  A native of Southampton [sic*] County, he was the son of the late Talbot H.

moving here three years ago.  He was a retired contractor and the husband of 
the late Mrs. Eva Virginia Harrison.

Washington; and Mrs. Robert A. Jernigan, of Norfolk; one step-son, Stephen

He shares a gravestone with his wife & step-daughter Bennett Wilkinson. 

A photo of his gravestone - added by Steve Poole - is posted with 
   Find a Grave Memorial #92757686. 

D.Cert. 19746 (Portsmouth #511) gives b. Southampton Co., son of Talbot H. & 
  Sarah F. (EDWARDS) HARRISON. 

His Social Security application Oct 1947 also gives his mother as Sarah F. 

Rather, his mother was Mary Frances (EDWARDS) HARRISON. 

The family appeared as "Harriss" in the 1860 in Eastern Dist., Isle of Wight 
   Co.; enumerated 5 Sep 1860; "M.N." age 4 months.  I see no indication the 
   family ever lived in Southampton Co. 

His father was a Confederate veteran, having served as a private in Co. D, 
  16th VA Infantry.
