• WILLIAM HARRIS, (son of Elizabeth,) had a house-lot granted to him in Rowley, adjacent to the lot of John Harris, 10, 11, 1643-4. His wife "Eedy" or Edith was admitted to the church at Charlestown, in 1642. They removed to Rowley before 1646, and their daughter Mary was born there 1, 1, 1645[-6 ?]. William Harris bought land in Malden of his "father-in-law, Wm. Stitson," and sold the same 12, 4, 1652, his wife "Edee" relinquishing dower. At that time he seems to have been living in Charlestown, where he was also in 1653, and was called "yeoman." He bought a house and land in Hartford, Conn., of William Williams, April 16, 1659. Subsequently he removed to Middletown, where " Eudith," his "wife," "departed this life August 5, 1685)." Mr. William Harris is said to have died in 1717, at an advanced age. He does not seem to have had any sons, and no record of the births of his daughters, except of Mary, the eldest, has been found. Their names, however, are known by sundry deeds of real estate conveyed to them by their father, in his life-time, in 1668, 1671, and 1678, and also by the probate records, where some of their names appear. They were Mary, Martha, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Patience. Mary was married first to John Ward of Middletown, and secondly to John Gilbert, whom also she survived. By her first husband she had John, 1665, Andrew, 1667, Esther, 1669, Mary, 1672, William, 1674, Samuel, 1679, and another who died in infancy. Martha was married to William Coit of New London. Elizabeth was married to Edward Foster of Middletown. Hannah was married, Feb. 8, 1654-5, to Lieut. Francis Wetmore of Middletown, and had ten children, the oldest of whom was named Edith. This
