Harrison family history contd.: JAMES HARRISON left to his wife MARY all of his estate both real and personal of every kind, and charged her with the education of his youngest son ROBERT PICKENS HARRISON. She was to give each child his lot, but if she married she was to take six choice Negroes, one out of every childs lot, and still live at the home place and have the use of the carriage, household goods, plantation tools and stock of all kinds. JAMES HARRISON left to the use of his son JAMES S. HARRISON 14 slaves and much land. To his son JOHN E. HARRISON 14 slaves and much land. To his son ROBERT PICKENS HARRISON he left 12 slaves and much land. To his daughter SUSANNAH S. HARRISON MAYSON he left 307 acres and 12 slaves. To his daughter MARY JANE HARRISON 15 slaves, 2 feather beds, furniture and four head of cattle. To son JOHN, 1 horse, 1 bed, and furniture, four head of cattle, both guns, the sideboard and secretary, one cupboard. To LAURA ANN HARRISON HOBBS, his daughter, 7 slaves on written condition that if Burel E. Hobbs or any other person brings suit against JOHN HOLLINGSWORTH as ADM. of WM. H. HOLLINGSWORTH deceased to recover this property to pay damage, the said HOBBS nor his children shall never have any other way. [sic] The main part of the property was divided between his children, JAMES, JOHN, PICKENS, SUSANNAH, and MARY, and if any of them died leaving no children his part was to go to the other four; and if they all die but one leaving no children, that one is to have all the rest, and in case they all five die leaving no children all of the estate was to be in the hands of the S.C. Conference and their successor in office for the use of the M.E. Church. His wife Mary was appointed executrix, while a widow, and his sons JAMES and JOHN and PICKENS Executors. (Will book D p.208 Edgefield Dist., S.C.) A conservative estimate of the value of slaves at that time would be from about $750.00 each to $1,000.00 each, so this James Harrison was a wealthy man. --Jessica
