• Notes

  Alice, most likely, was a daughter of the West family that lived in Shirley Hundred Plantation in Charles City County, Va. Thomas Harris 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. RE: 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. 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.
