Thomas Harris (Serjeant-at-Law)

[2] Sir Thomas Harris was called by his contemporary the Devon historian Tristram Risdon (d. 1640) "a man much commended for his pregnant wit and learning".

[4] Their eldest son Sir Edward Harris moved to Ireland where he became a prominent judge.

He was buried in his local church at Kilcredan in County Cork, but the inscription on his parents' tomb strongly suggests that he was reinterred with them.

They had two other children, Christopher, a soldier who was killed fighting in the Netherlands, and Honor, who married Sir Hugh Harris (not apparently a relative, and evidently a Scotsman).

The Harris family died out in the male line in about 1643, leading to a particularly acrimonious lawsuit between Sir Edward's female heirs, his daughters and daughter-in-law, over the inheritance.
