comments

"The family of this Thomas Harris are well documented in a 1995 book entitled "The Five Thomas Harrises of Isle of Wight County Virginia" by John A Brayton. It proves that this Thomas Harris d1712 only had one wife Judith Edwards who was still single in Sept 1701 when she sold her 1/3 share of the land inherited by her and her two sisters to a brother in law James Briggs. It goes further to prove that Thomas and Judith only had ONE child, a son Benjamin Harris who died before 1758 leaving only a daughter Mary as 'sole heir" of the property of her deceased father and his mother." - Tom King
