| Although I am not a descendant of Benjamin Harrison I, some of his descendants married into my family.
Consequently, I have devoted Allied Family Topic HA to his family. |
Benjamin Harrison I, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Benjamin Harrison I might describe his life as follows. |
 |
I was clerk of the Council by 15 March 1633/4 when I signed a document in that capacity, and was a burgess from James City in 1642.  |
|
The governor granted me 200 acres in Warrosquyoake (later Isle of Wight) County 7 July 1635, 600 acres in James City County 18 May 1637, and 500 acres in James City 21 March 1643/4. I sold the 200 acres to Thomas Davis. |
|
I died after 1644 when I received my last patent and before 1649 when the land was in the hands of my son. My wife was Mary who married second Capt. Benjamin Sidway. |
|  |
|
|
Mary Harrison Sidway made her will in Surry County leaving granddaughter Hannah Harrison a colt and John Kersey, a heifer. The rest of her estate she left to her two sons Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Sidway (will dated 1 March 1687/8 and proved 29 May 1688). |
