Thomas Harris, Jr. (1638-1687) md Ann Martin; was father of Edward Harris

Thomas appears not to have moved to Isle of Wight until after his father's
death in 1672. His father bequeathed him one-half of the land on which he
lived and requested he live upon it, and also 280 acres which he bought of
"the Indian town." Thomas Harris received a grant in Isle of Wight of 183
acres in 1685 (Book 7, p. 441). His will was made March 14, 1687. It was
recorded Oct. 7, 1688 (Will Book 2, Part 2, p.285) . He was sick and weak,
and it was signed with his mark. Edward, his eldest son, was married, but
appeared to be living with his father. He said in his will Robert Harris was
to live with John Fulgham three years, his son George was to live with John
Turner four years, Martinto remain with his brother Edward Harris six
years, son William to live with Bridgman Joyner seven years, daughter Ann
to live with Mrs. Ann Sharpe seven years if Mrs. Sharpe shall live so long,
Edward, executor, overseer Mr. John Fulgham and Rr. John Turner.

Note: The Meherrin River is along today's N. C. border directly south of Richmond, VA

John Turner was the father-in-law ie:Mary Turner's father

George Harris (brother of Edward) was to live with John Turner from 1687 by will of Thomas Harris, Jr.
See above information.

At this time don't know who the Thomas Atkinson witness was.

The John Harris witness was undoubtedly his brother (1665-1764). md Mary Drew
