Notes:

To No?l J. Harris Robertson You definitely have the proof that William Harris of Southminster is the son of John Herrys of Prittlewell & not Arthur Harris who married Joan Percy. "Glenn Gohr"

More About WILLIAM HARRIS, SIR: Aka (Facts Pg): Sir William of Prittlewell Occupation: Merchant in London

Probablly never knighted. In his will he refers to himself as the Elder of Southminster parish in the County of Essex Squire and Neither does the courtindicate him either as Knight or Sir

The main records we have to rely on for William Harris of Southminster are the Visitations of Essex 1552. Essentially that information tells us the basics about the first three generations. William Harris first married Joanna Smith, had son and heir William who married Jane Semer, and who likewise had a son named William. The Visitations of Essex 1558 go on to list all three wives, all thirteen of his children, as well as a number of his grandchildren. Since he was a prominent Essex official, there are other court records that substantiate the time period in which he lived. His will in 1556 confirms five of his sons, that his last wife was named Agnes (Rutter), and lists the properties he owned.The five surviving sons that were still living in 1556 were William and Vincent by the first marriage, Arthur by the second marriage, and Christopher and Edward by the third marriage. (A full copy of the will submitted by No?l Robertson can be found in the archives of Harris-Va on Rootsweb.) Even if the Visitations of Essex are inaccurate, we know that he did have those five sons, and he names them in that order in his will. The oldest son William actually does not receive a legacy from his father in the will. Wording in the will implies that the son William Harris had already been provided for and was well established in 1556. It is stated that he had already been assigned property that was not named in the will. We do not know the location of that property.

Although there are few actual parish records for the early 1500s, we can estimate by various sources that William Harris married his first wife Johanna Smith around 1515. With thirteen children, if William Harris averaged one child every two years over all three wives, that would put the last child being born in 1541. We already know from the 1556 will that Christopher and Edward Harris were still underage in 1556 confirming that Edward, the last son, was probably not born until around 1540-1545. If William, the first son, was born shortly after the 1515 marriage, then he was just coming of age, marrying, and having his first son William in that same 1540-1545 time period. That means William Harris of Southminster had a son Edward and a grandson William who were approximately the same age.

William married Johanna COOKE in 1525 in , Southminster, Essex, England. Johanna (daughter of Unknown COOKE) was born in 1500 in Bocking, Essex, England; died about 1531 in Essex County, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

William Waldegrave was born and brought up at his maternal grandfather's house in Suffolk. The deaths within the space of 14 months of his paternal grandfather Sir William Waldegrave and his own father left him heir to one of the handsomest patrimonies at the age of a few weeks short of 21. The marriage contracted for him by his father while dying strengthened his connexions in the region and added to his property. From thenceforward he combined local administration with attendance at court and military service. Knighted at the coronation of Anne Boleyn he headed the commission to take the oath of succession in Suffolk. In the autumn of 1536 he was one of a group of men who Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, believed would quell any rising in Suffolk. Two years later he approached Cromwell about help in obtaining an unspecified reward from Henry VIII, but nothing came of this, perhaps because later in the same year he told the minister about his troubled conscience over enforcing the injunctions for divine service to be said in English. Nothwithstanding his 'great heartburning' he remained on the bench and in 1539 he was ordered to attend the reception of Anne of Cleves.

In 1542 Waldegrave served under the Duke of Norfolk's command against the Scots and two years later he captained 60 of his own men in the French campaign. His election to the Parliament of 1545 reflected this recent military experience as much as his own standing in Suffolk and may have been promoted by his uncle Sir William Drury as sheriff. Of his part in the Parliament nothing has come to light but during the prorogation he was present at the reception of the Admiral of France at Greenwich. Although he was not to be re-elected, early in Jan 1553 the Council considered him for nomination with Sir William Drury as knights for Suffolk in the forthcoming Parliament but in the event nominated Sir Henry Bedingfield with Drury. Following Edward VI's death in the summer Cecil listed Waldegrave among potential supporters of Lady Jane Grey but on being summoned to Kenninghall by Mary on 8 Jul he joined the princess in her successful bid for the throne. Later he heard the indictments in Suffolk against Jane's adherents.

While on a visit to Calais late in 1554, perhaps in connexion with the arrival of Cardinal Pole, Waldegrave fell sick. By his will made on 8 Nov he asked to be buried in the graveyard of St. Mary's church there, provided for his wife and children and remembered his mother and other kin. He died on the following 12 Dec, and the will was proved by the executors in Oct 1555 a week before they renounced the administration in favour of the widow. A monument to his memory was placed in Bures church near the tombs of his ancestors and an inscription in the church of St. Mary, Sudbury.

George Waldegrave, Esq. was born circa 1483 probably at Smallbridge, Bures St. Mary, Suffolk, England, the son of Sir William Waldegrave of Smallbridge and his wife, Margery Wentworth.[1]

He married Anne Drury, daughter of Sir Robert Drury, Speaker of the House of Commons, and Anne Calthorpe, circa 1502(?). They had <5> 4 sons(unless one predeceased his father):
?Sir William
?George
?Edward, Esq
?Richard,
and two daughters:
?Anne, wife of Henry Bures, Esq., and of Sir Clement Higham
?Phyllis, wife of Thomas Higham, Esq.[2]

George's father, Sir William, died on 30 June 1527, and George, his mother, and his brother William served as the executors of his will.[1] Half of Sir William's personal goods were bequeathed to his wife with the other half to be divided among Sir William's three legitimate sons. George's mother was the primary heir of most of Sir William's property with George holding reversion rights to those properties. In his own right, George was bequeathed the manors of Smallbridge, Taynes, and Lylsey in Suffolk, all of the lands held by his father in Mohkislligh in that same county as well as the manors of Walgrave, Tylwell and Slypton in Northamptonshire.[3] George also received the manors of Levenya Strattons, Overhall also known as Roper's Manor, and Netherhall, all located in Suffolk, but not mentioned in his father's will.[4]
George Waldegrave became a very wealthy man after his father's will was proved in London on 6 March 1527/1528. However, he enjoyed his wealth only briefly for he died on 8 July 1528.[1] He had prepared a will two days before in which he asked to be buried Church of Bures St. Mary's on the Isle of Jesu beside the grave of his father. He bequeathed all of his lands to his wife, Ann, with reversion rights to his four sons in the order of their birth; all of his sons were under the age of 21 years at the time of the will's preparation.[5]
George was buried at Bures St. Mary, Suffolk. His estate was probated on 25 August 1528.

?Anne Drury
?
?Upon George Waldegrave's death, Anne, the executrix of his will, was left with the manors of Smallbridge, Silvesters, Overhall, and Freps, during the minority of her eldest son, William. T. M. Felgate's, "Suffolk Heraldic Brasses," notes her memorial is unusual because it contains an identical effigy of herself for each husband. He writes, "She wears a French Bonnet with short lappets falling behind, and her high puffed shoulders reflect the haute-pieces on the shoulders of her husbands. Frills encircle her neck and wrists, and a bow-knotted sash girdles her waist, below which the gown divides to show a plain undergarmet. (In one pose) She kneels at a prayer desk with her two daughters (by George Waldegrave) behind her. They are similarly attired, except they have the more simple close-fitting bonnet." Both husbands wear almost identical armour. George Waldegrave's hair is of medium length and he is clean shaven, popular during the Tudor period of his time. Sir Jermyn is shown with the short hair, a moustache and beard of his Elizabethan time. Each appear with their own sons kneeling behind them, all in Elizabethan costumes. Her husbands were not buried with her unless they were removed from their original tombs and brought to Depden. The inscription reads: "Here under lyeth buried the boddy of the Lady Anne Jermyn, widdowe, daughter of Syr Robert Drewry, of Halsted in the Countie of Suff. Knight & Anne his wife, whiche Anne was first married to Geroge Waldegve, of Smallbridge in the saide Countie, Esquier, and after married to Syr Thomas Jermyn, of Rushebrooke, in the said Countie, Knight, and died the viii daye of June, in the yere of oure Lorde God a Thowsand five hundred seventy two." Note it does not say the husbands share her tomb. Children of George Waldegrave and Anne Drury are:
