Harriot, gradu A.B. Universitatis Oxoniensis accepto, Americam anno 1585 profectus est, particeps expeditionis ad insulam Roanoke a Domino Gualterius Raleigh Equite emissae, Radulpho Lane Equite duce. Harriot expeditionis fuit particeps magni momenti quia lingua Algonquiana Carolina uti potuit, ab Wanchese et Manteo Americanis Nativis doctus. Angliam reditus, pro Henrico Percy, nono comite Northumbriae, laboravit; cum in domu comitis habitaret, mathematicus et astronomus fecundus factus est, cui doctrina refractionis lucis tribuitur.
