Dear Lois, I don't know if or precisely how this (Captain) William HARRIS connects with my HARRIS family in early 1600s in Virginia but I am in hopes that someone on the list can help clear up the dates for us as mine a bit different than yours as I show below. This information came to me along with other information that connects with my research so I am not sure of the total accuracy or citations of proof but, perhaps, it will give you something to utilize for more intensive research and, perhaps, there is someone on the list that will have corrections and/or additions. (Captain) William HARRIS, born: 1672 in Hanover County, Virginia or in 1652 in Weyanoke, Virginia and died: 1720 in Norfolk, Virginia or March 08, 1687 in Weyanoke, Virginia and he married: Temperance OVERTON, born: March 02, 1678/79 in England or in New Kent County, Virginia, died: February 09, 1715/16 in Cedar Hill, Hanover County, Virginia or in Abt. 1710 and that they married in Abt. 1695 in St. Peter's Church, New Kent County, Virginia. I show Temperance OVERTON is the daughter of William (1) OVERTON, I/Sr., born: December 03, 1638 in Easington, Yorkshire, England, died: 1697 in New Kent County, Virginia, and the 1st wife of William (1) OVERTON, I/Sr.. I do not show a wife's name for William (1) OVERTON, I/Sr. but I do show one other child for him who was William (2) OVERTON, II/Jr., born: 1675, died: June 18, 1759, who married Margaret GARLAND, born: 1702 whom I show as the sister of Elizabeth Truhart GARLAND, born: 1690, died: November 19, 1739, who married in 1706 in Hanover County,Virginia to James (1) OVERTON, Sr., born: 1688 in St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County, Virginia, died: June 18, 1747 in Hanover County, Virginia, son of Elizabeth/Mary or Mary Elizabeth WATERS, born: December 30, 1654 in St. Sepulchre's, London, England, died: 1697 in St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, Virginia, who married on November 24, 1670 in Yorktown, Virginia as the 2nd wife to William (1) OVERTON, I/Sr., born: December 03, 1638 in Easington, Yorkshire, England, died: 1697 in New Kent County, England, (father of Temperance OVERTON shown above.) This Elizabeth/Mary or Mary Elizabeth WATERS was the daughter of Anne ?, born: 1619 in London, England, died: June 27, 1700 in St. Sepulchre, London, England, md: 1639 at St. Sepulchre, London, England, and husband named Samuel (2) WATERS, Sr., born: 1617 in Eastcott, Northhamptonshire, England, son of Alice GETLANDE, born: 1592 in Eastcotte, Northamptonshire, England, md: September 01, 1606 in Eastcoff, Northamptonshire, England, and John WATERS, born: November 22, 1590 in Eastcott, Northamptonshire, England, died: July 20, 1626 in Eastcott, Northamptonshire, England.
