Another brother, John Harwood, paid taxes on 750 acres in Warwick County in 1704 and received a government subsidy for "taking up Jack an Indian boy" a decade later.
John Harwood may be the mariner who sailed between Virginia, New England and London, including on the Sea Nymph that docked on the York River in 1739.
[3] This William Harwood paid taxes on 625 acres in Warwick County in 1704, and in 1717 used a power of attorney from his London-based scrivener cousin, Needler Webb.
Within a decade, his son William Jr. continued the family's planter and political traditions by winning election (and multiple re-elections) to the House of Burgesses (as well as to all the Virginia Revolutionary conventions), becoming the longest-serving of all the men of that name.
He also established Endview Plantation, now a historic house museum and park operated by the city of Newport News, which greatly expanded and absorbed Warwick County in the 1950s.
