PART 4 - William Harris in Virginia.
(Most of the historical information in this section can bepulled from
various sources on the history of Jamestown as well as from thebiography
of William Claiborne.)

The "George", with Claiborne and Harris reached Jamestown inOctober
without any problem. The "Tyger", with Phipps and Morris wasblown off
course and chased by pirates and ended up two months late.Also on board
the "George" were Sir Francis Wyatt, the new Governor, and Dr.John
Potts, the new physician. Normally, upon reaching Jamestown,all new
settlers were housed in the "Block House." Claiborne, however,was
invited to live with Governor Wyatt, while William Harris livedwith Dr.
Potts in the house provided to him. We might assume Phipps andMorris
received the same privilege. This is important because later,we see a
few instances of land deals involving Potts, Harris, andPhipps. It was
Dr. Potts who patented the large piece of property behindArcher's Hope
that he called "Harrop". Much of the interior part of thisparcel was
later sectioned off to become the "Middle Plantation" which weknow
eventually became Williamsburg. More on that later.

Initially, the surveyors worked on laying off a new town forJamestown.
Jamestown was not really an island at the time and the locationof the
new town was on the "back of the island" where the neck of theJamestown
peninsula attached to the mainland. Also located at this pointon the
mainland was the "Glass House" where the colonists had a glassblowing
operation until 1624. The Glass House was located about wherethe
Jamestown Festival Park is located today. Again, this willbecome
important later in land deals involving William Harris.

Eventually, the surveyors began to branch out and do work inother
locations, going as far up the James River as Henricus andacross the Bay
to the recent Eastern Shore settlements. They traveledeverywhere by
water, with Claiborne being supplied with a small sloop.Claiborne
became particularly interested in exploring farther up theChesapeake
Bay. He was very ambitious and wanted to establish settlementsfor the
production of tobacco in various locations. By 1626, Claibornehad
established active plantations at Kecoughtan, Archer's Hope,and Blount
Point on the lower Peninsula and also over on the EasternShore.
Kecoughtan (Hampton, Va.), being the more centralized location,became
Claiborne's home base of operations.

The initial expansion away from Jamestown was thwarted somewhatby the
massacre of 1622. The surviving colonists, who had begun tospread out
to individual land parcels, tended to pull back temporarilyinto the
original settlements for protection. You can readily see thisin the
muster of 1623. We find William Harris listed among the namesof those
at Elizabeth City, the new name for the Kecoughtan settlement.That was
one of the few places that had not been attacked in themassacre of 1622.
Also listed at Elizabeth City were the names Alice Harris andElinor
Harris. Since many of the newer computer files listing themuster
records alphabetize the names, it makes it appear that therewas some
association between these three Harris people. When you vieworiginal
listings, however, you will see the three are named in separate
locations. In the same listing, other known families alwaysappear
together. Harris was a very common name, and the fact that thethree
were not listed together makes me believe there was noconnection between
them. I did pursue records on these two women but foundnothing that
would make me change my opinion at this point in time.

William Harris was located at Elizabeth City because he wasacting as
overseer for William Claiborne's plantation at Kecoughtan. TheVirginia
Company was dissolved in 1625 and another new leadership groupwas
established with Virginia as a royal colony. Claiborne hadfriends in
high places and was named to the Council of Virginia at age 24and
appointed Secretary of State at age 26. He had already begunto become
involved with the exploration of the upper Chesapeake Bay allthe way to
what is now Pennsylvania. While William Claiborne was involvedwith his
explorations and the official affairs of his position, WilliamHarris
managed Claiborne's plantation affairs on the Peninsula. Alsolocated at
Elizabeth City at this time was Anthony Burrows and John Laydonwho had
married Burrow's sister Anne in the first marriage in Virginia.John
Laydon had come to Jamestown in 1607 with the very firstvoyage. The
local official in the Elizabeth City area was Capt. RaleighCroshaw who
had come to Virginia in 1608 on the second supply. Croshaw had
accompanied Claiborne on his explorations and, with just a fewmen, had
successfully defended a remote trading outpost up on thePotomac River in
the 1622 attack. Burrows, Laydon, and the Croshaw family wouldall have
future involvement with William Harris and his family.

In 1624, the expansion into other areas of the lower VirginiaPeninsula
began to occur. To understand the migration patterns of thenext two
generations of this Harris family, even in such a small area,one needs
to understand a little about the geography of the VirginiaPeninsula.
The whole center section of the Peninsula running almost up to
Williamsburg was one big cypress swamp back in the early 1600s.The
swamp was the headwaters of the Back Bay and Poquoson River.The only
high land was along the banks of the James and York Rivers,which
consisted of sediment deposits washed down by ancient floods.The
Chiskiak Indians (under Powhatan) lived along the banks of theYork
River. The colonists lived along the banks of the James River.The
swamp in the middle was as impassable as a river. In fact, itwas more
impassable because, you could at least float across a river.To get from
one side of the Peninsula to the other, one had to go up theriver to
near Williamsburg before crossing over and coming down theother side.
This fact allowed the colonists and the Indians to co-exist onopposite
sides of the Peninsula until almost 1635.

In part, for carrying out his duties as Surveyor, Claibornereceived a
grant of 250 acres at Archer's Hope just below Jamestown in Dec1625. In
May 1626 he received an additional grant of 500 acres nearBlount Point
on the neck of land between the Warwick River and Deep Creek.At about
the same time William Harris received a grant at Blount Pointin
partnership with Anthony Burrows (see Leyden, Nugent I pg11).The
location of this parcel was inland from the main river,directly across
Deep Creek from the William Claiborne patent and adjacent toJohn Laydon.
Deep Creek could be entered by large sailing vessels so thiseffectively
gave Claiborne, Harris, Burrows and Laydon control of the creekas the
only deep water harbor in that area. William Harris patentedtwo
additional parcels at Blount Point in 1628 on the main river(Nugent I
pg12). While Claiborne's grant was permanent, the grants forWilliam
Harris, Burrows and Laydon were all ten year leases payablewith annual
amounts of tobacco. This indicates the land was for tobaccoplanting
only, and there was no intention of residing there. It isalmost certain
that William Harris returned at this time to reside atJamestown while
managing all of the various properties along the river fromJamestown to
Blount Point for himself and Claiborne. He would reside atJamestown for
the rest of his life. In 1636, at the expiration of theleases, John
Laydon permanently re-patented all of the above parcels atBlount Point
(Nugent I pg38), although he continued to live at ElizabethCity as
William Claiborne's neighbor. Laydon apparently retained theBlount
Point properties until his death around 1650 (see Hall, NugentI pg396).

There are a couple of things significant about the partnership
arrangement with Anthony Burrows. Burrows was older, born inLondon in
1581 (IGI P001531). His age was stated to be 44 in the musterof 1625.
He had been in Virginia since 1614 and had apparently broughthis family
with him. He had a brother named James and that was also thename of his
only son born in 1607. His daughter was named Ellen and shewas born in
1599 in London (all the same IGI record). Although there isnever any
direct statement, it later appears that James Harris ofYorktown is the
son of William Harris. Since James Harris first begins toappear in the
York County court records in 1647, he would have to be theoldest son of
William Harris and would have to have been born around 1625.This all
leads me to believe that William Harris had married, mostlikely to Ellen
Burrows, the daughter of Anthony Burrows and had named hisfirst son
James, after (or perhaps in honor of) Ellen Burrows' brother.William
Harris being married to Anthony Burrows' daughter and JohnLaydon to
Burrows' sister would account for the land relationship betweenthe three
at Blount Point in the 1620s and 1630s.

Claiborne made his first return voyage to England in the fallof 1630.
He would return to Virginia in the May of 1631. The purpose ofthe visit
was to secure financing for his Kent Island venture in theupper
Chesapeake and to recruit settlers. There are records thatcould be
interpreted to show that William Harris accompanied him toEngland. Two
patents by neighbors of Claiborne almost 40 years later containthe list
of headright claims that resulted from the return voyage toVirginia (see
Talbott & Downes, 1667, Nugent II pg27 and Goodrich, 1672,Nugent II
pg116). Claiborne never used these claims and assigned them toothers at
some point. We know they were from the 1631 voyage because ofa number
of the names on the list, in particularly that of WilliamDawson. Both
Claiborne and Lord Baltimore laid claim to Kent Island,resulting in a 20
year dispute that Claiborne eventually lost. On 23 April 1635,a ship
belonging to Lord Baltimore fired on one of Claiborne's ships,killing
three men including William Dawson. Ironically, Dawson'sheadright claim
wasn't used until almost 40 years after his death. WilliamHarris, who
in 1667 had died a decade earlier, was the first name on thelist behind
Claiborne's, followed by John Phipps and William Morris. Doesthis mean
they all made the voyage, or is it just an example of theflagrant abuse
of the headright system that was common at that time? I nowtend to
interpret this as being the latter. It just doesn't make sensethat
William Harris would go back to England with Claiborne. IfClaiborne was
going to be gone for nine months, he would need William Harristo remain
in Virginia to manage the plantations on the Peninsula.

Whether William Harris accompanied Claiborne or not, Claiborneapparently
made a visit to Willingale Doe, perhaps to consort withNathaniel Butler
who was trying to establish a settlement of his own onProvidence Island
in the Bahamas. For whatever reason, Claiborne was introducedto the
household of John Butler at Little Burch Hall. It was herethat he met
the 21 year old Elizabeth Butler. He also met her olderbrothers, John
and Thomas. John Butler was the same age as Claiborne, born 7Dec 1600
in Roxwell Parish (IGI C042551). Thomas Butler was slightlyyounger and
in 1625 had married Joan Mount-Stephen of Stepney, who was thewidow of a
personal friend of Claiborne's brother Thomas Claiborne. WhenClaiborne
returned to Virginia in May 1631 he was accompanied by his ownbrother,
Thomas Claiborne and his wife Jane, as well as by Thomas Butlerand his
wife Joan. Both families would be among the first settlers onKent
Island. Thomas Butler would eventually return to England, butin 1635,
John Butler and his entire family came to Virginia. JohnButler brought
with him his younger sister Elizabeth, now 25. ElizabethButler and
William Claiborne were married at the plantation at Kecoughtanwhere they
continued to live for a number of years. Capt. John Butlerbecame the
primary official at the Kent Island settlement for Claiborne.He died in
1642 but left a number of sons on Kent Island. While this mayall seem
irrelevant to William Harris, it will soon become apparent howit all
ties in.
