1. William Harrison, First Harrison ? , son of Unknown and Unknown , died before 1681.

General Notes: Early Virginia Immigrants:
William Harrison 1638, imported by Richard Bennett, Isle of Wight Co;
William Harrison 1638, imported by George Mynifie (merchant);
William Harrison 1656, imported by George Abbott, Nansemond Co.;
William Harrison 1650, imported by Mr. James Williamson;
William Harrison 1649, imported by John Merriman;
William Harrison 1650, imported by Wingfield Webb and Richard Pate.

Between the years of 1658 and 1713, four generations of men named William Harrison lived in Charles City County and then Prince George County. During the years 1667-1673, abstracts of surviving records mention a William Harrison Senior and a William Harrison Junior. After 1673, there are records for the same Harrisons but the designations senior and junior have disappeared.

The first William Harrison probably died after 1673 and before 1681. He is identified as the father of Elizabeth Harrison and is presumed to have been the father of the brothers William and James Harrison. In 1662, in Charles City County, William Harrison was taxed for one tithable which means that in 1662, William had no son who had reached the age of 16. In 1667, William Harrison, Jr. was granted a land patent, which is taken to mean that he was then 21 years old, or close to it. If William Harrison Jr. was a son of William Harrison, Sr. it seems that the younger man must have been born in 1646 or 1647

The above information came from the booklet, "Harrison Families in 17th Century Virginia, a primer by James E. Harrison, CS7.H322 1994a.

General Notes:
This compilation of material owes a great deal to those Harrison family researchers, Lindsay Britton in particular, who have shared their efforts to define the generations of this particular Harrison Clan. This then is a collection encompassing fact, documentation, primary records, and family tradition which seeks to preserve the history of this extraordinary family. (Patrick M. Harrison)

THE HARRISON NAME

According to some sources, the name Harrison is of Danish extraction (Aryson), which is indicated by the use of the syllable "son" as an ending for the name. This was a custom of the Danes and names ending in "son" have been in constant use in England ever since the Danish invasion. "Of all the ancient families of the Colony of Virginia that of Harrison, if not the oldest, is one of the oldest. The name has been distinguished for patriotism, intelligence and moral worth of those who have borne it." The traditional homes in England for the Harrisons are Oxford, Northampton, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. In 1972, there were 111,950 adult Harrisons in the United States - the 200 most numerous name. Referencing other sources under Harrison Family, we find that Harrison can mean "Hunter of Hares."

The Harrison name is also found in Scotland. Harrison means son of Harry (from Henry through the intermediate form Hanry). We know that Sir Laurence Harryson or Herryson, a native of Scotland, had letters of denization in England 1497 (Bain,IV, 1623, 1629). James Harryson, Scottish man, was author of An Exhortation to the Scottes to conforme themselfes to the honorable, expedient, & godly Vnion betweene the two realmes of Englande & Scotland, published in London, 1547. Magnus Harison in Gillisbrfek, parish of Lunnasting, 1613 (Shetland). Those from Fife would be a "Sept" (component branch family) of Clan MacDuff.

The Scotch records show that in the 1600 an Anglican English family settled in Bush Mills, Dunluth Parish, County Antrim. Later, the records show that 6 Harrison families came to early America from Ireland as "Scotch-Irish" - four from County Antrim 1 in 1744 settled o' the East Fork of Cook's Creek, Augusta Co., Virginia; 1 in 1775 settled in Guilford Co., North Carolina; 1 in 1800 in Georges, Fayette Co., Pennsylvania; 1 in 1871 at the Mission Road Church, Johnson Co., Ks. One Harrison Family or individual from County Down in 1778 settled in Hogan's Creek, Caswell Co., N.C. 1 from County Armagh in 1811 settled on the Permision River, New Madrid Co., Missouri. All of these settlers were Protestants.

Harrison is also found in Ireland, especially in Dublin and Counties Antrim and Down in Ulster. Most are incomers from England in the 1600s, or from Scotland. The name is particularly concentrated near Donaghcloney, Dromore Parish, County Down and they would be Protestants. Some Gaelic Irish named "Harrihy," "(O)(Mac)Henry" or "Horohoe" have changed their names to "Harrison," and they would be Catholic. Some of these Gaelic Irish families trace their legendary genealogies back through the kings and heroes to the Milesian invaders from Spain (1000-800 BC) who fought for the island with magical Tuatha De Danaan and the firbolg (the Picts), and who before that were in Scythia, Greece and Egypt.

Supposedly, this William Harrison Senior was one of the first two Burgesses elected when Prince George was formed in 1702

DISCLAIMER: Entries for the years 1658-1686 in the chronology offered below came largely from the work of Beverly Fleet, with a few additions marked Nugent and Hopkins. Entries for the period 1688-1713, came from the work of Dr. Weisiger, except an entry marked Nugent (James E. Harrison booklet, Sources: Ayres, Fleet, Haun, Hopkins, Nugent, Weisiger).
There is no attempt to attach each of these entries to William Harrison Senior or to his father. The entries are presented merely to provide information on those citizens named William Harrison who occupied this area during this period. It is difficult, if not almost impossible, to know whether there was another William Harrison in this area who cannot be clearly identified! (PMH)

Reference to "Colledge Land": In the Sussex County Land Tax Books for the year 1803, there is a alteration from Wm. & Mary College with the notation, "100 acres to Wm. Harrison, Senr. William Harrison, for the previous years, paid tax on 146 acres and this year paid tax on 246 acres. William Harrison Jr. paid tax on 100 acres.

1804: In the tax records for 1804, William Harrison Senr. disappears and Mary Harrison is shown paying tax on 146 acres. William Harrison Jr., is still paying tax on 100 acres and Henry Harrison appears, paying tax on 100 acres (is this the "Colledge Land"?)

1806: In the 1806 tax records, William Harrison, Jr. disappears, only Mary and Henry are shown.

1807: In the 1807 tax records, Mary and Henry are still paying tax and William Jr. appears, paying tax on only 18 acres.

1808: In the 1808 tax records, Mary is deceased and disappears, Henry is paying tax on 100 acres and William Jr. is paying tax on 18 acres. There also appears a notation for another William Harrison Jr. and he is paying tax on 100 acres and an additonal 130 acres.

1810: In the 1810 tax records, Henry is paying tax on 100 acres and William Jr. is paying tax on 18 acres. The other notation now says William Harrison "Sr." instead of Jr. and he is paying tax on 100, 130 and 235 acres.

1811: In the 1811 tax records, Henry is now paying tax on 50 and 85-1/2 acres. William Jr. is paying tax on the 18 acres and William Harrison has either a B.L. or R.L. after his name and is paying tax on 100, 130, 150 acres. This last William passed away ca. 1811 but I do not understand the notation after his name.

1812: In the 1812 tax records, Henry is paying tax on 50 and 85 acres. William Jr. is paying tax on 10 acres. Rebecca Harrison now appears (William's wife is named Rebecca) and she is paying taxes on 100, 130 and 150 acres.

There is no indication that John Harrison ever received his college land and I cannot find a record of a payment to him for the land in the deed books of Sussex County. His name does not appear in the deed books or land tax records for Sussex County.

General Notes: Prince George County, Va., Deeds & Wills, 1787-1792, p. 438: Will of Benjamin Harrison of the Parish of Martins Brandon, County of Prince George, dated the 9th day of November, 1789 and proved on December 14, 1790. To nephew, John Harrison, my Manor plantation lying on Powells Creek and negroes, Tom, Dolly, Fanny, Bumford, Billy, Archy. To nephew, Thomas Harrison, Jr., six negroes, Will, Beck, Jenny, Elizb., and Amy. To my niece Elizb. Stainback, two negroes, Frank and Sarah, upon the following condition, that is as my said niece is expected to marry my nephew, William Fann, and if the said Fann shall hereafter claim a mare and colt now in my possession after marrying the said Elizabeth, my will and desire is the said negroes shall be delivered to my nephew, James William Harrison, to him and his heirs forever.

1806: Sussex County Chancery Suit, 1806-1817. Harrison's Executor, etc. v. Harrison's Executor, et als. Bill of Complaint transcribed by Gary M. Williams, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Sussex County.

The crucial document in a chancery proceeding is the pleading, called the bill of complaint. This is the instrument which identified the heirs of a descendent and the nature of their kinship. The above named suit was filed in the old Sussex County Court in January, 1806 by William Harrison (who was the executor and son of William Harrison who died testate in Sussex County in 1804) and which suit was dismissed in the said court in Marcy, 1817. The bill in this suit is particularly significant in that it identifies the daughters of one Richard Harrison of Prince George County, who, although he left a will (dated 27 March, 1781, and probated 11 October, 1791) which is among the scant surviving pre-1865 records of that county, it is a will which named only his wife, Rebecca, and seven sons: William, Alexander, Shadrack, Theodorick, Charles, Ishmael and Peyton. The bill filed in this suit provides considerable genealogical data on his daughters and their descendants.
The essential pleading of William Harrison argued that Alexander Harrison, his father's brother and co-executor of the estate of his grandfather, had failed to administer that estate properly. The will, which left specific devisals of real estate to the testator's sons, called for a division of the residue, which included all of Richard Harrison's heirs-at-law.
There were six daughters of this Richard Harrison and three of them living in 1806: Ann Hobbs, Mary Hartwell, and Eliza Bailey, the last named of whom married Richard Bailey, according to the bill of complaint. The report of the master commissioner in chancery filed amont the papers of the suit identifies Nathaniel Hobbs as Ann's husband and Paul Hartwell as Mary's Husband. The three deceased daughters were Mason Avriss (who married John Avriss, according to the master commissioner's report), Joanna Gary and Eve Clark (who married John Clark, who died testate in Sussex County in or about 1778).
The bill identifies Mason Avriss' three children: William Avriss; Lucy, who married John Carsley; and Rebecca, who married William Duell. The record also shows that Joanna Gary had seven children: her sons, William Gary, Richard Gary, John Gary, Ben Gary and James Gary; and her two daughters, Nancy Underhill (who married Howell Underhill, according to a 1784 marriage record in Sussex) and Didyme Cotton.
Estate records in Sussex prove that Didyme Cotton (also spelled as "Diadamia") married Harris Cotton, who died intestate around 1796, and that she subsequently married Richard Cook in 1787. Her children are shown in the bill to have been Richard Cotton, Frederick Cotton and Betsy Cook (who married John Cook, according to Sussex marriage records, in 1802). Four children of Eve Clark are named: Thomas Clark, Richard Clark, Littleberry Clark and Betsy Hobbs (who, as Elizabeth Clark of Sussex in 1789, married Isham Hobbs.)
(DOCUMENT): To the worshipful court of Sussex County, sitting in Chancery - - Humbly complaining sheweth unto your worships, your orator William Harrison, executor of William Harrison, deceased, that Richard Harrison, formerly of Prince George County, father of your orator's testator, departed this life after having made his last will and testament, of which an attested copy is hereto annexed as part of this bill, in which after disposing of his lands, he directs that all the rest of his estate shall be equally divided amongst all his former and latter children, and whatsoever any of his children had received before from him is to return to his estate in order to an equal distribution; only with the reserve that his sons Ishmael and Charles were to have one thousand pounds each for their deficiency in the value of lands. These thousand pounds the testator evidently intended to be paper money liable now to the scale of depreciation , as his will is dated In March of the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty-one. Of this will the said Richard appointed your orator's testator and Alexander Harrison the executors, who both qualified as such. That at the sale of the said Richard's personal estate, many of the legatees purchased more than their proportions - - some of whose bonds your orator as the representative of his testator still holds. One of them, however, Theodoric, got possession of his bond under a promise to pay a debt due John P. Cocke of thirteen pounds, out of it - - and to account for the surplus of it. But he has never done the one or the other. Owing to the circumstances, the dispersed situation of the legatees and the death of some of them, your orator finds it impossible to settle his testator's executorial account of his transactions on the said (Richard Harr)ison's estate without the aid of this court. Your orator will further (state he) has cause to fear that the said Alexander Harrison mismanaged and (not invested) a part of his testator's assets. But he is advised that his testator (is) not answerable to legatees for the waste or misconduct of the said Alexander and therefore he is extremely solicitous that an account be taken of the acts and responsibility tof each executor. To the end therefore that the said Alexander Harrison, and that Theodorick, Ishmael, Shadrach, and Charles Harrison, brothers of your orator's testator, Ann Hobbs, Mary Hartwell and Richard Bailey and Eliza, his wife, which said Ann, Mary and Eliza are sisters of that testator, William Gary, Richard Gary, John Gary, Ben Gary and James Gary, sons of Joanna Gary, deceased, who was also a sister of that testator, Nancy Underhill, a daughter of the said Joanna, Richard Cotton, Frederic Cotton, John Cook and Betsy, his wife which said Richard, Frederic and Betsy are children of Didyme Cotton, afterwards Didyme Cook, deceased, who was also a daughter of said Joanna, Thomas Clarke, Richard Clark, Littleberry Clark and Betsy Hobbs, children of Eve Clark, another of that said testator's sisters now deceased, William Avriss, John Kearsley (Carsley) and Lucy, his wife, and William Duell and Rebecca, his wife, which said William, Luvy and Rebecca are children of Mason Avriss, deceased, another sister of that testator, may on their respective oaths full true and perfect answers make to the premises. That your worships may direct your commissioner to ascertain and report how far the said Alexander Harrison hath exclusively acted in the management of his testator's affairs and may decree that as far as he has acted exclusively therein, the estate of your orator's testator may be shielded from all responsibility; and that the same commissioner may take to state an account between the other defendants - - how much some of them are indebted to, and how much others of them are crditors of the said estate of Richard Harrison, deceased - - that the creditors among them may be decreed to look for compensation in the first place to the bonds of the debtors, whose bonds (or what may be found due thereon) your orator has ready to assign or distribute as to your worships may seem proper - - and may secondly look for compensation to the said Alexander Harrison so far as he may be found delinquent - - and may thirdly look to the estate of your orator's testator only for any surplus that my afterwards remain unsatisfied - - and that your worships may grant to your orator such other and further relief in the premises as equity may dictate. May it please, etc. (George Keith) Taylor for complainant

Williams, Clerk of the aforesaid Court, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a faithful transcription of the bill of complaint filed with the Clerk of the old County Court in January 1806 in the chancery cause of Harrison's Executor, etc. v.

The defendants Alexander Harrison, Ishmael Harrison, Charles Harrison, Thomas Clark, Richard Clarke, Littleberry Clarke, Betsy Hobbs, Nancy Underhill, Frederick Cotton & John Cook and Betsy, his wife on whom the decree nisi has been served having failed to file their answer, the bill of the complaint as to them is taken as confess'd & therefore their cause came in to be heard on the bill of the complaintant & answers of the defendants Wm.

Booth DC
Report #1817-52: Agreeably to a decree of the Worshipful Court of Sussex Co. bearing date the 9th day of September 1809 Ordering that your Commissioner should ascertain and report to your honourable body how far Alex Harrison one of the exors of Richard Harrison dec'd had exclusively acted in the settlement of the said estate & how far Wm. Harrison the other executor, exclusively acted in the said settlement, and to state an account between the other defendants (in the said decree mentioned) setting forth how much some of them are indebeted to and others of them are creditors of the estate of R. Harrison dec'd, etc. -- Your Commissioner has examined all the papers that has come
come to his hands, possession, or knowledge touching the said estate & from the best documents that he had been able to procure it appears that Richard Harrison of Prince George Co., left a will at his death which was dated the 27th day of March, 1781, and the said will was admitted to proof at PG October Court 1781 & the said will after giving some specific legacies to his wife during her natural life & dividing his lands amongst his sons directed that all the rest of his property should be equally divided among his former & latter children (except L1000 each which was to be given to his sons Ishmael & Charles for their deficiency of lands) & it appears that his sons Wm & Alex the exors in the said will named proceeded to sell the personal estate of the said Richard Harrison on the 17th day of November 1781 on a credit of 12 mos which sale appears to have amounted ot L687.8.1. And further at that time or some other (for the paper showing it has not date) to make a division of part of the negroes belonging to the said estate, 12 of them xxx were valued at L895 which made the average sum to each legatee amount to L74.11.8 & upon the decison some were taken as is usual in divisioning of that sort. And the said Wm & Alex appearing to have proceeded to pay the debts due from the said estate from the time of the sale to the year 1792, the latter end of this year all the debts appear to have been paid (except a small one of three pounds 3/ to a witness in a suit which was paid in the year 1799) And on the 1st day of Jan 1793, the executor Wm had paid the sum of L693.1.5 1/4 & the executor Alex had paid the sum of L107.3.4 3/4 which said sums after allowing interest on the amount of sales from the 17th day of Nov 1782 the time it became due to the 1st day of Jan 1793 & Int on the payments made by the two exors to that day (agreeable to a stated account rendered) left a balance due the exors of L68.6.9 from the sales of the personal estate, etc. And on the 1st day of Jany 1792 there was a sale of six negroes belonging to the said estate who sold for L332.15.0 which became due the first day of Jan 1793 & after taking the balance due the exors therefore left a balance for distribution among the legatees of L264.8.3 which divided among the legatees made the sum of L22.0.8 1/2 due each of them. And upon a settlement of all accounts due to & from the estate to each of the parties in their division of negroes and the purchases made at the sale by some of them and money paid some of them at sundry times by the exors each acct both Dr and Cr stands between them as below stated to the 1st day of May 1810:
Theodorick Harrison Dr to the estate L23.1.11 1/2
John Gary and Joanna his wife do L75.12.1 1/2
Richard Bailey & Elizabeth his wife do L186.14.11 1/2 & L285.9.9 1/2

due Eliz Clarke from the estate L2.8.3. 1/2
due Wm Harrison from do L22.16.6
due Alexander Harrison from do L48.12.8
due Ishmael Harrison from do L57.19.7
due Shadrack Harrison from do L15.17.3 1/2
due Charles Harrison from do L18.5.8
due Paul Hartwell & Mary his wife from do L45.17.4 1/2
due Nath. Hobbs & Ann his wife from do L26.0.10 1/2
due John Averiss & Mason his wife fro do L47.11.8 1/2 & L185.9.9 1/2

By which statement it appears that three of the distributees are owing the others of them the sum of L285.9.9 1/2 and it is stated to me that some of the distributees became purchasers of some of the negroes that were sold the 1st of Jan 1792 and due the 1st of Jan 1793 for which I have seen no accounts of any money that has been paid and have not made an account of it in the aforesaid statement. And perhaps it might have been considered as a payment of their legacies aforesaid but there is no proof thereof exhibited to me. It is stated to me that at the aforesaid sale Charles Harrison purchased Betty & child for L79.1.0, Alexander Harrison purchased Violet for L25 & old Will for L7 Nath Hobbs purchased Billy for L40.12.0 & Theodoric Harrison purchased Bob for L90.12.0 for which perhaps the bond became due which it is stated in the bill in Chancery, Theodorick got possession of from Alexander Harrison in consideration of paying a small debt due to John P. Cocke. This all the information your Commissioner has been able to collect respecting the settlement of the estate. In the examination of the papers exhibited your Commissioner has found a number of accounts which were among the papers of Richard Harrison dec'd against sundry people and were sworn to by the exors as found among his papers & still stand uncollected to the amount of (after being sealed by the seale of depreciation) L1140.3.5 1/2 but most of them appear to be of an old date that is from the date 1752 to 1781 the year in which Mr. Harrison died. and there is some papers exhibited among them shewing that some of them have been denied by the persons charged with them stating that they had paid Mr. Harrison in his lifetime the full amount. As to the legacies left in the will to Ishmael Harrison and Charles Harrison of L1,000 each to make up their deficiency in lands I find a receipt given by Richard Bailey who is stated to be the guardian of Ishmael for L1,000 current money to William & Alex Harrison exors of Richard Harrison dec'd dated the 7th day of Jan 1782 witnessed by Theodoric Harrison. And also one other receipt given by Alexander Harrison guardian of Charles Harrison to Wm. Harrison one of the exors of Richard for L1,000 which is expressed to be the money left Charles by his father's will aforesaid and is dated the 1st day of Jan 1788 & witnessed by John H. Briggs and John Mason. Benj. B. Rosser MC, Sussex, May 2, 1810

To the worshipful court of Sussex County in sitting, humbly complaining, shows to you your orator John Harrison of Sussex County that William Harrison, late of Sussex County, father of your orator, some considerable time before his death, made his will and directed the writer of it, a most respectable gentleman to bequeath to your orator sundry negroes but from haste or forgetfulness the bequest was omitted to be inserted in the will. that some short time afterwards, the said William Harrison discovering the mistake, instead of altering the will, determined to execute a deed of gift to your orator for the same negroes. That accordingly a deed of gift was executed conveying to your orator a negro woman Lucy and her child and her and their future increase. That this deed was [de]posited in the desk of the gentleman who wrote the will but has since been lost or misplaced so that our orator cannot exhibit it at this time before the court, but he will be able to prove the contents of it distinctly and clearly. Your orator here [esc]hews to the court, that he is a most unfortunate human being. That his natural infirmities are so great and deplorable as to cut him off from most of the enjoyments of life and to prevent him from procuring the means of livelihood by [his own] exertions. That this, his delicate and lamentable condition, melted the heart of his father with pity and tender
---- induced him to execute this deed of gift for [ben]efit of our orator. That your orator [fre]quently applied to William Harrison, exor ---- William Harrison of the said William Harrison [no]w deceased and demanded of him the said negro woman and her chidren, under the aforesaid deed of gift. But now so it is may it please the court, the said Wiliam Harrison exor --- as aforesaid who is prayed to be made a [defe]ndant to this bill of complaint has refus[ed] [to] deliver the aforesaid negroes to your orator on various frivolous pretenses. In tender --- whereof and in as much as your orator is remedie[d] the premises, save in a court of equity where fraud is enquired into, and lost deeds are carried --- effect, to the end therefore that your worships --- compell the said William Harrison to answer the foregoing allegations fully and truly and more especially set forth and say whether the father of your orator did not direct the writer of this will to bequeath Lucy and her children or some negroes to your orator and whether that bequest was not omitted through mistake. --- further state, whether a deed of gift was not afterwards made for the said wom[an] Lucy and her children and their increase and whether that deed of gift has not since is lost or mislaid. That he --- that are the names of the children of said Lucy and if she has had --- . May it please the court to decree that aforesaid negroes be delivered to your orator and that the deed of gift which as been lost or misplaced may be reestablished. May it please the court the premises considered to grant to your orator such other and further refief as may be consistent with equity or justice [as the ] case may require. May it please the court the premises --- to grant the commonwealth writ of supeona directed

To the worshipful court of Sussex County in chancery sitting the answer of Rebecca Harrison executrix of William Harrison deceased who was executor of William Harrison deceased to the bill of complaint exhibited in this worshipful court by John Harrison against the said William Harrison executor of the said William Harrison deceased and served against her by seine facias. This respondent saving and reserving to herself every benefit of exception whatsoever to the said bill of complaint for answer thereto saith that William Harrison father of the complainant died in the County of Sussex on the ---- day of ---- in the year ----- having a last will and testament an attested copy of which is hereunto annexed and to which your worships are referred as a part of this answer. That it is totally immaterial whether directions were given or not to the writer of the said will to bequeath the negro woman Lucy and her children in the bill mentioned to the complainant because such bequest not appearing upon the face of the will cannot now be supplied by evidence. This resppondant from the best information she has been able to obtain feels authorized to deny the allegation in the complaint bill that a deed of gift was executed to the complainant by the said William Harrison, his father for the said negro woman Lucy and her children and her and their future increase and therefore requires of the said complainant full, ample and disinterested proof thereof. On the contrary, this respondant will here state to the court that the said negro woman Lucy and her children were sold at public sale by her deceased husband, the said William Harrison, executor of the said William Harrison, the complainants father under the residuary clause in his will, made a part of this answer - that her said husband became the purchaser of the said negro woman Lucy and her youngest child named Nathan and that a certain Frederick Cotton became the purchaser of her children Al and Bob, sometimes called Robertson - that her said husband after the said sale was possessed of the said Lucy and Nathan fully or more than five years before the institution of this suit, claiming and holding them as his own absolute property and she is inexpressibly astonished at the unjust and unrightous claim which is [now --- up to them] by the complainant. This responsent will further state to the court in answer to that part of the bill relating to the increase of the said negro woman Lucy that the said Lucy since she was sold as above mentioned, Lucy had several children but that she has only two living (except those above ;mentioned) to wit, Stephen and Chloe. Having answered [---------------] combination [----] this despondent prays to be hence dismissed with her facts in this behalf most unjustly compended (signed) Rebeca Harrison

In obaience to the Commison hereto --- directive to us we have this day at the house of Shepherd Davis by consent of parties taken the deposition of John R. Mason of lawful age in a suit now depending in the county court of Sussex between John Harrison complainant and Rebecca Harrison executrix for William Harrison dec'd defendant who being duly sworn deposeth and saith: that eight or ten years before the death of William Harrison senr. this deponent was [ask for] by said William Harrison senr. and was present when Pleasant Hunnicutt wrote his will in which he gave a negro woman Lucy and her future increase to his son John Harrison. Subsequent to which period this deponent states that the said William made another will in which there is no mention made of the above named negroes and this deponent further states that about the year eighteen hundred and one or two he was at the house of Pleasant Hunnicutt and was shown a paper (which was taken out of a drawer at said Hunnicutt's) by William Harrison Jr. who asked him what it was and that he replied if it had been signed by William Harrison Senr. and witnessed (which it was not) it would have been a deed of gift to his son John for the above named negro Lucy and her increase.

And this deponent further states that a short time before the sale of the estate of William Harrison senr. , William Harrison Jr. came came to his house and shewed him a copy of the last will of Wm. Harrison Senr. in which the above named negroes were omitted and asked this deonent what he should do with them, who ----- to sell them ---- that the said William Harrison Junr. then told this deponent that he and the other legatees believing it to have been the intention of their father to give them to his brother John had agreed to let him have them. And this deponent further states that a day or two before the sale he was at the house where William Harrison Senr. died in the company of Henry Harrison one of the legatees, who said he was poor and would not give up his right in the said negroes in consequence of which the negroes were sold with the other property. This deponent further states that he was at the sale of the said negroes and bid for them, after which William Harrison Junr. who became the purchaser bid for them, when this deponent asked him if he wanted the negroes for himself, who replied that as the legatees had ---- to let John Harrison have them which he believed to have been the intention of his father, he was determined to buy them and let his brother John have the use of them during his life if he would settle, but that he did not wish that to prevent the sale of them in consequence of these expressions. This deponent bid no more otherwise he would have given more for them. Question by the plaintiff: Did William Harrison address these observations to you or did he speak them loudly and publicly. Answer, they were addressed to me and he spoke them in the common tone of voice. Question by the plaintiff: Did you understand when the negroes were cried out that they were for John Harrison. Answer, I did understand that William Harrison bought them for himself but that John Harrison should have them for his life time if he would settle.

In obedience to the annexed commission to us directed we have this day at the house of Shepherd Davis by consent of the parties taken the deposition of Pleasant Hunnicutt of lawful age in a suit now depending in the county court of Sussex between John Harrison complainant and Rebecca Harrison executrix of William Harrison decd. defendant who being duly sworn deposeth and saith.
That this deponant wrote the last will & testament of Wm. Harrison Sen. Dec'd. that the said Wm. Dec'd directed this deponant to devise unto his son John Harrison one negro woman Lucy with her child or children and all her future increase, but from turning over the leaf of papers he entirely omitted bequeathing the said Lucy child or children and increase to the said John, that the said will remained in possession of this deponant until after the death of the testator, & further this deponant saith some years after the writing the will of said Harrison (during the time this deponant acted as Sheriff of this county) the said Wm. Harrison came early one morning to this deponants house and informed him that he had got Glaister Hunnicutt to write a deed of gift from said Wm.

102. Collier H. Harrison (Shadrack⁵, Richard⁴, William Junior³, William Senior², William Harrison, First¹) was born circa 1780-1790 and died circa 1842, at age 62.

General Notes: Information on this family was provided by Lindsay Britton from William F. Cuff Falls Church, VA.

A resident listed as Collier Harrison does not appear in the tax lists until 1812, when Collier H. is listed; however, Colin H. Harrison is taxed in 1810 and 1811, the latter year with roughly the same property as Collier H. Harrison as the following year. In 1813, Collier and Collier H. both appear. Subsequent lists have Collin alternating with Collier, and they appear to be variants of the same name. There is a Colin Harrison but his identity is unknown. Carter B. Harrison, who died ca. 1835 had a son Collier who was perhaps born somewhere between 1825 and 1835 (Lindsey Britton). Both collier H. and Collier Harrison are listed in the personal property tax lists.

There is evidence to suggest that he was Shadrack's oldest son: 1) Personal property Tax records for Prince George indicate that he was living in the household of Shadrack Harrison in 1810, the year before he first appeared on the list (1811). 2) In 1803, he inherited the estate of David Hobbs (Prince George Land Tax). 3) Collier's son David left his estate to kinsman David A. Harrison, grandson of Alexander Harrison. 4) There is a family traditon that he was closely related.

General Notes: Notes provided by Lindsay Britton: Mr. Harrison was a very prominent citizen of Prince George Co., when I was a child, he was a lumberman and farmer. His farm was between Newville and Disputanta. He raised various crops, and cattle, sheep and hogs.
He was very generous, he gave the lumber, at cost, to build Newville Church which is recorded in Newville Church History. He gave a new buggy to Mr. Duberry, who was the pastor of Prince George Charge, also helped those who were in need. He sent my mother a leg of lamb when she was sick, and told my father to get all the ice he needed from his ice house.
He had a railway from his saw mill to Fort Powhatan Wharf on the James River. The track crossed my father's farm. I walked the track to school. It was made entirely of lumber, rails and all. The engine was powered by steam from a wood-burning engine, the weight of the engine cracked the wooden ties and caused them to splinter. They were replaced often. The man who repaired the track was cross-eyed and was often tipsy. I was afraid of him so I went around him some distance as I walked to school.
Mr. Harrison was Mrs. Henrietta Britton's brother. Mr. Harrison's wife was Miss Eddie Tatum, sister of Agnew Tatum who married my great uncle John Baugh of Spring Grove, Surry Co., Va. I was taught to call her cousin Eddie, but she was no blood kin, only by marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison had a son David, his son or grandsons live in Hopewell. Mrs. Britton married Ruffin first, had two children Mary and Charlie, then 2 Britton children named James and John. I knew them when they were boys at Brandon Church. They pumped the old hand pumped organ while Mrs. Britton played for services. There is a beautiful window in the church in her memory. She was one of the first public school teachers in Prince George Co., also taught music. She wore a bonnet with ornaments on it. I wanted to get old enough to wear one like hers. James G. Harrison had a brother named Tom, and I think Bob Harrison was his brother, but I am not sure. Bob had 2 sons, Percy and Rob. My Aunt Bettie Adams took Rob and kept him several years after his Mother died. (Lucy Adams Connelly, written Oct 7, 1980, at age 97, she is mistaken about Bob Harrison being Jimmie G's brother.)
