JOHN5 HARRIS (Thomas4, Thomas3) was born in Ipswich January 7, 1651/2. He married Grace Searle, daughter of William and Grace Searle of Ipswich, January 8, 1685. He took part in the expedition against Quebec in 1690, which is doubtless the origin of his military title. Returning to Ipswich he settled down to the life of a yeoman. In 1693 John Harris, husbandman, William Harris, smith, and Ebenezer Harris, husbandman, sold land apparently inherited from their father, and in the acknowledgment clause of the deed John Harris is referred to as "Serjt John Harris," which proves his identity. He died November 21, 1732, leaving a will dated August 23, 1728, which was proved December 18, 1732. To his wife Grace went all of the household goods and the use of the whole estate during her widowhood, with the exception of the parlor-chamber which was to be occupied by his daughter Martha so long as she remained unmarried. On his wife's death the estate was to be divided equally among his children, except that his son John was to have �5 in addition "and allso my Great Bible," probably that which he had in turn inherited from his grandmother Lake. His wife was named executrix, to be succeeded by his son John. The widow Grace Harris died June 10, 1742, in Ipswich. After their mother's death, her six sons, all men of middle age, deeded their parents' homestead to John Harris, Jr., of Ipswich, the oldest grandson, on December 22, 1742, describing it as the house, barn and homestead of John Harris late of Ipswich, deceased, containing about one acre: that portion on the east side of the road bounded by William Harris and Thomas Hovey; the other part on the south side of the road bounded by John Dennis and Hezekiah Hodgkins. On the same date his brothers conveyed to William Harris, Jr., three-quarters of two lots at Plum Island, and all six sold five acres on Town hill to Nathaniel Foster. In these instruments John, Thomas, William and Richard were described as of Ipswich, Samuel of Rowley and Daniel of Preston, Conn. Children 1686-1705: John, Thomas, William, Samuel, Martha, Daniel, Richard.
