Thomas Calvert Alias Harrison was born before 1718 in Virginia. He died in 1754.

Abstract: 1739 Prince William County, Thomas Calvert alias Harrison and his wife Sarah transferred to John Carr all my right and title of that track or parcel containing two hundred acres on the north side of Quanticott Creek and Run, it being the land that Burr Harrison, deceased, left between George Calvert alias Harrison, Burr Calvert alias Harrison and Thomas Calvert alias Harrison. The sale deed was signed with the name Harris, not Harrison.

For him to be able to sell property he had to have been at least 21 and he had already acquired Burr's share of their father's estate. So birth dates must have been before 1718. Prince William Deed Book L-195 1749. Frances Watts to Thomas Calvert alias Harrison, lease for lives of Thomas C. al. H, wife Sarah, and son William 130 acres part of 266 a. on S side of Bull Run.

Widow Sarah submitted the will of "Thomas Colvert" to the Prince William court and gave a bond co-signed by John Colvert for her administration of the estate. Her last known transaction was in 1757, when as "Sarah Harrison Calvert" she was paid 300 pounds tobacco...

"Mary Foster Davis owned certain lands in Fauquier which would pass to her children at her death."

BIOGRAPHY: Child of JOSHUA DAVIS and MARY FOSTER is:

i. ELIZABETH4 DAVIS24, m. (1) THOMAS FLETCHER24; m. (2) WILLIAM HARRIS24, Abt. 177725. (Note by Bobbi: In actuality, Elizabeth married William Harris in 1777 and Thomas Fletcher in 1789.)

BIOGRAPHY: Notes for ELIZABETH DAVIS:

Source:History of Dawson-Davis Family and Related Families of Fairfax and Prince William Counties, Virginia, Copyright 1984, by Leslie Davis Dawson.

BIOGRAPHY: Pages 162-3

"Elizabeth was raised by her grandfather Robert Foster and after his death in 1768 by her uncle William Davis.William Harris who was living in lower Prince William in 1777 near the Stafford line was summoned to take part in the Revolution.He suggested to Elizabeth that if she would hire a substitute to serve for him in the Revolution he would marry her. She agreed to this proposal and they were married at the home of her uncle William Davis near Brentsville.Shortly thereafter on August 2, 1777 Harris entered into an agreement to sell Elizabeth's land to William Carr."

"Also in 1793 Elizabeth married Captain Thomas Fletcher (but no mention is made of any of them getting a divorce as in those days divorce only could be obtained by acts of the Legislature)."

"Harris died in 1822, and a dispute then rose over the ownership of the lands in Fauquier which Elizabeth acquired after her mother's death. A lawsuit was started over the matter in Fauquier County, but the case was later transferred to Culpeper County by the Judge in Fauquier who was disqualified from acting because of some personal interest int the matter. Our ancestor, Hugh Davis, then age 72, and Elizabeth Foster, daughter of James Foster, son of Robert, both appeared as witnesses in 1831 in support of the claim of Elizabeth (3 Kentucky Genealogist, page 60). Hugh Davis testified that he and Elizabeth had been raised together in his father's home after the death of her father and mother Joshua and Mary Foster Davis, and that he had seen Elizabeth in Kentucky when he moved there after the War.William Melton who was a neighbor of the Davises and Fosters also testified (Culpeper County Land Causes No. 2, page 79).In an 1860 map the land involved in this lawsuit was shown as "Davis" land (Library of Congress Map No. 1255)."

"After the war Harris moved to Kentucky, pretended to be a War hero and called himself Major William Harrison. His wife Elizabeth later joined him but he soon deserted her and married at different dates two other women." (Note by Bobbi: He married Margaret Peggy Miller in Lincoln County, KY on May 25, 1786 and he married Isabella McDougle in Hardin County, KY on November 14, 1811.)

This William unless married to someone previously to Elizabeth in 1777 could not be the father of Jesse Harris of Buncombe born 1760-1770.
