Individual Events and Attributes

  • Birth:

  • 1658 (est)

  • Cornwall

  •

  •  

  • There are four possible dates for the burial of John Harris within the age of 100. These give an age at death of 45, 54, 71 and 80 respectively. Without further information it is impossible to determine which the correct entry is. However, the first date has been selected for no better reason than the fact that his wife Susanna was buried on 23 Jun 1706. One of the two later entries may be that of his son John.

Marriage

  • Spouse:

  • Susanna (1660?-1706)

  • Children:

  • Susanna Harris (bap.1682)

  •  

  • Philip Harris (bap.1686, d.1766)

  •  

  • John Harris (bap.1688)

  • Marriage:

  • 1680 (est) (age 21-22)

  • Cornwall3

  •  

  • No record could be found of the marriage so it is not possible to determine the date and place, or of Susanna's surname. Without Susanna's surname it is nor possible to find her baptism and her parents' names.However, as the baptism of what was probably their eldest child, Susanna, took place in 1682 they were probably married about 1680 almost certainly in Cornwall.
