I just recently learned that Thomas Harrison is my 10th great grandfather, with Isaiah Harrison being my 9th! Supposedly Abraham Lincoln is also my 2nd cousin 6 times removed.
I have a few Carter materials with me as I type this. They're certainly on the list of families to discuss. So, stay tuned for that in the next few months. Next will be the Randolphs after an interview or two.
@@rvanness Thanks! Just at Shirley Plantation. They tour guide came out and told me no drones. :/ ..usually I ask before hand but the guide was away from her desk when I went to check
I’d be curious about what you found about the Harrison origin story. I haven’t heard anything of Viking royalty but I do find Harrison’s mainly in Danish settlements. In the end, we’re as American as you can be, not even having an origin story in England.
Bertram Fitz De Haute is a very great ancestor from 1100 we took the Harrison last name when we finally settled in Britain. After leaving the Isle of man.
@@jimmydean9457 I feel like I've seen that name when looking back but around Thomas Harrison, Lord Mayor of York, things get a bit more iffy with dates and locations and pretty much everything. So I've seen it go back to De Haute, but I'm not positive that it's correct. In addition, there are a lot of forgeries when it comes to De Haute from what I've read, so a lot of it can't be believed. Curious where you got your information? edit: realizing I'm posting from a different account, sorry about that.
@@rvanness. I come from Burr "the immigrant" Harrison. The first Harrison to settle in Virginia was Burr Harrison (1637-1706) who served as a justice of Stafford County, incited the people of Stafford to take up arms against the Indians and Catholics in Parson Waugh’s tumult of 1689, and was appointed as ambassador to the Piscataway Indians by Gov.Nicholas in 1699. The Harrison estate was in the path of an early Indian hunting ground. Also buried here are Burr Harrison’s wife, Sara Frances Burdett Harrison, and his grandson, who inherited the plantation, Burr Harrison II. Thomas Harrison, 1665-1746, the First Lieutenant of Prince William County and one of the first trustees of Dumfries is buried here along with his wife, Sophia C. Short Harrison. The cemetery also contains the graves of John Nelson Tolson, 1796-1851, Frances Harrison Peyton, and Anne Barnes Harrison. The Harrison family were the proprietors of the Missouri Mills and owned another plantation near Charleston, S. C.
@@jimmydean9457 My Grandfather was a direct decendant of Burr Harrison as well, our line has been traced back to Adam Harrison 1360 - 1391. Fascinating family line.
EPIC my tree says im connected to the Byrd family of Westover and the Harrisons of Berkley. The Byrds and Harrisons are related to 7 presidents 2 of the 7 are 2 Harrisons, others including John Tyler, Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison. 5 other prominent wealthy Tidewater families related to the 7 i mentioned are Parke Custis Randolf Fitzhugh Carter families. How is this posdible? They lived close to each other.
Your suggestion is noted. I add music not specifically for time period. Still, either way, Rev War music wouldn't fit the period, because most of my narrative work is 17th C, not late 18th.
@@rvanness I see, well? I guess im being picky. If you did play Revolutionary music each presentation could have a different tune and during special occasion months like 4th of July you add patriotic sounding, music like Yankee Doodle just tossing suggestions to add some flair to your presentation and add some pictures slides for reference while you are telling the story and history. Any presentation you have is historical with LOTS of info i wasnt aware of. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and presentations.
I know this is going to sound ALOT but in the near future could you do presentations for the Coleman Dejarnette, Pemberton, Hampton familes I believe these familes are Virginia Tidewater families. The Dejarnette family is the 1st French Huguenot family to colonize Virginia? Unless there are other Tidewater French families im not aware of. Thanks
William Henry Harrison is my 5th gg. I'm trying to confirm his son Carter Harrison. My dna line shows the linage. I'm at a crossroad on Carter Harrison, William son.What I'm running into is that when I search his daughter says Anna, but my great great great is Rebecca. Anyone have knowledge.
Anna Symmes was his wife. Then there was an Anna as his daughter that wed William Henry Harrison Taylor. Before I get going too far down a rabbit hole, there were many Anna Harrisons and a few William Henry Harrisons. Might it be possible that you've crossed into a separate branch during your research? One key source I'd recommend using is Burr Harrison's work.

Carrrry me back to Old Virginnnnny! 😊
Absolutely!
I just recently learned that Thomas Harrison is my 10th great grandfather, with Isaiah Harrison being my 9th! Supposedly Abraham Lincoln is also my 2nd cousin 6 times removed.
How neat! Yeah, there is a Lincoln connection to Virginia that many don't realize. Thanks for sharing!
Thomas Harrison is my 11th great grandfather, so I guess that makes us cousins too.
I'm a direct ancestor of William Hampton who arrived in 1620 on the Bona Nova I would love to know what you could find out on him
Be awesome if you did one on the Carter family

@@rvanness Sweet, looking foward to it!
@@VATravels I'm loving your stuff btw. Are you getting any pushback over your aerial shots?
@@rvanness Thanks! Just at Shirley Plantation. They tour guide came out and told me no drones. :/ ..usually I ask before hand but the guide was away from her desk when I went to check
I have the carter family in my line
Can you do one on the beverleys?
Hi Cheryl,
I plan to do so. I have just a few more to do, but have been compiling research on them for some time now.
Thanks,
Robert.

so from what I have got. there are 4 Harrisons of Virginia. I come from one
That's pretty cool. Which one?
@@rvanness. I come from

Note: Evelyn Byrd is the daughter of William Byrd the 2nd. Not William Byrd the 3rd.
Just a suggestion id rather hear American Revolutionary War music and not Blue Grass music (wrong time period)
