It should be noted that the connection between Thomas Harris of Virginia and Sir William Harris of Essex has been disproven. Sir William's son Thomas died testate and unmarried in England. The relevant citations can be found in the archives of the "Harris Hunters" Rootsweb list, possibly in the archives of this list as well.
