 I  have been trying  to   find  the possible burial of   DOROTHY  HARRIS   - NEE BASSANO
the  second wife  of THOMAS  HARRIS -- as there is a bit of evidence he went  to    Virginia    and that there was a third wife  there. .


BUT UNPROVEN -- i want to   first  prove   if this second wife   Dorothy HARRIS- NEE BASSANO  -actually  did die  in England or not . 

To give a little back ground as there was soooooooooooooo many HARRIS same name   birth  years of cousins etc -----and many joined this kin ship   type system and went to USA

Thomas HARRIS  --- Father    was  Sir William HARRIS
 Mother--- Lady Alice Smythe --- were very much involved in the third  charter of the Virginia  Company----  but   from England they never went  ..

Their Son  Sgt  John went abt 1626   ish  with wife Dorhty Lymbrey Calcott

But this THOMAS   HARRIS b-1636  i speak of here ---  was in fact   a grand son of their   other son Arthur  and is   VERY    VERY  frequently mixed up  with his cousin same name and birth year in Virgina  who descended from Sgt John HARRIS  i  mentioned . 

THEY are   frequently  mixed up  with each other .

--------

So my guy  is

Thomas HARRIS  born 8 Sept 1636 Chevening Kent
Father-    JOHN HARRIS ( NOT SGT JOHN )
Mother Frances DUCRE  -- this was her  * second marriage  she had Thomas b 1636  in .

His  FIRST MARRIAGE  marriage
HANNAH COULTMAN 13-1-1658 New FIsh St PArish St Margarite-- or --St Stephen Walbrook London
Possibly a daughter named HANNAH born ----she  ws under the care of her brother john as parents were dead .

HIS  **SECOND *****MARRIAGE
DOROTHY BASSANO  28 -2  1862 LONDON - BASSANO well known Italian  Musician family  in the Kings court .
POSSIBLY   - 4 -    CHILDREN BORN TO THEM.
DOROTHY 1663 ST MARY LE STRAND
JOHN 23--4 -- 1664 ST LEONARD  EASTCHEAP LONDON
 ANN  12-3-1667 ST ANDREW HOLBORN MIDDLESEX
THOMAS  9 - 5- 1669   ST MARY  -   WALTHAMSTOW ESSEX ---

DOROTHY WAS MENTIONED IN HER BROTHER  JOHN  BASSANO WILL IN 1671 ---

 THERE IS A   FAIT BIT OF SPECULATION--    BUT  I SEE NO PROOF --  THAT THIS THOMAS HAS REMARRIED IN USA --

  SO THATS WHY I AM  TRYING TO SEE IF   THERE IS ANY   PROOF DOROTHY BASSANO HARRIS    DID   DIED IN ENGLAND ..

The very last time i have JOHN LEE  was here  on Oct  22-1832   in Sydney  Goal  when he was being sent to  District 7 
but have no   idea where that  is  in NSW

He has just had another 50 lashes .
He has had a few 50 's  in Newcastle
And one  of 100 lashes

Sorry i cant help with a link.

He was JOHN     LEE
Born about 1804  London
Convicted at the Old Bailey 
Arrived 1819 on the Grenada
Was a constant  re offender  and  was sent  to Newcastle
Eventually was in Frazers lane in Sydney  for a short while
Newspaper   has him stealing   a boat  off  Billy Blue
Emus off someone else in Syd
Was in and out of Sydney  jail until  i lose him   for good   about 1831-  being whipped  again .
He was  whipped   50  times  on  a number of   times   and  100 lashes and was part of the tobacco  stealing  off the  Speedwell  .


I have never found his fate after 1831 -  but    have seen a few records for possibles in Asylums that need to be checked . 

Thank you   every one .
