Thank you for your inquiry and information! I am not certain
exactly who Isaac Harrison's parents are. There are many branches of the family. I am trying to stay in one geographical
area-Fred., Clarke, Warren Co.
The Hadley Library sent me some information regarding "Winchester Academy." Apparently this school,
or business gave "Indentures"-loans to persons to buy land. Isaac Harrison received two such "indentures" in the early 1800's to buy property near Middletown, Va. We probably have the same Isaac. Don't know if he had siblings.
His daughter, Mary Catherine Harrison married my Great, grt
Grandfather Alexander Finnell of Warren Co. Va. In 1850 Warren Co Census, Isaac Harrison has a Lydia Harrison in his household (widow). I guess Isaac's birth date around 1796. In a family bible obit of his son, it states as a "decendant of Pres. Harrison". Any clues?
D. Ford.
