    3. I am a descendant of Hannah Harrison and have been researching this family for several years. Unfortunately, some of my early research is lacking in documentation. However, what I found convinced me that what I have is correct even if I neglected to note the source. So here is what I have; take for what it's worth: 1. George Harrison b. ca 1678 (based on marriage date) died: NOv of 1713 in Westmoreland Co, VA - Will written in Oct. of that year and proven in court in Nov. m. Elizabeth Duncan, d/o Peter and Bessie Caldwell Duncan (Elizabeth named as wife of George in Peter's will) ca 1698 (from papers of George Sandford King housed at the Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA) (Note: George's son John was married to Ann? and had no child named Hannah) 2.James Harrison b. ca 1690 died 29 Nov. 1726, Richmond Co., VA - recorded in records of North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, VA m. Mary ?(possibly Bragg) I have found Mary wife of James Harrison in Order Books with Joseph and Charles Bragg as her sureties. Doesn't really prove her maiden name. Issue of John and Mary: Hannah b. 1719 d. after 1742 (she leaves a slave woman to her four children in a deed dated 1742) m. John Taylor William Harrison b. 31 Dec 1719 ( North Farnham Parish Records, p. 41) John Taylor, s/o Simon and Elizabeth Lewis Taylor, b. ca 1703 in Rappahannock Co, VA (now Richmond Co) died 28 Feb 1740, Richmond Co, VA (North Farnham Parish Records, p. 95) m. Hannah Harrison ca 1726, most likely Richmond Co, VA Issue: Harrison b. 14 Sept 1735 (North Farnham Parish, p. 94) d. 22 Nov 1811, Ohio Co, KY ("Ohio County, Kentucky in the Olden Days" by Harrison D. Taylor [grandson of Harrison]) Simon b. 11 March 1728 (North Farnham Parish, p. 94) Richard b. 8 Nov. 1738 (North Farnham Parish, p. 95) Elizabeth b. 26 Sept 1731 (North Farnham Parish, p. 93) I think this family is sometimes tangled up with the "famous" Harrison family which was also in Westmoreland and Richmond Counties. I haven't found any Andrews in this Harrison family. I don't know where Martin Harrison Taylor comes from. People keep sending me this name with no source. I found Harrison Taylor in the birth records as stated above. All the deeds and orders I can find in Fredrick Co, VA where he lived before moving to Ohio Co, KY have Harrison, no Martin. There is no mention of Martin in Harrison's grandson's book. I don't believe Martin is correct. Hope this helps someone. Penny Woodford woodhome@erols.com
