Hello HARRISON Hunters:
Shawn's query about Cuthbert HARRISON causes me to wonder if there
would be a relationship to:
Richard HARRISON of South Cave, Yorkshire (now Humberside), England:
The Rev., The Hon. Henry FAIRFAX (2nd son of the 4th Lord)
----> m. Anne HARRISON, d/o Richard Harrison, of
South Cave (The Thomas Arundell Society)
d. 1708
High sheriff of Yorkshire in 1691
|
v
Hon. William Fairfax, Gov. of the Bahama Islands (Arundell
Society)
bapt. 30 Oct 1691 - Newton Kyme Parish, Yorkshire, England
("An Account of the Parish of Newton Kyme, In the County of
York" by William D. Bruce)
m. 27 March 1723 - Providence Island, The Bahamas - to
Sarah Walker, d/o Maj. Thomas WALKER, Chief Justice
of The Bahamas Islands (The Thomas Arundell Society)
Sarah Walker - d. 18 Jan. 1731 in Salem, Mass. (Vol.
18, P. 211 of W&M Quarterly)
|
v
Sarah Fairfax (2nd daughter of Hon. William FAIRFAX)
b. 1728 - Salem, Mass.
d. 22 Jan. 1761 - Alexandria, VA (W&M Quarterly)
m. 1748 - (Col.) John CARLYLE, of Alexandria VA. -
(W&M, Ser. I, v. 18, P.209) b. 6 Feb. 1720 - Scotland
d. Oct. 1780 - Alexandria, VA
Founding Town Trustee of Alexandria
Will dated 12 July 1780
(p. 212 W&M, V. 18)
*************************************************************
Awhile back, there was info on this list about another Richard who
was in New Haven by 1644 & died 25 Oct. 1653.
|
v
Maria HARRISON = Thomas PIERSON, Sr., the brother of Rev. Abraham
PIERSON.
What's intriguing to me is that my husband - through the 1836
marriage of Mary Virginia HERBERT to (Commodore) Thomas Triplett
HUNTER (W&MQ, Ser. I, v. 18, # 4, P.279) - is descended from Richard
HARRISON, of South Cave, Yorkshire and at least a couple of Thomas
Pierson/PEARSONs! Thomas Pierson/PEARSON, the immigrant, came
from Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire.
Should anyone recognize any connections, I'm all ears!
