5. Worth S. Ray, in his book "Tennessee Cousins", thinks Benjamin Harrison, Clerk of the Council, was son of Richard Harrison, the Master's Mate v;ho was killed in 1603 by Indians on the Virginia coast. Richard left money with a brother, Peter Harrison of Warmington, only for a son, Peter. No mention was made of a son, Benjamin. There is a strange coincidence to back up Worth S. Ray's claim. Richard Harrison married Margaret Pilkington. A Margaret Pilkington and her husband, William, were found living next to Benjamin Harrison, Clerk of the Council, in Virginia - as a mother or a close relative, would follow to a new covmtry and settle nearby.
