RICHARD HARRISON

Richard Harrison, also know as Rich Harrison, was born in Brunswick County, Virginia in 1865.  Richard was raised alongside his siblings - John, James, Benjamin,  Samuel, and Sallie - on the Harrison Farm in rural Ante, Brunswick  County.  

Richard Harrison appears in the 1870, 1880 U.S. Federal Census  records for Brunswick County, Virginia. Research is ongoing to locate  Richard in the 1900 - 1950 census records. Unfortunately, most of the  1890 Census records were destroyed in a fire at the United States  Department of Commerce building in Washington, D.C., on January 10,  1921.  

Richard married Fannie Daniel on Wednesday, March 4, 1885, in  Brunswick County, Virginia. Fannie’s parents were Lewis Daniel and Henrietta Stewart-Daniel.   

Richard Harrison's mother, Sarah Jane Harrison, passed away in 1905.

In  1906, a land sale document named Benjamin Harrison, Richard's brother,  as the guardian of Richard's children. This document also recorded the  sale of 10 acres to Alice Harrison-Banks, the niece of Richard and  Benjamin.

In 1908, Richard sold his  1/5 share of his late mother's 202-acre estate to his brother Samuel  Harrison. The deed noted that Richard was unmarried at the time of the  sale.

Research into Richard Harrison's history is currently ongoing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
