Family Summaries in Progress:
This research summary starts with William Harrison, my 4th great grandfather, of Chatham County, Georgia.
William Harrison was born between 1776 and 1780 according to the US Census records of 1820 and 1830 and died about 1835 in Chatham County, Georgia, as his will was probated on March 21, 1835.
William Harrison is married to Mary Keller on September 5, 1807. They have six children that he names in his will. They are:
1) Rebecca Catherine Harrison 1808-1861 m. Jesse William Peoples, Jr. 1813-1856
2) George Paul Harrison, Sr 1813-1888 m. Thursa Adelaide Guinn 1821-1902
3) Mary Franklin Harrison 1816-1907 m. William Forrester 1822-1908
4) Harriet Louisa Harrison 1821 m. Needham Bullard 1817-1878
5) Susan Elizabeth Harrison 1824-1862 m. Joseph Henry Hines 1820-1871
6) Harris Kollock Harrison 1827-1873 m. Sarah Elinor Elkins 1829-1868
The wills of William Harrison, Paul Keller (Mary Keller’s uncle) in Chatham County, Georgia help quite a bit in confirming who the descendants are; and a Memoir written by George Cohen Harrison (my 2nd great grandfather – he was the son of Harris Kollock Harrison) describing his families journey from Georgia to Texas during the closing of the Civil War, and the relatives they visited on the way, does a great job in helping to place who is who.
William Harrison b. 1776-1780 first appears in court records in the Savannah, Georgia Civil Minute Books in January 1805 as a plaintiff over debts owed as a indorsee on notes.
On February 21, 1807, William Harrison, planter, buys 25 acres of land from a Peter Davis in Chatham County, Georgia. The land is located next to land owned by Maj. Peter Deveraux, Thomas Gibbons, Esq, and Thomas Davis. William Harrison is married to Mary Keller on September 5, 1807. On Dec 7, 1807 William Harrison witnesses the last will and testament of Celia Dotson of Chatham County.
On December 20, 1810, William Harrison purchases 100 acres of land in Chatham County from Stephen F Gregory and his wife Catherine Gregory.
Family Relations (not confirmed in any way – looking for ancestry of William Harrison above who died in 1835. People to look at below):
PARENTS:
Unk Harrison – (There was a Samuel Harrison who petitioned for land in Georgia in 1764 and stated that he “had been Twenty four Years in the Province had had no Land and was desirous to obtain Land agreeable to his Majesty’s royal Proclamation having a Wife and four Children”. No documents found yet to verify who Samuel Harrison’s children were, but its a lead to follow up. He says he had been in the province 24 years, meaning he arrived around 1740, likely making his birth year before 1719 – I would estimate somewhere between 1714-1719)

1813 April 26 – Honoured Sir,
I have been informed that Wm B Bulock Esquire has wrote two or three times to you for the Commission of the officers of the Rifle Company raised in the Little Ogechie or 7 Company district in Chatham County. And have not received any answer on the occasion. This has keep the 7th Company in a perfect confusion from the time the Rifle Company has been formed the officers has been so much abused that commanded the 7th Company that they have been forced to resign and the men will not elect Officers until they know the result of the Rifle Company the District is now at such a pass that they acknowledge no law an every man refuses to inform the law there fore I have thought proper to write to you to prevent strife among ourselves and a few lines from you will put a final stop to this confusion. Other wise forceable means will have to be resorted to to restore order in that Company. Not a man has attended a muster from that district this 6 months at the General Review this Spring the officer then commanding the Little Ogechie Company wont with orders to the Non-Commissioned officers, and they damed him and his orders, and not a man would turn out withstanding the commissioned officer summoned many of them himself.
This disorderly conduct has indust me to write to you to know if those men will be commissioned to command the Rifle Company. If this should be the case the 7 Company will be broke up as there will not be more than 7 or 8 men that has not joined the Rifle Company in that District. Your Excellence will have the goodness to write to me respecting the commission as quick as it may be convenant, that I may proceed to the most adviseable mans getting this district in order.
Dear Sir am your most obediant servant.
William Harrison, Major

Dear Sir,
I have taken the liberty of writing to you for information as respects the manor of inforceing the law against those persons that refused to turn out after bein Drafted for the Service of the United States, and fled from their homes so that the officers could not coerce their attendance into the service before the detachments was marched to their general places of destination. But has since retunred to their homes By and Act of the United States of 1795 sc 5 Those persons are punishable by a Court martial by a fine, the fine to be collected by the Marshall of the district in which the fine may be adjudged. But this act points out no method by which the Court Martial can be convened ….
Humble Servant, William Harrison, Lieut. Colonel, 3d Regiment, Georgia Militia.

(Note: George Cohen Harrison’s memoir said that they stayed at “Uncle Bullard’s” place when they left Savannah attempting to avoid the approach of Sherman’s army. He called him “William Bullard” – but in looking at the above records, either one of two things – either Needham’s first name was “William” and he never used it, OR George confused Needham Bullard’s name with his son William H Bullard’s name in writing his memoir – must remember that George Cohen Harrison’s memoir was not complete … he died before completing it, so he could have still been making changes. But from the above information, it appears clear that “Uncle Bullard” was actually Uncle Needham Bullard .
This becomes more clear when considering that Needham Bullard appointed James K. Hines as an admin of his will … James K. Hines is James Kollock Hines, son of Joseph Hines and Susan Elizabeth Harrison – sister of Harriet Louisa Harrison Bullard, wife of Needham Bullard. Both Susan Elizabeth Harrison and Harriet Louisa Harrison were sisters of Harris Kollock Harrison – George Cohen Harrison’s father ).

Notes:
THE HARRISON FAMILY (p. 77 – 89)
THE first member of the Harrison family of Virginia to appear in South Carolina was Thomas Harrison, who was ordained to the office of deacon of the Baptist Church at Euhaw, near Beaufort, by the Rev. Oliver Hart, A. M., pastor of the Baptist Church at Charleston, on the eleventh of January, 1752. Although it is impossible at present, owing to the destruction of both public and private records by fire and by the devastation of war, to produce legal proof of the fact, we have strong reason to believe that Thomas Harrison was not descended from the Harrisons of Wakefield, Virginia, from whom descend the Harrisons of Berkeley and Brandon on the James River. Like others of our ancestors he was a Sea Island planter,9 on a large scale, of rice, indigo, and cotton, owning a considerable number of slaves and exerting the widest influence in the part of the South where his plantation was situated. It is known from collateral wills that his second wife was a Hannah Sealy, a sister of the first wife of the Rev. Francis Pelot, and cousin of the second wife of the Rev. Oliver Hart. His first wife was Mary __.
Of the full number of his family, we are not sure, but he had a son William, who married Miss Gignilliat, of the distinguished family of this name of South Carolina and later of Georgia.
A son of William and his wife was Horace Jesse Harrison, a gentleman noted for his noble bearing, his strictly upright and honourable dealings with men of all grades, his wisdom and justice in the management of his slaves, his brilliant conversational gifts, and what is especially remembered of him by his own descendants and the descendants of contemporaries, his remarkable genius for friend ship. Mr. Harrison was a Colonel of the militia of Darien, and served under General Francis Hopkins, his intimate friend and neighbor, in the war of 1812. His wife was Mary Martha Pelot, daughter of James Pelot and his wife Elizabeth Chisholm, and granddaughter of the Rev. Francis Pelot and his first wife, Martha Sealy. She was a woman of marked intelligence, great beauty, and truly queenly bearing. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison lived on their plantation “The Meadows,” about six miles from Darien, and there reared a large family of three sons and six daughters. Of these children, a daughter, Caroline, shortly before engaged to a Mr. Merrill of Georgia and South Carolina, and two young sons, Samuel and Benjamin, were drowned at ” The Meadows ” in September, 1824, in the worst hurricane and tidal storm with which the southern coast of the United States was ever visited. It is interesting to note that the ancient records of the Presbyterian Church in Darien show that the five remaining daughters, with their grandfather William Harrison (their father having died in 1816 from an injury received in the war of 1812), united with the church in 1823.
These Harrison sisters were celebrated for their distinguished bearing, beauty, and wit. They were all married to men of marked ability and notable lineage, several of whom were at once lawyers and large planters. Our grandmother, Eliza Chisholm Pelot Harrison, the eldest, was married to Daniel Vaughan, eldest son of the young Massachusetts Lieutenant who settled on Amelia Island, Florida, on his Spanish grant, late in the eighteenth century. The second, Sarah Gignilliat, was married first to Isaac Snow of Rhode Island, who was the father of her twelve children, secondly to the distinguished Major Blue of Georgia, grandfather of the Hulls of Savannah, thirdly to Colonel A. A. Gaulding, an able lawyer and editor of Atlanta. The fourth daughter, Mary Amanda, was married to Henry Young of Savannah ; the fifth, Susan Marion, was the wife of Tudor Tucker Hall of South Carolina ; the sixth, Jane, was married to the Rev. Dr. Dodd, a scholarly Presbyterian clergyman of Augusta. Dr. Dodd was directly succeeded in the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Augusta by the Rev. Dr. Joseph Ruggles Wilson, father of the Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States.
When Dr. Dodd and his talented wife removed from Augusta they went to Roswell, Georgia, where Dr. Dodd became principal of the noted Roswell Academy, at which Institution many of the young sons and daughters of the aristocratic planters of the South were educated. Among his first pupils there was Martha Bullock, who afterward became the mother of Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt.
The one son of Horace Jesse Harrison who lived to man hood was Horace Nephew Harrison, a Lieutenant in the United States Navy. He married Rebecca Somerville of Baltimore and Washington and had two sons, who died in boyhood on Sapelo Island, Georgia, and four daughters, one of whom became the wife of Edward Codrington Carrington, an able lawyer of Baltimore. The Carringtons had with other children two sons, Edward C. Carrington, Jr., and Campbell Carrington, lawyers of Baltimore and New York. Lieutenant Horace Nephew Harrison’s other daughters were Mary Rebecca, who was married to Major W. F. Johnson ; Camilla, who died young, and Marion Amanda, who was married to Captain Addison Barrett. The sons who died young were Randolph and Henry.
Admiral James Harrison Oliver, of the United States Navy, whom President Wilson has appointed the first Governor of ” The Virgin Islands,” formerly known as the Danish West Indies, is of this Harrison family of Georgia. Benjamin Harrison, a great-grandfather of Admiral Oliver, was a member of the Convention which revised the Constitution of the State of Georgia at the end of the eighteenth century.
Benjamin married Charity Williams (died 1854), and had James, Dorcas, Charlotte, and perhaps others. Of these, Dorcas (born 29 October, 1802, died 18 September, 1830) married William Oliver (born 10 December 1798, died 1836) and had, among others, Thaddeus Oliver, who married Sarah P. Lawson and had James Harrison and other children.
James Harrison Oliver married, in 1882, Marion, daughter of Robert Carter, Esqr., of the famous family of that name of Northern Virginia, and whose fine estate ” Shirley,” on the James River, is still occupied by the family.
Despite the traditions of several generations of descendants and the sincere belief of many worthy persons now living that these Harrisons of South Carolina and Georgia belonged to the James River family, the author is convinced after several years’ research among Probate Court Records and land transactions, that Thomas Harrison, of South Carolina, descended from the ” Harrisons of Northern Virginia.”
Mr. William G. Stanard, the distinguished historian and genealogist of Virginia, says, “Probably no Virginia family of equal note has had so little systematic genealogical work done in regard to its history as that of Harrison, which, first settling in Stafford, extended to Prince William, Fauquier, Loudoun and other counties, and which for purposes of distinction may be called Harrison of Northern Virginia ….the subject is full of difficulty, owing chiefly to the destruction of so large a part of the records of Stafford and Prince William Counties, during the Civil War.”10 The distinguished family of ” Harrison of Northern Virginia ” was founded by Cuthbert1 Harrison, who in 1637 was resident in the parish of St. Margarets, Westminster, London. The parish register of St. Margarets shows that Burr, son of Cuthbert Harrison, was baptized 3 January, 1637, that Cuthbert, son of Cuthbert, was baptized 11 January, 1607, and that Alexander, son of Cuthbert and Susan Harrison, was baptized in 1644.
Cuthbert’s eldest son Burr2 Harrison, emigrated to Virginia and settled in Stafford County, where we find him a Justice in 1698. He died intestate in 1706. He married in Virginia the widow of Edward Smith. She bore him a son Thomas3, (born 7 September, 1665) who died 13 August, 1746. He had children : William4; Burr4; Thomas4; and Cuthbert4. July 10th, 1700, Thomas3 (Burr2), of ” Chappawamsie,” is included among the civil and military officers of Stafford County. William4 (Thomas3, Burr2, Cuthbert1) with his father and others obtained a grant of land in Stafford County in 1706. Mr. Stanard says : “He was appointed a justice of Prince William County in 1731 and was vestryman of Overwharton Parish, Stafford, in 1746. The index to the lost Stafford deed book 1729-1748 refers to the inventory of the estate of William Harrison, deceased, so he probably died in Stafford between 1746 and 1748.” William4 Harrison (Thomas3) married Sarah Hawley and had issue : William5 who died in 1750; and Thomas5, who was beyond reasonable doubt the deacon at Euhaw, South Carolina, in 1752, and whose will of date May 3rd, 1755, is recorded in Charleston, South Carolina.
Thomas4 Harrison (Thomas3) born —, died in December, 1773, was appointed a justice of Prince William in 1731, and was sheriff of that county in 1733. From 1742 to 1769 he was Burgess for Prince William County, but when Fauquier County was set off from Prince William, he became a resident of Fauquier. His wife was Ann, and they had children: William5; Thomas5; Burr5; Susannah5; Mary5; Ann5; Benjamin5.
Of these children, Burr5, (Thomas4, Thomas3, Burr2, Cuthbert1), removed to South Carolina soon after the Revolution, following the example of his first cousin, Thomas5 (William4, Thomas3, Burr2, Cuthbert1) who had become a citizen of that Province some years earlier. Burr5 (Thomas4) born 1738 in Virginia, died in Chester District, South Carolina, in 1822, having gone there after serving under General LaFayette in the war of the Revolution. He married, in South Carolina, Elizabeth Dargan, of Sumpter District, South Carolina.
Burr5 and Elizabeth (Dargan) Harrison had children: 1. Benjamin, married Nancy Hart, and lived in Columbia, South Carolina; 2. Mary, married Benjamin May; 3. Jonathan, married Sally Tyler ; 4. Kate married Samuel Johnson; 5. Elizabeth died unmarried; 6. Rebecca married Nathaniel Cocknell ; 7. Susan married William Head; 8. Sophy, married Christopher Thompson ; 9. Dorean married (1st) James Runnell and (2) Hartwell Macon ; 10. Narcissa married James Ragsdale; 11. Mordecai married Susan Alston; 12. Anne married Mr. McLelland, of Charleston, South Carolina.
The will of Thomas5 Harrison (William4), planter of old Granville County, and deacon of the church at Euhaw, mentions his children, Henry, William, Thomas, John, Mikell and Francis. It was his son, William, who married Miss Gignilliat, and went, with many others, from Beaufort District, South Carolina, to Darien, Georgia, soon after the close of the Revolution. That the colonist ancestor, Burr Harrison, was a man of means, is shown by the large acreage taken up in his name, and that he was of gentle birth, the arms of Harrison he brought with him to this country is guarantee.
From generation to generation his descendants have married with the best. They are now scattered throughout the Union, and we find them, as in the past, filling honorable positions, civil and military.
Bishop Meade, in his noble book, ” Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia,” describing life in the Old Dominion, says : ” There were galleries in the church at Broad Run, one of which was allowed to be put up by Mr. Thomas Harrison, provided it was done so as not to incommode any of the pews below it. The others were put up by the vestry and sold. The pews below were all common, though doubtless taken possession of by different families, as is usual in England. The old English custom (beginning with the Royal family in St. George’s Church at Windsor) of appropriating the galleries to the rich and noble was soon followed in Virginia, and the old aristocratic families could with difficulty be brought down from their high lofts in the old churches, even after they became uncomfortable and almost dangerous.”11
Bishop Meade further says: ” We enter now on that most interesting portion of Virginia called the Northern Neck, which, beginning on the Chesapeake Bay, lies between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, and crossing the Blue Ridge, or passing through it, with the Potomac, at Harper’s Ferry, extends with that river to the heads thereof in the Alleghany Mountains, and thence by a straight line crosses the North Mountain and Blue Ridge, at the head-waters of the Rappahannock. By common consent this is admitted to be the most fertile part of Virginia, and to abound in many advantages, whether we consider the rich supply of fish and oysters in the rivers and creeks of the tide-water portion of it and the rapid growth of its forests and improvable character of its soil, or the fertility of the lands of the valley, so much of which is evidently alluvial.
” There were settlements at any early period on the rich banks of the Potomac and Rappahannock by families of note, who took possession of those seats which originally be longed to warlike tribes of Indians, which latter were forced to give way to the superior prowess of the former.”12 Among the notable families of Northern Virginia were those of Carter, Cary, Culpepper, Custis, Fairfax, Harrison, Lee, Tayloe and Washington.
There comes to our mind the gentle admonition of Bishop Meade: “Show your estimate of a respectable ancestry by faithfully copying their excellencies. ‘ Say not that you have Abraham for your father,’ said our Lord, ‘ for God is able to raise up children unto Abraham, out of the stones of the earth.’ He bids them to do the works of Abraham in order to receive his favour. Your ancestry may, and will be, only a shame to you, except you copy what is worthy of imitation in their character and conduct.”

p. 65 – Daniel Vaughan, son of John D. and Rhoda Effingham Vaughan, was born on his maternal grandfather’s plantation in Georgia in 1800, and married, first, Elizabeth Harrison, daughter of Captain Samuel Harrison of Amelia Island, and sister of Colonel Robert Harrison, one of the most affluent and best known of the Sea Island planters. His wife died very soon, leaving no children, and he married secondly, about 1825, Eliza Chisholm Pelot Harrison, born in 1805 on her father’s estate ” The Meadows”, about seven miles north of Darien, Mcintosh County, Georgia, daughter of Horace Jesse Harrison and his wife Mary Martha Pelot (whose mother was Elizabeth Chisholm). Daniel Vaughan inherited part of his father’s plantation on Amelia Island, which he managed progressively for several years before his father’s death. This plantation was one of three or four into which the whole of Amelia Island was divided, its extent being easily imagined when it is known that Daniel Vaughan and his father together owned about five hundred slaves.
On this plantation he spent his life, his death being occasioned by a steamboat explosion near St. Simon’s Island, off the coast of Georgia, in 1856. He was buried in the Vaughan burying ground on the plantation. His wife, Eliza C. Pelot Harrison, died some time before 1875.
