i have also talked about this william harris/ mary of louisa/ goochland co, va whose son sherwood harris married hannah page and moved to granville co, va and i have posted info on harris hunters, including goochland co, va deeds showing that besides this sherwood harris, william harris/ mary also had a son gilliam harris and also this is stated to have been their daughter, agnes harris, who married john cawthon. to repeat, i am a harris married to a cauthen and i do not know if my husband's cauthen line and family was related to this cawthon family of goochland/ hanover cos, va or not. both my william harris/ judith hudson of brunswick/ lunenburg cos, va and this william harris/ mary of louisa/ goochland cos, va could NOT possibly be the sons, william, of our william harris/ mary giles. it is my brother david harris who is participating in the harris dna project and this was my/ our william harris, sr/ frances goode who was the son of my/ our william harris/ judith hudson both of lunenburg/ mecklenburg co, va, confirmed, per the records, including, again, also this 1750 dodson survey for this land on wynn creek, and by our harris dna and, likewise, also confirmed by the records, including this brunswick co, va deed wherein my william harris/ judith hudson sold this land to stephen harris and, again, confirmed also by our harris dna this is/ was my/ our william harris/ judith hudson who was the son, william, of our william harris/ mary giles. however, in my looking at this info re this william harris/ mary of louisa/ goochland co, va and his involved connections with our harris family and the cawthons, george alvis and his son, david alvis, there in hanover/ goochland cos, va, i have to agree with others i have and continue to correspond with re william harris/ mary of louisa/ goochland co, va that he is also related harris family re our captain thomas harris' line and family. again, the only way that this william harris/ mary of louisa/ goochland cos, va could also be part of our captain thomas harris' harris line and family is that he was the son of our william harris/ mary giles' brother, edward harris and i would say probably also by his 1st wife, also named, mary. this is also certainly indicated, again, by these hanover co, va records as, again, it was our william harris/ mary giles' brother, edward harris, who was more involved there in hanover co, va with david alvis and the crenshaws. again, after our alice died, george alvis is stated to have married mary crenshaw. here, again, is info, for example, from the st paul's vestry book connecting edward harris. brother of our william harrid/ mary giles with david alvis and william cawthon. According to the St. Paul’s Vestry in 1735, Benjamin Johnson was assigned the tithables of John Price, Tho. Grant, Edward Harris, David Alvis, Tho Winpenney, Wm Hix, Wm Cawthon, Nich Gentry, John Ross and Laurence Forguson to clear the road. Also in 1735, Thomas Johnson was ordered to procession the lands of Benj. Johnson, Thos. Grant, John Price, John Williamson, & Cha. Anderson. The Harlows are not mentioned, but Thomas and Benjamin do seem to be living in the same area as in 1731. 1739 was the year of another similar processioning order. again, here are also the henrico co, va deeds re our william harris/ mary giles (?) and his brother, edward harris, and his wife also named, mary, sons of our major william harris, by his 2nd wife, alice, who, again, remarried george alvis. again, by his 1st wife, unknown, our major william harris also had a son thomas harris, who died unmarried and without issue in 1679 in henrico co, va.
