GEORGE HARRISON is stated in Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol. VI, published 1925 in Richmond, VA, to have been the son of JOHN HARRISON, who had a brother Dr. JEREMIAH HARRISON. They were described as members of a large family widely spread through the Eastern counties of England.

 "This family had already furnished two emigrants at least, who had founded Harrison Families in Virginia -- BENJAMIN HARRISON, whose descendants furnished two Presidents of the United States, and RICHARD HARRISON, ancestor of the accomplished scholar Burton N. Harrison, private secretary to Jefferson Davis.

""Dr. JEREMIAH HARRISON settled on Queen's Creek, York Co., VA near his kinsman Richard Harrison, but did not survive long. In 1654 Mrs. Frances Harrison, his widow, patented 1000 acres in Westmoreland County and about the same time JOHN HARRISON patented a thousand acres in the same county, failing his heirs to his sister Mrs. Frances Harrison, and failing her heirs to Giles Brent of "Peace" in the same County.

"Mrs. Harrison became the wife of Col. Giles Brent (his 2nd wife) but it appears that she died and had no issue by either marriage.

"It was perhaps otherwise with her brother-in-law JOHN HARRISON. His will has not been found, but there can be little doubt that he was the father of GEORGE HARRISON, who made his will in Westmoreland County, 2 October 1713, which was proved 25 Nov 1713. . ."

NO PROOF has been found, however, of a relationship between John Harrison and George, and the wording of the grant may suggest that John was childless.

For sure, though, our family descends from George Harrison, Sr., of Westmoreland Co., VA:
