Notes

Under construction.

On 21 June 1747 the Rev. John Craig of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church baptized "David Stuart and Abigail Harrison adult persons after profession of faith and obedience." Joseph A. Waddell, Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, p. 152. Some have suggested that there may have been circumstances that required this baptism as part of a marriage before Rev. Craig performed their ceremony. Just which Harrison was the parent of Abigail is not known. Research suggests that there may have been other Harrison descendants of David's generation (for example survivors of his deceased uncle Gideon's family) at Augusta County and a Joseph Harrison who was also of the generation of David's parents. In these frontier circumstances it would not have been unusual that David Stewart married a cousin. Assigning Abigail a specific parent, however, would at this point be pure guesswork.
