He may have remarried after his wife's early death, and then moved
to Indiana.
May have been the son of George Harrison of Rahway Neck [Woodbridge, NJ]
whose estate was administered in 1814.
May, 1819 - Daniel Stringham and George Rector were overseers of the poor in Harrison Township. Tavern licenses were granted to Samuel McQuilkin and Robert Harrison, the latter being the "inspector of flour, beef and pork." [See "Greater Terre Haute
and Vigo County" by Oakey]
