Do you know where you Harrisons were in NC? The marriage record for Richard Harrison is Lincoln County, NC; however, I don't find him in the census there. There are a couple of Isaac Robertsons in Haywood County, NC - which would put them near my Harrisons............ From reading the below - my guess would be your Richard and Thomas could be the son of the Thomas Harrison who owned land near Isaac Robertson in Augusta County, VA area. Here is what I found for you: CHRONICLES OF THE Scotch-Irish Settlement IN VIRGINIA EXTRACTED FROM THE ORIGINAL COURT RECORDS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY 1745-1800 AUGUSTA COUNTY COURT RECORDS.

Article LXXVI. "Rockingham parish, Rockingham county, was formed from a part of Augusta in the year 1776. In that portion of Augusta now constituting the county and parish of Rockingham, there were two chapels of the Established Church. One was situated about four miles west of Harrisonburg, near the present village of Dayton. The families of Smith and Harrison, with others of the early settlers in that neighbourhood, were of the Church of England. The other chapel was situated about five miles north of Port Republic, on the road from that place to Harrisonburg. The early settlers on the Shenandoah River near Port Republic were generally of English descent, and belonged to the Established Church. John Madison, (Clerk of Augusta county, the father of Bishop Madison,) Gabriel Jones, (the most distinguished lawyer of his day in the valley,) and Thomas Lewis, (who for many years represented Augusta county in the House of Burgesses, and was one of the earliest advocates of American independence,) had married sisters, (Misses Strother, of Stafford county,) and were among the carliest settlers in that neighbourhood. Peachy R. Gilmer, John Mackall, of Maryland, and others, soon after settled among them. These families were all of the Church of England. The Rev. Alexander Balmaine for several years officiated at these two chapels, and spent much of his time with his parishioners on the Shenandoah. ----------------- North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Bride: Rachel Dawsey Groom: Richard Harrison Bond Date: 13 Feb 1786 County: Lincoln Record #: 01 056 Bondsman: Isaac Robinson Witness: Joseph Steel Bond #: 000072954 Comment: Harison Robertson Bride: Polly Wilson Groom: Isaac Robinson Bond Date: 16 Dec 1797 County: Lincoln Record #: 01 106 Bondsman: James Wilson Witness: John Dickson Bond #: 000075349 Bride: Peggy Harrison Groom: Alfred Sadler Bond Date: 26 Aug 1818 County: Lincoln Record #: 01 109 Bondsman: John Sadler Isa Witness: Henry Conner, Justice of the Peace Bond #: 000075481 Bride: Elizabeth Groom: Alexander Robertson Bond Date: 18 Sep 1797 County: Lincoln Record #: 01 106 Bondsman: Robert Givens Witness: Jo Dickson Bond #: 000075324 Comment: No Surname Bride: Anne Robertson Groom: Robert Heaker Bond Date: 29 Sep 1807 County: Lincoln Record #: 01 058 Bondsman: Herit Hunt Witness: Thos.
