John Harrison

Awarded part of the compensation for 13 enslaved people in Trinidad with William Anthony Harrison and Sarah Ann Walkinshaw (both of whom q.v.).

There are at least two possibilities: (1) the John Harrison who was baptised at Blandford Forum 21/03/1785, the son of John and Ele [or Ely] Harrison, who was probably the same man as the John Harrison 'gentleman' aged 66 born Blandford Forum living with his wife Eliza at St Andrew Plymouth in 1851; (2) the John Harrison attorney whose son with his wife Mary was baptised at Blandford Forum 16/12/1824.

W. Hanley of Trinidad was listed as a subscriber to Charles Shepherd's An Historical Account of the Island of Saint Vincent, published in 1832.

T871/894 Trinidad 1842A-C. T71/1277 identifies John Harrison as of Blandford Forum, Dorset and William Anthony Harrison as of Uxbridge.
