      Col Thomas Harrison IV VVeteran

      Birth: 1704 Stafford County, Virginia, USA
      Death: 1774 (aged 69-70) Stafford County, Virginia, USA
      Burial: Harrison CemeteryPrince William County, Virginia, USA
      Memorial #: 74802936

      Bio:
      Col Thomas Harrison IV, husband of Ann Grayson Quarles Harrison; son of Col Thomas Harrison III, grandson of Burr Harrison II, great-grandson of Cuthbert Harrison I of Westminster, London, England who immigrated to Virginia. Beleived to be buried in the historic Harrison Family Cemetery that is contained within the grounds of the Quantico National Cemetery and Marine Base in Virginia. The government acquired 50,000 acres in 1942 to expand the Marine Base, and with it took over many old family cemeteries. Most of the original markers for the Harrison ancestors buried here no longer exit, however descendants placed a Memorial Marker recognizing a few of those believed to be buried on the grounds of the old Harrison family plantation that was then located in what was part of Stafford County.
