| Notes |
- The burial entry of 1791 doesn't distinguish which William Harris was buried. So, it is impossible to determine if this is the correct William Harris, or if it was William Harris the grandson who had been baptised in Lifton on 9 Sep 1787.
==========================================================================
In medieval times Lifton, as a Royal Manor, was in the gift of the Sovereign and it was held for its revenues by a member of the royal family or a court favourite. It changed hands many times, very few of the owners ever coming to visit Lifton. However Charles I did spend a night in the village in 1644 during the civil war. By this time Lifton was no longer a Royal Manor. The estate had been sold by Queen Elizabeth I to a local landowner, William Harris of Hayne. The Harris of Hayne estate was vast with thousands of acres in other counties as well as in Devon. The Harris family were linked by marriage to several Royalist families in Cornwall, including the Arundells and by 1755 the Arundells had inherited the Manor of Lifton.
