Thomas Harrison
Birth: 1647 North Yorkshire, England ?? See below ??
Death: 1716 (aged 68-69) Stafford County, Virginia, USA
Burial: Harrison CemeteryPrince William County, Virginia, USA
Memorial #: 137561514
Bio:
Baptised 20 Oct 1647 at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster Abbey, London, England. ?? See above ??
Died before 1716.
Possibly buried in the Harrison family cemetery at Chopawamsic near his place of residence located near the Harrison family's Chopawamsic Plantation.
Some researchers apparently confuse him with "Thomas Harrison of Howden," buried in Apr. 3, 1716 in Yorkshire, though apparently different people.
Sometimes called "Capt. Thomas Harrison," though possibly confused with his nephew Capt. Thomas Harrison (1665- ), the son of his brother Burr Harrison.
Thomas Harrison and his elder brother Burr Harrison were sons of Cuthbert and Susannah Harrison who came from England to then Stafford County, Virginia (now Prince William County) and settled on the north side of Chopawamsic Creek.
Thomas Harrison's wife was three-quarters Native American, being the daughter of Cockacoeske, Queen of the Pamunkey, and Chief Totopotomoy (also called Toby West) who was the son of Lord de la Warr and Rachel Powhatan.
"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 register 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."
WIFE OF THOMAS HARRISON
Born in or near the Indian village of Chopawamsic, home of the Pamunkey tribe. She was the daughter of Toby West, Chief Totopotomoy, and the Pamunkey Queen Cockacoeske.
Her Christian name is unknown but some researchers show her as Jane Totopotomoi, perhaps only a "placeholder name" but one as good as any. She married about 1671 Thomas Harrison (born 1647), brother of Burr Harrison, and was born circa 1648 (before 1655), the daughter of Cockacoeske and her first husband Toby West (Chief Totopotomoy).
Native American genealogy includes many fragmentary records and much supposition and theory. Historian William Deyo says that "Of the three women named Seth mentioned in John West's (1716) will, one may have been a daughter of his sister/or half-sister who married Thomas Harrison and the others would have been her grandchildren, OR all three could have been grandchildren."
The daughters of William Harrison and Jane Totopotomoi are thought have been:
1. "Ann" Harrison (or Daughter 1) (circa 1668) possibly married (George?) Short who is said to be the father of Seth/Sythia Elizabeth Short (born c1678) who married Thomas Harrison (1665-1746), son of Col. Burr Harrison (born 1637). If this is correct, Seth Short married her mother's first cousin.
2. Seth Harrison born circa 1670 (by 1671) who married Jacob Anderson, the son of David Anderson and wife Elizabeth, the widow of John Hallowes who had owned Burr Harrison's indenture. Their daughter was Seth Anderson who married Dr. Richard Bryant.
3. Margaret Harrison (circa 1672) who married Moses Linton and had a daughter Seth Linton who married Moses Quarles.
4.?Susannah Harrison (circa 1674)
(possibly confused with her aunt Susannah West who married Cornelius Dabney, official interpreter to Cockacoeske, as his second or third wife)
5. Daughter 5 (circa 1676) married Robert Blake and had Seth Blake (born circa 1695) who married first Henry Lucas and second John Summers.
