Notes:

Name:
At age 18, William was apprenticed as a needle-maker to Thomas Wilson of the Drapers' Company in Eastcheap, London, for seven years beginning 22 Oct. 1628; his future father-in-law John Hyde was a member of that company. William emigrated to New England and was in Providence, R.I., by the spring of 1636. He may have known Roger Williams in Salem, Mass., as he was among the small group who accompanied Roger Williams to the Providence area by that spring. Through the remaining years in R.I., William Harris and roger Williams had an antagonistic relationship. John Garrett calls him "the quarrelsome William Harris" and adds, "When the Quakers came to Rhode Island in the mid-1650's Harris took up with their cause." As an old man, Roger Williams actually wrote, "W. harris, who, being an impudent morris-dancer in Kent...under a cloak of separation, got in with myself, till his self-ends and restless strife, and at last his atheistical denying of heaven and hell, made honest souls to fly from him. Now he courts the Baptists; then he kicks them off and flatters the Foxians; then the drunkards (which he calls all that are not of the former two amongst us); then knowing the prejudices of the other Colonies against us, he dares to abuse his Majesty and Council, to bring New England upon us."

William married Susan HYDE about 1634. Susan was christened on 20 Mar 1609/10 in St. Mary Aldermanbury, london; died after 6 Dec 1681. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
