Notes - !SOURCE: Helen Schatvet Ullmann and L. Randall Harris, "The Origins of Thomas Harris and William Harris of Providence, Rhode Island," The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 167 (April 2013): 97-99. "Migrated to New England and was in Providence, R.I., by the spring of 1636."
On 6 April 1680, William Harris, captured by pirates enroute to England and enslaved in Barbary, in a letter from "ArJeere" [Algiers] to his wife in R.I., wrote, "Remember my love to all, my Brother and Sister and all my kindered & friends." Thus Ann was apparently living as far as William knew, unless he was referring to his sister Jane.

"It is conjectured, in the absence of positive proof, that Thomas and William Harris, brothers, were born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales." Gives birth 1610, death three days after arriving in London, England, in March 1681.
