14. Richard Harrison (William Junior3, William Senior2, William Harrison, First1) was born before
1712 in Virginia, died in 1791 in Prince George County, Va., about age 79, and was buried on an
unknown date in Prince George County, Va.
General Notes: Richard Harrison seems to have had to sets of children ("my former and latter
children") as indicated in his will; however, we have no knowledge of the first wife at this
time. The first of them were born before 1735, as indicated mainly by Sussex Co. personal
property tax records and the births of their children and grandchildren as recorded in the
Albemarle Parish Register. Richard's youngest children (Ishmael and Charles) were minors at
the time of his death (See Sussex Co. Chancery suit wherein there is reference to Charles
Harrison's guardianship as late as January, 1789).
William Harrison Senior also leaves three hundred Acres land at Black Water to be equally
divided between the three grandsons, Henry, Benjamin and Richard Harrison. Richard is to
have the inward part next BlackWater Swamp, Henry is to have the middle part and Benjamin
is to have the outward part. If William Harrison Senior's son Thomas should die without issue,
then Richard would inherit 100 acres of land beginning at the upper Long point upon
Flowerdehundred Creek and to the run up to the mouth of the Cross Creek for its length and
up the Cross Creek and down the Maine Creek for its breadth. If Richard has no heirs then the
100 acres goes to Henry Harrison.
Land Patent to Richard Harrison, 10 June 1740, Prince George County. Description is 200
acres on the south side of Stoney Creek upon the Reedy Branch adjoining Joseph Tucker.
