He is not in my direct line, but is a half-brother to my ancestor, John Harrison. He also had a son Thomas who died in 1800. Harrisonburg is in Rockingham County, which was formed out of Augusta county. The best source for this line of Harrison's is the book, "Settlers By the Long Grey Trail" by J. Houston Harrison, published by C. J. Carrier Company, Harrisonburg, VA., 1983. It was originally published in 1935 by John K. Ruebush Company in Dayton, VA. Page 223 lists some of the people living in Thomas's neighborhood and Isaac Robertson is mentioned.
