    1. [HARRISON] Petersburg, VA - Harrison Family
    2. Carol Shrader
    3. I am searching for information on a Harrison woman from Petersburg, VA who married Neil Little, probably in the vicinity of 1790. He was a widower with two children who may not have been from Petersburg prior to this marriage. Ms. Harrison and Neil Little had two children: Jennet & Margaret before he died (in Petersburg). Jennet left Petersburg at age 12. She was raised by a wealthy Harrison uncle, who had a large family and was an Episcopalian. I don't know his name or where he lived. Jennet eventually married North Carolina Presbyterian minister Malcom McNair. Rev. McNair sent to Petersburg for his mother-in-law (Mrs. Unknown Harrison Little) after his marriage. She died in NC about 1823-1824. Jennet's sister Margaret married a Surles. Does anyone recognize this family? Can anyone help by filling in any of the missing information?
