Captain Cuthbert Harrison, I

"Cuthbert was probably born between 1710 and 1715. Since he was not named as a helper on his father's tobacco plantation in 1723, he may have been less than ten years old that year. This first known mention of him came in Nov 1738 when he married Frances (Barnes) Osborne, the widow of Thomas Osborne, who had died the previous year. Frances, the daughter of Mathew Barnes, was the sister of Ann Barnes Harrison, the wife of Cuthbert's oldest brother. Both sisters were named in their father's will." [S419] [S26]
