  1. Harrison's date of death is noted as 27th November, 1803 in a legal dispute related to the inheritance of property he owned in conjunction with John Hart and others, including Hazard and Change Hill plantations.

  2. Deceased by 1807 when his estate, Change Hill, his coffee estate in St Mary, Jamaica, was registered in the Accounts Produce, "In the possession of William Peat Litt Esq. and the heirs of George Harrison deceased.
