- [maryabbywhite.FTW]
He came to America when he was already advanced in years, with his grown
family, among whom were Richard Jr., and Thomas, and perhaps other sons.
No mention is made of his wife or her death, it is probable that she did
in England before the family sailed for New England. He took the oath of
allegiance in New Haven, 5 Aug 1644. Early in the Spring of that year he
was one of the company of proprietors who took possession of their
purchase of "Totoket", now called Branford, in the colony of New Haven.
He signed the divisions of land at Branford, 1 Jul 1646, which is probably
the first extant of Branford, and is called "Old Harrison" on the Branford
records. He remained in Branford until his death. (From Genealogies of
Early CT Families, p2008.)
