I suspect your HARRISONs may be connected to Theodorick BLAND .. a
descendant of Pocahontas... m. Mary Brooke HARRISON ... there are a number
of HARRISON marriages in this line. They are not all in the Repository as I
have just not had time to add all of them. What do you know about Emma? I
don't see her in "Pocahontas Descendants" (lots of BLANDs in there) but
suspect she connects to them. Finding her will help you find George. Other
names associated with this line are RANDOLPH, POYTHRESS, EPES, BOLLING.
Ring any bells?
