    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.

    Alice married Thomas HARRIS, Sr. in 1634 in Isle Of Wight, Virginia, Colonial USA. Thomas (son of Sgt. John HARRIS and Dorothy (Lymbrey) COLCOTT) was born on 10 Jun 1614 in Crixse, Essex County, England; died on 30 Mar 1671 in Isle of Wight, Virginia, British Colonial America; was buried in Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia, British Colonial America.

    Notes:

    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

    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

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