Mother: Eunice LINFORD |
The second child of Flavel R. and Eunice (Linford) Harrison, Sarah was born in 1817, probably in West Bloomfield (present-day Montclair), NJ, where her grandfather Moses Harrison had relocated from Orange in 1804. Her parents were married 26 February 1815 at the Acquackanonk (present-day Passaic) Dutch Reformed Church, near where the Linfords lived. She may have been Flavel and Eunice's last child.
Her older brother was Stephen Decatur Harrison (c1816-87). Sarah and her brother received bequests ($40 and $100, respectively) from their grandfather, Moses', estate in 1854. His will, signed in 1845, notes that his son, Flavel, was dead and mentions no other children of Flavel. Flavel does not appear in any New Jersey census record, which begin officially in 1830; considering that only two children have been found on record, Flavel may have died about 1818.
Sarah and her brother probably lived with their grandfather Moses after Flavel died. The 1830 census reports a male and female of consistent ages living with Moses in Bloomfield. Stephen Decatur Harrison was probably named after CPT Stephen Decatur, the American naval hero who defeated the Barbary Coast pirates and was undefeated against the English navy during the War of 1812. Stephen Harrison lived in Jersey City on 28 August 1850, when the census recorded him as 35, married, and a merchant owning real estate worth $18,000. Also listed were his wife, M. Rosaline, 26; their children, Thomas, 7, Lawson H., 4, and John W., nine months old; and two Irish-born housekeepers. Stephen does not appear in 1860 census indices. He does, however, appear in the 1867 New York City Directory as a New Jersey resident as a merchant at 27 Water Street and as a refiner at 68 Robinson Street. An 4 May 1887 inventory in Hudson County valued Stephen's estate at $10,829: Mortgage bonds of $4500, life insurance of $2500, produce and cotton exchange certificates of $3200; and $629 of home furnishings.
The Harrisons were among the founders of both Branford, Connecticut and Newark, New Jersey. The present-day town of Harrison, New Jersey is named after the family. In 1646, Richard became one of the 37 proprietors of Branford, CT. His eldest son, SGT Richard. married Sarah Hubbard (#2), had eight children, and became one of the founders of Newark, NJ in 1667 and a patentee in 1675.
