    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jhh.2ACIB/4783.1 Message Board Post: I'm not familiar with the town you mentioned. Our immigrants came from Rillington, Yorkshire. It doesnn't look far from Leeds. They thought they were connected to the John Harrison that made the chronometer. He was born in .1693, and died in 1776. They name his father, one son (not the one that fought to get the money). He lived in the southern region of England, and was a watch maker. It's possible everyone thinks they are related to him. Our family went to Nova Scotia in 1774, but there are Harrison families that immigrated much earlier to the US.Harri
