Tom Harriss was an American Indian man of an unknown tribal origin. He likely lived in Pasquotank Precinct, North Carolina, indicating he may have descended from the Yeopim, the major tribe in that area. In 1700 Harriss purchased a pig from Thomas Barecock, an English colonist who lived nearby. When the pig escaped, colonists Mathew Winn and Thomas Barecock helped him recover the animal. No further information about this individual has been located.
