Sir William Harris (1556–1616) was an English knight, land owner, and a notable incorporator in the third Virginia Company of London. This Harris family appears to have originated some 40 to 50 miles east-north-east of London and on the north bank of the River Crouch. The village of Cricksea (or Creeksea) exists today on this peninsula in Essex County. Creeksea is located about 2 miles west of Burnham-on-the -Crouch and about 18 miles inland from the North Sea. Anciently Called "Danes Island", this area was inhabitted largely by Norman families after the conquest 1066. Sir William Harris was knighted on 23 July 1603 at Whitehall on the eve of the coronation of James I.〔Brown, Alexander (1890), The Genesis of the United States, New York, NY: Houghton Mifflin & Co.〕 His elevation to the knighthood was the result of military service in Ireland during the Nine Years' War (Ireland) along with his cousin Sir William Harris of Shenfield, Essex.〔Burke, Sir Bernard (1864), Royal Descents and Pedigrees of Founders’ Kin, London: Harrison〕 ==Family life== William Harris was born 21 Sep 1556 in Essex.〔Pam and Joe Stone, 2905 Pembrooke Rd.,Titusville, FL 32796.
