GABRIEL HARRISON FAMILY TREE

The family tree below was copied from Family Search, the genealogy website managed by the Church of Jesus Crist of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon Church). It shows birth and death years for our ancestors back to Gabriel Harrison (1655 – 1747).

I am quite certain the second person on the illustration (Rebecca Pritchett Griggs) is the wrong Rebecca. A Gabriel Harrison married Rebecca Pritchett Griggs in Putnam County in the 1800s. Some amateur genealogist did not check sources and entered the incorrect information.

Also, the First Gabriel (1655 – 1747) lived much longer than normal for those times in Colonial Virginia. He may, or may not, be the same Gabriel Harrison found in the records in the Charles City County court in 1673.

Otherwise, the remainder of chart appears to be correct.

To follow our direct Harrison line from the original Gabriel Harrison you will have to match the last name in the direct Harrison ancestor to the same person on the next page. You will see lots of Gabriels and Nathaniels before you finally reach me, William B Harrison, Jr., and my deceased spouse Joan Moore Harrison (1939 – 2015), the mother of my three children.
