  	182. Harris of Wortham and Pickwell (VII., par. 95, p. 120). ? Since my answer to this query (VII., par. 31, p. 178) I have come across in my notes some further references to this family. They were a branch of Harris of Hayne. John Harris married April 10th, 1673, at Georgeham, Dorothy Hancock ? their son William Harris, bap. Oct. 27, 1678, married Honor, d. of Arscott Bickford, at Bradford, 12 Feb.» 1699. Pickwell came to Harris from the Newcourts; the connection, I think, was from marriage of Toby Newcourt with Mary Harris and of John Newcourt and Marie Harris on Jan. 23, 1615, and there was also a relationship of both Harris and Newcourt with Hext. The Newcourts were also connected with the Arundels ? so the manor of Godrevy may also have come to Harris through the Newcourts. Wm. Newcourt devised all his property to John Harris of Wortham, 20 June, 1666. J. F. Chanter. via https://archive.org/stream/devoncornwallnot07amer/devoncornwallnot07amer_djvu.txt
  Age at Marriage	He : ~ 33 years and 4 months - She : ~ 23 years and 4 months.
