I have spent some time gathering information on the Harris family from
Prittlewell that are claimed to be ancestors of Capt. Thomas Harris and his
brother John Harris of VA as I hope to one day connect my Harris's to that
family in some way. I keep finding the wife of Arthur Harris of Prittlewell
(c.1475-after 1537) as Johanna/Joan Percy descendant of Henry Algernon
Percy, but the dates make this seem impossible.

The estimated birth date I have seen for Johanna/Joan Percy is c.1525 but
Arthur Harris's brith estimate is c.1475 (a 50 year age difference!)

The birth date of her claimed father Sir Thomas Percy (1497-Jun 2, 1537) is
a generation younger than Arthur's birth date when they should be close to
the same age.

The estimated marriage year I have seen for Arthur and Johanna is Before
1520 (she wasn't even born yet!).

I can think of a few possible answers to this problem:

1) Arthur Harris's wife is a different Johanna/Joan Percy who should be from
about the same generation as Henry Algernon Percy. Where would she fit into
the Percy family?

2) The estimated birth years for the members of the Harris family are too
early and need to be adjusted. What are some more accurate dates? What are
the earliest recorded dates for events in the lives of these Harris's?

I have also seen a couple messages on the archives of the Gen-Medieval list
saying that Capt. Thomas Harris could not be son of William Harris of Crixse
and thus not descended from Arthur Harris and Johanna/Joan Percy at all.
Does anyone know the details?

This is the most weird thread I have seen in this group for some time. A reply to a post 15 years after it was made, followed by a garbled reply two years later, corrected a few minutes after that claiming that John Percy was the son of a raspberry.
