Analized first names against Watagua, NC lines; very similiar first names.
466 Worth Ray, TN Cousins, p. 70 tells about a group of Quakers came over
the mountains from NC about 1790 including ELLIS's. Isaiah is mentioned as
representing the Maryville Branch of Quakers and the Hickory Valley Branch
at an 1822 convention. The Quaker movement was large but of short life, and
stronger around Greeneville. This convention had to do with abolition of
slavery. James Jones was President; Note: on the 1830 census Isaish had 2
slaves.
Research: Children may not be correct. Especially John C. and John K.

Settlers by the Long Grey Trail mentions only Lydia, Nehemiah, Josiah, and
Jeremiah as certain children. SLGT states his wife's name was Catherine -
maiden name unknown. While there may have been other children, he admits to
only Benjamin who was killed by the Indians Oct 1754 during the French and
Indian War and Hester who married Robert Cravens Jr.
Possible he had another wife before Catherine Adams. Tunis Hood Book
states they were md abt 1744, Benjamin would have been 10 years old when he
fought the Indians. Not likely he waited until age 37 to marry either.18

The children of Jeremiah (son of Jeremiah of VA) are listed in the order
of his will. The will of Jeremiah Harrison who raised a large family of 17
known children, 14 of whom were specifically named in his will written 15
Sep 1793. (Lydia, Benjamin and Elizabeth had died by this time). His will
was witnessed by George Green, Jr., William Wallace and Abel Richardson. It
was noted that he signed his Will by his mark and must have either been
blind or too feeble (aged 91 years) to write his name at the time his Will
was written, since in other previous records, both in VA and TN, he signed
his name to legal documents in his own handwriting. We feel pretty certain
that the Tunis Hood reference is more accurate on this family than SLGT at
this time. Many of this line have second names of Adams. Original records
need to be obtained to verify.45

As a refugee from Dublin sailed from Chester or nearby Liverpool, Eng, on
the ship "Spotted Calf" in 1687. Landing frist at Oyster Bay, Long Island,
NY. As was the custom boys of genteel families and younger sons of noble
families were trained to some trade, he was a blacksmith. His full
signature appears on all deeds and papers at Oyster Bay, evidence that he
had been taught to write in his youth.

purchase from the Matenacocke Indians made Jan 9, 1685. Suckscall was an
Indian Chief and his Wigwarm was located at what is now known as Brookville
(Wolver Hollow), Long Island. Isaiah was the first white man to live on the
site. Recorded in Book "B" of the Ancient Town Book of Oyster Bay Jan 2,

"Maiden Plantation". Deeded to sons, Daniel, Thomas, & Jeremiah, 250 acres
each.
Sold May 7, 1736. With the exception of Elizabeth & Gideon (who had
died), He departed for Virginia with a party of sixteen. He arr. in what is
now Alexandria, VA, crossed the Blue Ridge at Thornton's Gap and settled
near Lewes, an early colonial port (oldest light house in America). For two
years they surveyed the area and camped near Linville's Creek where Isaiah
died in 1738. The Harrisons explored the region between the North River
and the South Fork into high lands in the present vicinity of Harrisonburg,
VA, in 1738.
Other early settlers included the Cravens, Smiths, Herrings, and Lincolns.
Paraphased from House of Cravens. 224
Alexander Herring, Senior, and Isaiah Harrison passed away while residing
in Delaware. Both died within the three year period beginning in 1735 and
concluding in 1738. Shortly after their deaths, the migration of their
children to Virginia began. Some of the Harrisons were settled in the
vicinity of what is now Harrisonburg, Virginia in Rockingham County as early
as 1738.
House of Cravens: 5 brothers from Delaware are John, Daniel, Thomas,
Jeremiah and Samuel the first to locate in Rockingham Co, VA. Later Isaiah,
Jr, and Mary, the eldest dau md to Robt Cravens, Sr came. All of Isaiah's
living descendants settled here. Thomas named the present Harrisonburg town.224
A tradition exsist in the descendant families to the effect that Pres. Wm
Henry Harrison and his grandson, Pres. Benj Harrison were descendants of
Isaiah Harrison. No reliable evidence confirming such tradition has been
found. J. Houston Harrison had heard of the same tradition, and devoted
considerable research in that connection, his findings failed to
substantiate the tradition. Those Harrison families were descendants of
Harrisons who settled early in Eastern Virginia, and were known as the James
River branch of Harrisons. It is quite possible, however that there may
have been some distant relationship between them and Rev. Thomas Harrison,
the probable father of Isaiah Harrison.320

Sources21,67 224.
Both Jonathan and Adam Smith owned land adjoining Isaiah Harrison, and it
may be said that Abigail was the daughter of Adam Smtih, and a sister of
Edmund Smith who married Mary Smith. However, as Aabigail was much older
than Mary Smith, she is most probably the daughter of Jonathan Smith and
Sarah Brewster.
Through the relationship of the Smiths and Lawrences, Isaiah Harrison
acquired all of his Smithtown land from the Lawrences. (note Lawrence
Harrison in VA, Draper Manuscripts)
The genealogical accounts of Richard Smith's family, the immigrant, is
fragmentary. Thompson's History of Long Island is far from complete.
However, the Smiths migrated to Augusta Co. VA about the time that Isaiah
Harrison and his wife Abigail Smith, removed from Long Island. 224

32 Thomas HARRISON Rev. - 333. Born 1619 in Kingston-Upon-Hull, Yorkshire,
ENG. Christen 1619 in Angelican, Episcopal. Died 1682 in Dublin, Ireland.
Buried 1682 in Dublin, Ireland. Occupation Minister, Established Church Of
England. Residence Hull,ENG; Jamestown, VA; Ipswich, MA;Chester,ENG;Dublin,
IRE. Sources224,320 67.
Rev Thomas H. came to the early Jamestown, VA settlement about 1640 as
minister of Elizabeth River parish (Anglican, Episcopal). chaplain to
Governor of Berkeley (1645-1652).
Rev Thomas , a native of Kingston-Upon-Hull, England, he was of Yorkshire
parentage, with residence in London, and was descended from the Durham
family of Harrisons, entitled to bear the Yorkshire (London) Arms. He came
from the same family as the line of Alderman and Burgess of the city of
Hull, which was granted a charter by Edward I in 1299. He was an intimate
of the Cromwell family .
Following the second Indian massacre, April 18, 1644, he turned Puritan
himself, and in 1648, after refusing to read the Book of Common Prayer, or
Administer the Sacrements, abondoned his ministrial office.
He removed to New England where he married Dorothy Symonds, daughter of
Samuel Symonds of Ipswich, MA, Deputy Governor of MA, and a native of Great
Zeldham, Essex Co, England. He became an Independent or Congregational
minister of the gospel.
From MA in 1650, Thomas returned with his family to England as minister at
St. Dunstans-in-the-East, London. He then removed to Bromborough Hall,
Warrall, Cheshire, and in 1655, accompanied Henry Cromwell (son of the
Protector) to Ireland.
Upon the Restoration, Rev. Harrison returned to Chester, where he preached
to large congregations in the Cathedral. Following the passing of the "Act
of Uniformity" in 1662, he settled permanently in Dublin, and founded there
a flourishing dissenting church.
With the rise of the Catholic element under James II, there was little
hope for any former followers of Cromwell, or his children. Having been so
closely allied with the Cromwell party, Thomas's fortunes were doubtless
depleted by the time Isaiah came to America.
Rev. Thomas Harrison died in 1682 in Dublin, Ireland - "A midst general
mourning." "He was a complete gentleman", "Much courted for his
conversation." He was the author of several works, among them "Old Jacobs
Account Cast Up." He left a valuable library. His will recorded in 1682,
and other family records was destroyed in the courts' fire of Public Records
office of Ireland in the late rebellion of 1922, 224
Identified by J. Houston Harrison, Settlers By The Long Grey Trail, as the
ancestor of the Rockingham Co Va Harrisons is circumstantial, but a good
case for his findings, thus this author has accepted the results as
reasonably adequate. 320
J. Houston Harrison conducted a thorough research of the origin of the
Harrison families of England and Scotland, see CVii, pp. 77-78. The
Harrisons came into England with the Norse Viking Sea Kings 1016-1035. They
were among the free Danes of whom Kingsley's hero, Hereward the Wake was
one, and the last to withstand William the Conquerer.
Northumberland is the Danish section of England and filled with Harrisons.
The name being of Danish patronymic origin more properly spelled Arysen
(Aertzsen) and common to this day in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.(Richmond,
Va Standard, No. 41, june 12, 1880)320
In 1650 he returned to England and became minister of St.
Dunstans-in-the-East London. He came an intimate of Henry Cromwell and
accompanied him in 1655 to Ireland where he settled permanently in Dublin
After the Restoration and assumption of the English throne by Charles II,
He preached to large congregations in the Cathedral at Chester, England, was
the author of several works of note, and left a valuable library. 67
