They were considered Ancient Planters as they arrived in Virginia by 1616. In Andria s will dated 11 February 1619 1620 she bequeathed land to Thomas Harri s 700 acres. Thomas Harris submitted a deposition in General Court that his wife, Andria, died between the census of 1624 and 1626, at the time of his request for land due his wife as being an Ancient Planter. Andria Harris was dead by November 1626 when, on that date,a case of witchcraft was being tri ed in Charles City against a Mrs. Wright. A witness GREYE, swore that the de fendant told Thomas Harris he would bury his first wife, to whom he was then betrothed, at the birth of their first child. This did come to pass at the bi rth of their son, Robert. He was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1623, 1 639 and 1647. The surname Harris is Welsh origin and means literally son of H arry.
