Thanks to all of you for the great suggestions. Hyde County, North Carolina has a great website. http://www.ncgenweb.us/hyde/HYDE.HTM Lots of records. Thomas Harris, husband of Diana Manners and first clerk of Perquimans precinct, is mentioned often. I see that his will is on rootsweb. It is said that he was born in England or Virginia between 1620 and 1630, and died between 1665-1669 in North Carolina. His children are Thomas b 1660 and John b 1662. John may have married Susannah Albertson. Does anyone have any information about his son Thomas? I haven't found a connection with him yet to my Thomas Harris (b abt 1676 Perquimans, Hyde, North Carolina) m Elender.
