James Harris

"James Harris, the progenitor of the New Jersey branch of the Harris family, was born in the City of Bristol, Somersetshere, England, close to the border of Wales, about the commencement of 1700; immigrated to America in 1725 (or about that time); settled in Essex County, Colony of New Jersey, where he married a woman by the name of Boleyn, by whom he had seven children-six sons and one daughter.

Of the history of James Harris, before he came to America, but very little is known, he dying just at the period when the war cloud of the American Revolution was beginning to be visible above the political horizon. He is said to have been a man of considerable force of character for one of his humble condition in life. He was a merchant tailor by occupation, an Episcopalian in religion, and a Loyalist or Tory in politics, and it was often remarked by his youngest son, that had his father lived until the war cloud burst upon the colonists, he would have undoubtedly have espoused the cause of the mother country against the revolted colonists, so firmly and so conscientiously was he established in the Tory doctrines of the divine appointment of Kings, and of the duty of the subjects to render passive obedience to all established authority, both civil and ecclesiastical, and the great sin of rebellion against either."
