      Cuthbert Harrison

      Birth: 1618 North Yorkshire, England ?? - not 1607 in Middlesex ??
      Death: 1699 (aged 80-81)
      Burial: Harrison CemeteryPrince William County, Virginia, USA ** - not Yorkshire - see below ??**
      Memorial #: 137562532

      Bio:
      Husband of Susannah (nee Burr, according to some researchers).

      "The First Harrisons to come to Virginia, according to the best information obtainable, were Cuthbert Harrison, Esq., of Ancaster, Caxtn and Flaxby, Yorkshire, England, and his son, Burr, II, who according to the reister of Dettingen Parish, Prince William County, Virginia, was baptised in the Parish of St. Margaretts, Westminster, England, on the twenth-eight of December, 1637, and on this register he is spoken of as "Burr Harrison of Chappawmsic". . . son of Cuthbert Harrison." when Cuthbert Harrison, Ind his son, Burr, II, first came to Virginia is unknown.
      Cuthbert Harrison I, with his son, Burr II, settled in then Stafford County, Virginia, on the northern side of the Chappawamsic Creek near Dumfries and there today lies the old estate called "Cahappawamsic," with its quaint old grave yard, where once lived and now rest, so far as known, the first Harrisons of our line who came to America. Old deeds in Prince William and Stafford Counties show that in the latter part of the seventeenth century large tracts of land on the Chappawamsic Creek were granted to Burr Harrison, II.
      The site of this estate is easily accessible from Washington. A ride of about an hour over the Southern Railroad brings one to Quantico and from Quantico to Chappawamsic Creek is only about one mile. Crossing the creek you turn inland and a ride of a few miles will bring you to a quaint old grave yard where now rest the earthly remains of the first Harrisons of Virginia."

      The Harrison Family DNA Project shows his death as occurring at Yorkshire: **?? - see above ??**

      The Thomas Harrison of Knaresborough, Yorkshire Line- The Family of Cuthbert and Burr Harrison of Colonial Virginia
      Knaresborough is near Leeds, in Yorkshire. This lineage is from the Visitation of Yorkshire, 1612 as cited in J. Houston Harrison's Settlers by the Long Grey Trail (1935). The arms of this family are given as: "Azure three demi lions erased Or. Crest: A demi lion as in the arms, holding a laurel wreath vertical." These arms are also the arms of Col. Burr Harrison of Chappawamsie, VA, 1722, which solidifies the connection Burr Harrison's line to this older English family. Dugdale's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1665 also discusses the descent from Thomas Harrison and Johan on p. 269 as "Harrisons of Allerthorpe. The Cuthbert Harrison line is comprised of descendants of Cuthbert Harrison who came from London, England and settled in Stafford County, Virginia. The data here are from Two May Families of Hollow Square, Green County, Alabama, by Bernice May Fuller as cited in Harrison Notes, 2 April 1994,by Charles W. Johnson. and from A Brief History of the First Harrisons of Virginia, by Henry T. Harrison (1915).
