I know very little about teh Bucks Co. Harrisons or the New Jersey Harrisons or NY or New England, but I noticce that they share many f the same names as of the Harrisons of "Settlers By the Long Grey Trail" by J. Houston Hartrison. In that book Isaiah Harrison came to Oyster BAy, Long Island New York in the 1600's and later moved to Delaware and then Augusta Co. VA. The author rtells of other Harrisons in the New York and Connecticut area while Isaian was there and figures they were somehow related. When Isaiah Harrison left Eng,and'Ireland it was a good time for Harrisons in general to get out of town and come to America, especially those connected with Cromwell who wer e involved with beheading King Charles I. Isaiah'a father for instance was Rev. Thomas Harrison, Cromwell's Theologian and General Thomas Harrison was Cromwell's right hand man and called a "regicide " for being on the court which convicted King Charles I to beheading. Since King Charles II was assumingg the throne and beheading the beheadders it was good to escape his wroth. Another family in the same situation was Bradshaw. A Bradshaw was the chief justice of the court beheading the King. Both Rev. Thomas Harrison and General Th9mas Harrison were married to Bradshaws. I am suspicious without any evidence that the Northeast Harrisons were all related back home in England and Ireland. Perhaps also the Harrisons from Benjamin Harrison of Isle of Wight Co. VA was a part of this same bunch. Does anyone know of research on these possible connections? The name Miles Harrison does not exactly fit my description herein That is not a name wth which I am familiar, but I understand another Isaiah Harrison was also in PA.
