From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Harrison_VI

Benjamin Harrison VI married two times. First, Harrison married a woman named Anna Mercer (1769-1787), and in 1776, broke relations with her and remarried to Susannah Randolph (1752-1781), a daughter of Richard Randolph II, who was a slave trader and the son of Richard Randolph of Curles. It is unknown why Harrison annulled his marriage with Anna Mercer, although it is probable that he wanted to increase his family's wealth and power by marrying into the Randolph family.
After his second wife's death in 1781, Benjamin fathered a son, Benjamin Harrison VII (1787 - 1842), with his first wife, Anna. However, some sources say that Harrison had another son, William Henry Harrison, whom he named after his brother.
