"Lists of Immigrants to America," John Camden Hotten (1890), p. 203, lists Thomas Harris, age 38 arriving on the ship Prosperous. He is listed in the muster taken Jan-Feb. 1624/25. Adria Harris, age 23 arriving on the ship Marmaduke in 1621.
Thomas Harris, of Henrico, gave his age as 38 in 1625, which age coincides with the age of Thomas, the son of Sir William. He was a Burgess in 1622, which shows he was a fairly prominent man in the early days. His family evidently ranked with the country gentry of England, as Capt. Paulet, brother of the Marquis of Winchester, was godfather for his son, (William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 4, p. 153), and his daughter married Col. Thomas Ligon, a relative of Sir William Berkeley.
Thomas Harris signed his name, "Herris" and "Harries," very similar to the"Herris" of Essex (Journals House of Burgesses). His first son was named "William," and this would indicate that his father's name was "William" as he names his second son "Thomas."

In the 1910, she is listed as Jamie M. married 12 years. The age is off a little also but I'm guessing she may have told a white lie about her age..... :>) If she was called Jamie then the census taker could have been confused as to which was her first name. SLM
