Notes:
"The Ancestry of Bethia Harris 1748-1833 Wife of Dudley Wildes"
has a section on this William. It says he first married 1568-11-21 Katherine Kiche.
It says his will, dated 1598-10-01, was proved by his widow and executrix, Agnes Harris. After directing that he be buried in the church or churchyard of Hatherup, he left £5 apiece to his sons William (eldest), Anthony, and John, £12 to his son-in-law John Iles, and a cow to Joan Iles, daughter of his son-in-law, to be given her when she became seven years old. He then devised the residue of his property to "Annis Harris my late wife but if it please God to change the mind of Annis Harris my late wife and Join herself in marriage and so alter the name, then my 2 youngest sons: Thomas Harris, Edmund, William, and Robert Harris shall have one half of my Goods." Henry Mason of Cheltenham and John Iles of Hatherup were named overseers.
