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 ..
