated him harshly. Being liberated on the accession of Henry IV, at whose Coronation, 13 October 1399, he bore the third sword, he was restored in Parliament, 19 November following. He became a member of the Council, before 4 December 1399, accompanied the King against the rebel Earls, January 1399/1400, and was at Shrewsbury, with the Archbishop of Canterbury and Duke of York, 15 October 1400.

He married, before April 1381, Margaret, daughter of William (FERRERS), 3rd LORD FERRERS (of Groby), by his 1st wife, Margaret, sister and (in her issue) coheir of William, 2nd EARL OF SUFFOLK, 3rd daughter of Robert (DE UFFORD), 1st EARL OF SUFFOLK. He died 8 April 1401, aged over 62, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. M.I. She died 22 January 1406/7 and was buried with him. M.I.

Erskine was the son of Robert Erskine, 1st Lord Erskine, and Elizabeth, daughter of David Lindsay, 1st Earl of Crawford. He married Janet Douglas. They had several children. One daughter, Helen, married Humphrey Colquhoun of Luss, son of Sir John Colquhoun of Luss. Another daughter, Margaret, married William Keith, 1st Earl Marischal.[1]

Lord Erskine died in 1494 and was succeeded by his son, Alexander.

The identity of Thomas Erskine's wife is not certain. She may not have been a daughter of the 1st Earl of Morton although that is often stated, sometimes as Elizabeth but perhaps more often as Janet. Cunningham gedcom source says this Janet died without male issue which would seem to promote Elizabeths claim to the position of wife of Thomas Erskine and mother of his heir and probably other children.

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

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. 		HARRIS, Thomas Sr. (I1573)
 
11299 Thomas Harris was born in 1636 in Charles City County, Virginia and died in 1688 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Apparently, Thomas did not move to Isle of Wight Co, Va until about the time of his father's death. It appears, Thomas had remained in Charles City County with other relatives, for a few years, before rejoining his family in their new home. Thomas married Ann Martin in Charles City County, Va. Apparently, Ann died before Thomas. The will of Thomas tells the sad story of a 52 year old man leaving nine children without a mother and most of them being very young. The extreme care Thomas took to assure the welfare and safety of his children revealed his tenderness, love and concern for his children. He left these explicit instructions: "If my son, Edward, my overseers, or either of them shall find that any of my children be abused; that either of them may have the liberty of removing them to some other place where they shall think fit.
1672- Rec'd land from father's estate, including half of land where father had lived, & 280 acs. which included the Indian lands.
1687- Bought 150 acs. from Philip & Sarah RAIFORD
16 Mar 1688 - Left will, probated 7 Oct 1688

TESTE, JOHN PITT, CL. CUR.
THE FOREGOING IS AS NEAR A TRUE COPY AS I CAN MAKE OF THE WILL OF THOMAS HARRIS, OF RECORD IN WILL BOOK NO 1661-1719, NO. 2 TESTE, A.G. JOHNSON, CLERK


THOMAS WAS LIEUTENANT IN VIRGINIA MILITIA.

Thomas appears not to have moved to Isle of Wight until after his father's death in 1672. His father bequeathed him one-half of the land on which he lived and requested he live upon it, and also 280 acres which he bought of "the Indian town." Thomas Harris received a grant in Isle of Wight of 183 acres in 1685 (Book 7, p. 441). His will was made March 14, 1687. It was recorded Oct. 7, 1688 (Will Book 2, Part 2, p.285) . He was sick and weak, and it was signed with his mark. Edward, his eldest son, was married, but appeared to be living with his father. He said in his will Robert Harris was to live with John Fulgham three years, his son George was to live with John Turner four years, Martin to remain with his brother Edward Harris six years, son William to live with Bridgman Joyner seven years, daughter Ann to live with Mrs. Ann Sharpe seven years if Mrs. Sharpe shall live so long, Edward, executor, overseer Mr. John Fulgham and Rr. John Turner.

Note: The Meherrin River is along today's N. C. border directly south of Richmond, VA

John Turner was the father-in-law ie: Mary Turner's father

George Harris (brother of Edward) was to live with John Turner from 1687 by will of Thomas Harris, Jr.
See above information.

The John Harris witness was undoubtedly his brother (1665-1764). md Mary Drew 		HARRIS, Thomas III (I1568)
 
11300 Thomas his wife Ann and three children came to Australia nearly 60 years ago, in the ship Alexandria, the voyage occupying six months. The family landed at Brisbane and shortly after went to Moggill in The Settler, which at that time plied between Ipswich and Brisbane by river. After a residence of one year at Moggill, the family moved to Goodna, where they remained for another year. Over 60 years ago they removed to Rosevale, where Mr. Lawrance selected land and engaged somewhat extensively in potato-growing.
