Discussion

+Despite some difficulties with dates, strong evidence supports the Percy-Harris connection as given. [1]

• Joanne (Johanna) Percy, supposedly (but maybe doubtfully) the wife of Arthur Harris of Prittlewell (or his son, Arthur). It is suggested that Joanne was the daughter of Sir Thomas Percy, the second son of Henry Algernon Percy, 5th Earl of Northumberland and his wife Catherine Spencer. Joanne's mother is supposedly Eleanor Harbottle. However, a glance at pg 417 of A General and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerages of England, Ireland and Scotland (etc, etc) by John Burke(pub. 1831), shown no such daughter descended from Sir Thomas Percy (left only two sons). A website the Harris Legacy shown nothing of any relationship between Arthur Harris and Joanne Percy (click on the Harris Family of Essex, England, scroll down for Arthur Harris, who had a different wife).

Gary Lewis JOHANNA PERCY'S PARENTS WERE THOMAS PERCY (B. 1537) AND ELEANOR HARBOTTLE. Johanna is a descendant of the Henry Percy called "Hotspur" in a Wm. Shakespeare play, and a figure in English history. The Johanna who md "an Arthur Harris" is descended from King Edward III. Problem is -which Arthur Harris??
