Repl to all three papers... great stuff abd tghus could be a good resourse to keep handy for repeated reference. #1 p1. The Ruthereford Co. TN Harrisons sound like ours with Gideon there but could be Beaufort Co. VA Harrisons, or others Lots of Harrisons in Overton Co. and others from Marylnd in good numbers Those in Blount County TN should be ours. There is record of Isaiah Harrison, Quaker, representing Blount County and another county in an antislavery meeting of Quakers. This would be son of Jeremiah but evidently not a Quaker for long and became a Methodist preacher, but is said to have come with a bunch of Quakers from NC to Grene Co. TN. Thomas Harrison with a pennsionin Franklin County is interesting . He would have been 42 in 1800, so possible he was Thomas of Buncombe, but not likely. William Harrison of Hawkins Co. could have been one of ours. p3. Numerous Harrisons from Halifax Co. NC . I guess this is close o eaufort VA, Same line? Reuben there, Wake County NC Harrisons numerous and here is Lovell and the Rays and Luke discussed a few days ago, so apparently their home was Wake County. Yheophyllis Beddingfield m Caron Harrison...Not very important but reminds me of Lt. Bedingfield from GA with whom I was stationed in Enid Oklahoma shortly after WWII was over...and we all wanted out, but Lt. Bedingfield had a special way to deal with his desire. We always called him Lieutenant because he would never get any higher rank and they culd not take away his commision else they would have to let him out of the Army. He was just out of his internshipaswas I. Theys ent him to special basic training for Doctors. He was very nice and ppolite but he just could not get anyth ing done. He would not get up in the morning for roll call or any function other than redreation. Though called on the carpet often, there was nothing they could do to him. Any lower rank he could not p[ractcce as a Doctor and it was only Doctors who were being held in service at this late date, involuntarily. So they sent him to Enid Oklahoma wher he became my assistant in the dispensary. He did not mind treating patients ad so would occasionally work and help me out but he did not want anyone to know he was working. He played golf everday and carried his golf bag to the dispensary to see if I was overworked and if not he would go play golf. He was a good doctor but did not want to practice in any situation where he was in command of a patient. A lot of his philosophy rubbed off on me. So, maybe he was descended from a Harrison! Wee have a Polly Harrison m Austin Hood 1807 in Wake Co. ..wonder about the Hood. Coleman Harrison of Wake Co. I wonder if the same as Colmore, also called Coleman of Jackson Co. GA...the same? p 4. Wonder about the Mecklenburg VA Harrisons. Many and I have no idea of family line. We also have Joseh Harrison m Sophia Bruant in Jackson Co. GA Michael Harrison m Sarah Grant in Blount Co. TN 1845, so more than one Michael Harrison I expect besides Becky Bonners Some marriages of Isaiah's sons in Greene Co. TN. ..Josiah and Caleb. p5. "Colonial Familes" Gideon Harrison m Sarah Woodruff. God to know. Nathan Harrison a Colonial soldier of VA and Nathaniel and Thomas, but we knew that. WE know about a Nathaniel who m Jemima Stewart in spite of her father's rejection of Nathaniel for being of mixed race and this was in Iredell? NC or nearby. He was a Rev. Soldier. Thomas Harrison was listed with (cnty-lt). I guess that means County Lieutenant, an official position of the militia in the county, I presume as Liason with the Militia and higher in rank than it appears. Probably one of those aristocrats somewhere in VA., but also a Private Thomas Harrison or two or more. p 6. Illinois Regiment (from VA?) Harrison, James Gunner. Does this mean James Harrison a gunner or the name Gunner or Gunter - that would bve interesting as a name. p 7. Lots of Harrsons in Franklin Co. TN. I think this is close to Greene Co, but south towards Chattanooga. And ther is a Thomas Sr. and Jr. of interest. Ours? #2. p 3. James M. Harrison b in Calvert Co. MD 1742 and moved dto Overon, TN , so presumably he was the patriarch of this Maryland Family to Overton. It appears that tthe Gunnels married to Harrisons wer of this line of Harrisons - generally. #3. p 1. Gideon Harrson of Rutherford Co. RN, a vete of the Revolution was of the VA line age 72 in 1832. But Joseph Harrison of Rutherford Co TN served in the Maryland Line..does that mean two lines in Ruthrford of Harrisons? Nathaniel Harrison of Blount Co. served in the NC line, but of course ther was no Tennessee during the Revoluton. It was paart of NC. And Thomas Harrison of Franklin Co. TN also of the NC line William Harrison of Hawkins Co. TN was of the Maryland Line, so not likely the William of early Buncombe. p2. But a William Harrison a Lieutenant of Rutherford Co. TN was in the NC Line and 84 in 1833. He could have been in uncombe and a relative.
