I am a descendant of Eleanor Harrison who married John Lowe and then John Castlio. Her father was Richard Harrison who died in Nov 1794 in Davidson County, Tennessee. I believe he was born about 1726. His will said that he owned land in Monongalia County, [west] Virginia and his children were Joseph, Eleanor, Richard, Lidda and Mary. Can someone help with his ancestors and wife. I also found a reference to the following who looks like the same Richard Harrison
"FORT HARRISON-
This was a stockade fort situated on the west side of the Monongahela River, at the source of Crooked Run, in Cass District, Monongalia County. It was erected by Richard Harrison, who came from Eastern Virginia. It consisted of a two-story, hewed log-house, 20 X 30 feet, with a large yard enclosed by a wall of strong palisades. Within this yard was a well, and just outside was a spring. The former has been filled, but the latter flows on just as it did when the fort near by when the scene of Indian hostilities. "
