From: Stephen Saviello - SteveSav@worldnet.att.net
The first American ancestor was RICHARD HARRISON and family who arrived
from West Kirby, Cheshire, England to New Haven, CT by 1644. In 1646,
Richard become one of the 37 proprietors of Branford, CT. His oldest son,
SGT Richard married Sarah Hubbard, had 8 children and became one of 11
founders of Newark, NJ in 1667 and a patentee in 1675. In 1668, he was
one of 6 Newark agents who negotiated its boundary with Elizabeth, NJ. He
also was an original town committee member and town surveyor. Newark was
founded after 6 years of communication with Peter Stuyvesant of New
Amsterdam.
Sgt. Richard's house in Newark, NJ (Essex County) was across from the
town square on present day Broad Street. Sources say at the southwest
corner of Clay or Cedar St.

Ref#253:
RICHARD HARRISON (c1596-25 Oct 1653) married Sarah Yorke in West Kirby,
Cheshire, England. They are recorded in New Haven, present-day CT by
1644. He died in Branford, CT. Richard was likely part of the Puritan
immigration to New England; certainly, he was a Puritan. Reportedly,
Richard Harrison’s first cousin was the Puritan military leader Thomas
Harrison (1606-13 Oct 1660), a member of the English parliament and a
close associate of Oliver Cromwell. In 1649, then Colonel Thomas
Harrison commanded the escort force for the captured King Charles I.
Thomas was a leader in the Commission that tried and sentenced Charles to
death. As a major general, and on Cromwell's orders, Thomas closed the
Rump Parliament in 1653. The next year, Cromwell accused Thomas of
treason and sent him to the Tower of London. He was later released, but
was eventually executed for treason by Charles' son, King Charles II.

Ref#260:
Richard Harrison, father and son, from West Kirby, in Cheshire, were at
New Haven 1664. Richard, sen. took oath of allegiance; rem. to Branford,
and died Oct 1653.
