William Harris (colonist)
William Harris (1757–1812) was a farmer, soldier, and member of the Pennsylvania legislature. He was the father of two other American military men.
==Early life==
William Harris was born October 7, 1757, on his parents' farm in Willistown Township in the Province of Pennsylvania.〔Joseph S. Harris, 1903, p. 21.〕 His father, Thomas Harris (1722–1799), had immigrated from Ireland about 1745.〔Joseph S. Harris, 1903, p. 20.〕 His mother, the former Elizabeth Bailey (1726–1799), also an immigrant from Ireland, was the heir of her childless uncle, Alexander Bailey, owner of the farm.〔Joseph S. Harris, 1903, pp. 20-21.〕 About 1760, the family moved to nearby Grubb's mill, and about 1768, they moved to neighboring East Whiteland Township in the Great Valley of Pennsylvania where, in 1770, Thomas Harris bought a farm just inside the Welsh Tract.〔 This farm was William Harris' home for the rest of his life.
Thomas and Elizabeth Harris had nine children, seven of whom—two sons and five daughters—lived to adulthood.〔Joseph S. Harris, 1903, p. 27.〕 Both sons, William and his older brother John (1753–1838), participated in the American Revolution.〔Joseph S. Harris, 1903, p. 22.〕
