A Brief History of the First Harrisons of Virginia

Descendants of Cuthbert Harrison, Esq. of Ancaster, England From A.D. 1600 to A.D. 1915

by Henry Tazewell Harrison Published April 2, 1915

The First Harrisons of Virginia

The data upon which this history is based has been found in the Family Bibles belonging to the Harrisons, Elzeys and Powells, in entries made in the vestry books of various parishes, especially Dettingen Parish, Prince William County, Virginia, in a paper writt by Burr W. Harrison in 165 just before his death and from data written on the fly leaf of an old Prayer Book known as the "HARRISON - POWELL PRAYER BOOK" and for many years in the possession of Misses Anne Maria and Elizabeth C. Harrison of Leesburg, Virginia, and further from family letters and traditions and also notes made by many of its members from time to time.

The coat of arms of the Harrison family is an azure shield upon which are three demi lions rampant. The crest, a demi lion rampant or holding a laurel branch or semi wreath. The motton Vincit Qui, Patitur. This description is taken from the Harrison - Powell Prayer book and checked by research in the Congressional Lirbary and is further vouched for by family history transmitted down by word of mouth from generation to generation and also by written family notes. According to documentary evidence, it was granted in 1593 to Sir Thomas Harrison, knight, Lord Mayor of the City and Ainsty of York, England, from whom Cuthbert Harrison, I, was directly descended.

The First Harrisons to come to Viringia, 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 reisterof 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," ith its quaint old grave yad, 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 seventeeth 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 Cuthbert Harrison line has one strong characteristic which has been transmitted from generation to generation - they have all been Episcpalians and this fact has clearly distinguished them from the Benjamin and Valentine Harrison Lins, the latter having been staunch Presbyterians.

The Harrisons, Powells, Elzeys and Lees are all closely related thrugh intermarriage and it is a rare instance that any member of one of these families is now found who is not closely related to the others. -------------------- Links
