  • Notes 
    • Christopher Harris (1737–1775) of Hayne, son and heir, who married Penelope Elizabeth Donnithorne (1742–1809), a daughter of Rev Isaac Donnithorne of St Agnes, Cornwall. He died leaving no sons, only two daughters who became co-heiresses to Hayne: Penelope Harris (1772–1860) who died unmarried and Elizabeth Harris (1773–1855), who married her relative Isaac Donnithorne (died 1848), son of Nicholas Donnithorne of St Agnes, Cornwall. His other estates of Lifton and Kenegie in Gulval, Cornwall, were inherited by his nephew William Arundell (1730–1792) (who adopted the surname "Arundell-Harris"). The latter's grandson William Arundell-Harris (1794–1865), Sheriff of Cornwall in 1817, built a grand new house at Lifton called Lifton Park, much in the same Gothic revival style as the new Hayne House. However, he got into debt and sold his new house to his son-in-law Henry Blagrove.[10]
