The book states Battaile was the eldest son, lived in Orange County, Va., until 1761 when he moved to Amherst County where he died in 1775. His will can be found in the Amherst County Records, Will Book No. 1. His wife was Frances, surname unknown. Children are listed as: Reuben Harrsion John Harrison, married Sarah Ellis (see Ellis chapter) Richard Harrison Elizabeth (or Betty) Harrison, married a Mr. Tinsley James Harrison William Harrison Frances (or Frankey) Harrison I don't have the entire book so I can't check the Ellis chapter to see what it contains. I am trying to find out where the book can be found. Another thing, according to this book the Battaile (Battle) Harrison killed at Fort Washington during the Revolution was the son of Lawrence Harrison and nephew to your Battaile Harrison. Hope this information helps. If correct, you would be a 7th cousin to my mother-in-law and my wife would be your 7th cousin, once removed.
