Posted on: Harrison Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Harrison/895 Surname: Harrison, Terry, Hopkins, McDowell, Peden, Stennis ------------------------- My Harrisons are from Yorkshire England also. My direct line is John Harrison b1768. He sailed to Charleston South Carolina by way of Antrim Ireland in 1790 on the Chichester. His family in England was neighbors with the Terry family. Thomas Terry married the sister of John Harrison. I have turned up the names Nancy, Rebecca and Elizabeth all refering to the Harrison sister who married Thomas Terry. She died in route from Charleston to Greenville Co SC. Thomas and John married two McDowell sisters from Charleston who were born in Antrim. The daughter of Thomas Terry married Solomon Hopkins Jr. Solomon's father was from England also and married Margaret Harrison the isiter of my John Harrison. These families remained interwoven for years and also became a big part of the Peden and Stennis/Stenhouse families. I find it interesting that another Harrison family settled in Virginia in the 1600s. They seem to be somewhat involved with a Hopkins and a Terry family and all had ties to Antrim. My Harrisons were not here early enough to fight with the American colonist against the British but every family the married into and associated with in the late 1700s were Patriots. My Harrisons lived on the East side of the Reedy River in southern Greenville County SC. The Cripple Creek Harrisons lived on the West side of the Reedy River. They lived about 2 miles from eachother near Harrison Bridge Road. I am looking for ties. Thanks Harold
