BIOGRAPHY:Isaiah Harrison (c1666-1738) came to America from Englandabout January 2, 1687. T his is the date of the first mention of hisname in the
Oyster Bay, Queen's Co., Long Island records. He was a blacksmith.It is
possible that he was the son of Rev. Thomas Harrison, chaplain toHenry
Cromwell. About 1689 or near after, Isaiah's first wife died and thenabout 1700 he marrie d second, Abigail Smith. On April 20, 1702, hesold all of his Oyster Bay lands, his wife Ab igail joining him insigning the deeds. The same day he bought 500 acres of land on thewest ern bank of the Nissequogue River, at Smithtown, Long Island, towhich he removed with his fa mily. There he bought 200 acres more,September 23, 1708; this land being on the eastern sid e of the riveropposite his home tract. His second wife is thought to have been ofthe Smith town family. The children of Isaiah and his wife Abigail,were all born at Smithtown, Long I sland.
Isaiah sold his home place at Smithtown, June 12, 1721, and veryshortly therafter removed wi th his family to Sussex County, Delaware,where he bought 900 acres of land known as Maiden P lantation---abouteight miles west of Lewes---June 22, 1721. After his removal toDelaware h e sold his remaining 200 acres at Smithtown, April 28,1722, his wife Abigail also signing th e deed. She is thought to havedied about 1732. This year, on October 10th, for a nominal s um, hedeeded to each of his sons, Daniel, Thomas, and Jeremiah, 250 acres ofMaiden Plantati on, her name being missing from these deeds. Later,on May 7th, 1736, he disposed of his rem aining 150 acres of MaidenPlantation, also without her signature.
About 1737, Isaiah Harrison and his family of five sons and two of his
daughters set out for Virginia. (son, Gideon died; son, Isaiah Jr.and
Elizabeth may have remained behind). The family probably camped forabout two years on the S outh Fork of the Shenandoah River before"taking up" land.
During this time, Isaiah died and was buried near the "White House".In
Virginia the brothers and their sons purchased much land in thevicinity of
present Harrisonburg. John's property was located at the Big Springat the
Head of Smith's Creek, now Lacey. Daniel's was at the Head Spring ofCook's
Creek, now Dayton, Va. Thomas's land was at the Head Spring of theeast fork
of Cook's Creek. Jeremiah's was at Cook's and Linville's Creeks andSamuel's
at Kotzer's Spring, now Linville, Va. In 1741, Daniel and Son, Robertowned
land on the Dry Fork of Smith's Creek, where the old county seat waslocated
at Smithland.
Among the effects of John and Daniel Harrison and of the latter's sonRobert,
as disclosed by their wills and inventories, are found articles ofevident
English origin, which, considering their scarcity in the Valley ofVirginia in the days of th ese pioneers, are readily accounted for asheirlooms inherited from Isaiah Harrison, and bro ught over by him tothis country. Thus John's inventory, (November 21, 1771) mentions a"sil ver hedet cane," a pair of kneebuckles, and an expensive pair ofsleeve buttons. Daniel's i nventory, (August 21, 1771 mentions a pairof silver shoe buckles, a pair of Silver kneebuck les and clasps, apair of money scales, and a pair of (surveyor"s, or hunter's)compasses. " Robert in his will, (May 4, 1761), disposed of his "BestHatt" and watch. John Harrison h ad also three "old chests" that mayhave crossed the ocean. The seal bearing the coat of arm s, as usedby Daniel, the rarest article of the lot, had most assuredly taken thetrip and be en handed down by Isaiah. All these personal effectscombined were no more than what one mig ht expect an immigrant ofIsaiah's day to possess on his arrival in this country, -- That the rewere no duplicates of such articles among the brothers is shown bytheir inventories. Th e above paragraph of data came from Settler bythe Long Gray Trail page 71
