A Problematic Patriarch: Jonathan Harris
In this thought-provoking work, Dr Moore delves into the remarkable life of Jonathan Harris, a convict and transportee, who not only survived the challenges of his time but also contracted three marriages and sired 17 children.
The lives of these children varied greatly, each carving their own unique path in the world. Many of them went on to have large families, and countless Australians today can likely trace their ancestry back to Harris.
Dr Moore’s work not only traces Harris’s life but also provides brief sketches of the lives of all 17 of his sons and daughters, making him the patriarch of a vast Australian family.
