I am looking for the Harrison's who were in Wayne County, Tennessee around the 1870's.  David Summerfield Harrison is the first Harrison in my tree and he was married to Captain Andrew Jackson and Frances Caroline Rutledge Roberts' daughter Julia Ann Roberts.  I have alot of information on the Roberts side except for when she died and what of and where she is buried.  I know nothing at all about David Summerfield Harrison and would like any information on trying to find out who is parents and siblings were.  I only know of one of his children with Julia and his name is William Thomas Harrison born around Hardin County, Tennessee in 1874.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am descended from Isaiah Harrison, the first Harrison of our family to live permanently in the United States.  He was born in Chester, England in 1666, and arrived in Oyster Bay, New York in 1687.  He purchased land there from the Indians and raised a large family.  Eventually he moved to Delaware, and later, Augusta County, Virginia where he died along the banks of the Shenandoah River. 

Isaiah's father, Thomas, was a minister in Jamestown, Virginia for several years, but he changed his religious beliefs and left.

The Harrisons lived in Virginia and the Carolinas before moving to Tennessee, Texas, and my particular branch, to Alabama by 1820.

The family line has been traced back to Henry DeHede, who was born in about 1325 in Northumberland, England.  Some researchers believe that Harrisons accompanied King Canute of Denmark when he traveled to what is now Great Britain.

There is a lot of Harrison information in a book called The Long Grey Trail.

From the research I have done, I believe I am decended from Isaiah that arrived in Oyster Bay New York, later to Delaware, and  Virginia.   My branch moved to Kentucky in the late 1700's.   Would like to connect with anyone that may have information on this line of Harrison's.
