Notes

Lawrence and Catherine's children moved to Kentucky. According to the Draper Manuscripts Lawrence was a brother of Benjamin Harrison the signer of the Declaration of Independence and letter therein dated. However the birthdate listed in the IGI indicates some conflict here. Tennessee Cousins states that Lawrence's parents were Andrew Harrison (b. 1666) and Elizabeth Battaile.

Lawrence Harrison, Constable, resided in OrangeCo, VA as late as 1754; removed to Frederick Co, VA in 1758; remained until 1762 and removed to Bedford Co PA where he is of record as being Township Supervisor, Jul 16, 1771. Bedford Co. was erected in 1771 and from it, later Fayette Co was erected in 1783. While the lands which he and his children owned are in what is known as Fayette Co now, they were during his lifetime in Bedford Co, where "Letters of Administration were granted to Catherine Harrison, his wife, and son, William Harrison, Jan 14 1772". Sometime following her husband's death Catherine Harrison went to KY and was residing with her sister, Mary (Harrison) Moore, wife of Capt Thomas Moore, where she died 1826. (Deposition of John Cord, of Bedford Co, PA (Ibid). Lawrence Harrison entire history will be found in Torrence & Allied Families, p. 320-325. ^[S9] ^[S126] ^[S9] ^[S252] ^[S250]
