HARRISON HERITAGE
December 1985
Dear Friends,
What is there about genealogy that fascinates some of us and sends others "running
for cover"? When the subject comes up at a dinner party, the genealogists
would rather talk than eat, the long-suffering friends devote their full attention
to the food before them. I suspect everybody has a desire to know more about
those who made us what we are; our physical appearance and habits, our customs
and attitudes. It is just that some of us have learned the art of research and
have the patience to read, write letters and ponder the puzzle. Some of us are
able to retain endless numbers, names, dates and places ...while others seek
pastimes that are less demanding.
It would be devastating if everyone had the same desire to study genealogy.
There wouldn�t be room in the libraries or the courthouses for all of us. Besides
it is kind of nice to realize that we are part of a minority that will unravel
the hopelessly mixed up records of the past two or three hundred years. I am
pleased to be part of this group and I know you are also; otherwise there would
be no HARRISON HERITAGE.
As we start a new year, let�s declare our intent to continue the research.
Let�s help bring our families to life and let�s be sure that we document our
research. Our family and friends will be proud that we have recorded our findings
for posterity.
See you in March 1986
Until then, have a very
MERRY CHIRSTMAS

to the oath of fidelity, and the same year Richard, Jr. Thomas Harrison gave
his assent April 4, 1654, having been a resident some years. It is all but proven
that Richard, Sen., was the father of Richard, Jr., and Thomas, who were brothers,
as John Harrison of Branford, bachelor, son of Richard, Jr. who removed to

Newark, N.J. in May 1666, mentioned in his will his father, Richard, and his
Uncle Thomas. If this Richard was the witness in the following document and
brother of the Elizabeth mentioned, as is altogether probable, Thomas was the
son of Richard Harrison, Sen.; he had a sister, Elizabeth Lyne, and the family
came to New Haven from West Kerby, Cheshire, England; "1668 June 18. Certificate
that Hopestill Lyne, 6 to 7 year old, daughter of Henry Lyne of New Haven in

Thomas Harrison married, 1st, at New Haven in 1656, Ellen, the widow
of John Thompson, Sen., whose estate was inventoried Feb. 5, 1655-56. She was
