Notes:

To Noel J. Harris Robertson > You definitely have thhe 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 \Herrys\, 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 court indicate him either as Knight or Sir

Notes:

IT IS NOT PROVEN THAT ARTHUR AND JOHN ARE BROTHERS AT THIS TIME (19 AUG 2000)

Arthur married Joanna (Johanna) Percy about 1497 in Essex, England. Joanna (daughter of Thomas Percy, 1st Baron Egremont and Eleanor Harbottle) was born about 1460; died in 1538/1540 in Hadley, Staffordshire, England; was buried in St Mary Church, Prittlewell, Essex, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

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??

Alnwick Castle, Alnwick, Northumberland, England
