About Dorcas Harrison
Dorcas Harrison Ward
Mrs. Harrison, nee Dorcas Ward, died in her 76th year. The wife of Joseph Harrison, Esq., her parents were John Ward and the former Hannah Crane*. Born in 1661 in what was then the British colony of Connecticut, she was one of many southern New Englanders to emigrate to New Jersey, often to practice a less rigid form of Puritanism. The year of her death is inscribed 1738/9, reflecting the growing Anglo-Protestant acceptance of the Gregorian Calendar. Her gravestone makes no other concessions, however, and has a grim soul effigy of the winged skull type, characteristic of the Puritan-dominated 1600's and early 1700's.
