She had a son Thomas Sunderland Gibson before her marriage to Richard Harrison and a memorial to Thomas Sunderland Harrison (he took the surname from his stepfather), his son (by first wife) and third wife is in the parish church of St John the Baptist here in Frome, Somerset. Agnes died at Winkfield in Berkshire in 1835 and her will (PCC will in 1835) makes no bequest to Richard though he is mentioned in the granting of probate.<br />It is probably easiest for you took look over the details on the tree (Frome Selwood people) that I have on Ancestry..

Richard Harrison was of course the surviving son of Thomas Harrison's second marriage to Catherine (Catarina) Drayson and was baptised 3 June 1780. I did find a marriage to Agnes Gibson on 16 Dec 1802 at St George's, Hanover Square, but no other corroborating evidence. Is this true? Thomas Harrison modified his will in the year that he died (1809) to leave Agnes out of the reckoning so I assume she died around that time.I would be most grateful for any information about the Harrisons that you are able to share with me. I know a lot (now) about Thomas Harrison's business career but almost nothing about his origins.Bryan Dunleavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550652628913169630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806896152316154316.post-75636122974774160752015-12-30T17:41:29.492+00:002015-12-30T17:41:29.492+00:00Would be glad to share more information I have abo...Would be glad to share more information I have about Agnes, first wife of Richard Harrison, and would note that he was son of Thomas' second marriage - baptised Name: Richard Harryson<br />Gender: Male<br />Baptism Date: 3 Jun 1780<br />Baptism Place: St. Mary Magdalene's, Stony Stratford, Buckingham, England<br />Father: Thomas Harryson<br />Mother: Catherine <br />With best wishes<br />Colin AlsburyArc Insolublyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698284399511062377noreply@blogger.com
