I cannot prove or disprove this, but some of the names of the children of this Joseph Harrison are involved with Nathan Harrison and the Chappelears. That is, Orpha for Orpha Carnes (had a son named Benjamin) John CHAPPELEAR Harrison Elkanah Harrison for Elkanah Edwards Nathan for Nathan Sr So I don't think this guy was descended from Robert 10. JOSEPH3 HARRISON (ROBERT2, JOHN1) was born 1771 in St. Mary's Co., MD, and died 1869 in Mineral Co., W. VA. He married VICTORIA SUITE Bef. 1800, daughter of BENJAMIN SUITE and MILDRED. She was born 1776 in St. Mary's Co., MD, and died Aft. 1811 in Mineral Co., W. VA. Children of JOSEPH HARRISON and VICTORIA SUITE are: i. ORPHA4 HARRISON, b. 1800; m. JOHN HEAD, Aft. 1815; b. Bef. 1800. ii. PENELOPE HARRISON, b. 1802; d. Aft. 1850, Hampshire Co., VA; m. JOHN CHAPPELEAR HARRISON, 28 Oct 1823, Hampshire Co., VA; b. 1795, St. Mary's Co., MD; d. Aft. 1850, Hampshire Co., VA. iii. ELKANAH HARRISON, b. 1803; m. ELIZABETH HULL, Aft. 1823; b. Aft. 1803. iv. NATHAN HARRISON, b. 1806; m. MATILDA HULL, Aft. 1826; b. Aft. 1806. v. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HARRISON, b. 1808; m. NANCY MOTT, Aft. 1828; b. Aft. 1808. vi. HAMPTON HARRISON, b. 1809; m. SARA BEASLEY, Aft. 1829; b. Aft. 1809. vii. CATHERINE HARRISON, b. 1811; m. J. P. BARTHALOW, Aft. 1816; b. Bef. 1811. Also I have this from a Harrison researcher? He associates this Mary Harrison of Hampshire Va with the Chappelears yet none of the names mentioned are of Chappelear origin, so I don't know who this Mary was.
