On page 332, of the same book, "The office of William Harrison and Thomas Warren, was evidently that of First Lieutenant of the Spottsylvania. Militia."
"Andrew Harrison died in the fall of the year 1752. At Orange County Court, November 22, 1753, on motion of William Johnson, certificate was granted him for obtaining letters of administration on the estate of Andrew Harrison, deceased, Elizabeth, widow of the said Andrew Harrison, and Battaile Harrison, the heir-at-law, having refused.

The will of Andrew Harrison, Jr., has not been found, but it is probable that he did not leave one, since he deeded most of his lands to his sons during his lifetime, as will be seen in the record of the lives of his sons.

i. BATTAILE HARRISON, of Amherst County, Virginia; married Frances, surname unknown. . . .
