Ancestor of U.S. Presidents' William Henry Harrison and BenjaminHarrison.
"Eminent lawyer and assisted in the revision of the laws of the Colony,1700; served as Treasurer, Attorney General and Speaker of the House ofBurgesses. He was a local supporter of the Established Church. The publicerected a monument to his memory in the Old Westover Churchyard. He became the owner of Berkeley, following the death of Giles Bland, son ofJohn Bland, the previous owner, when he was hanged by Governor Sir William Berkeley in 1676, after participating in the Rebellion under Bacon. Although he was only three years old at the time, it is probable that his father, purchased it for him while he was still young. Berkeley Hundred was comprised of about eight thousand acres on the James River in Virginia, and was a land grant of the London Company, in 1618, to Sir William Throckmorton, Sir George Yeardley and Richard Berkeley and John Smith of Nibley. It was named for Richard Berkeley.
In 1619, the "goodship Margaret" of Bristol sailed for Virginia and brought thirty-five settlers to the new Town and Hundred of Berkeley. In 1622, a terrible massacre took place and nine people were brutally slain at Berkeley. For several years, thereafter, the plantation lay abandoned, until William Tucker and others got possession of it in 1636, and it became the property of John Bland, a merchant of London.
He died at age thirty-seven in 1710, and his tomb may be seen today at the site of Old Westover Church, on the river near Westover. The inscription on the tomb is in Latin and Greek. His wife, Elizabeth Burwell, is buried beside him and her tomb bears the Family Coat of Arms. He apparently suffered from gout, and may have had a heart attack following a game of cricket he played in March from which he never fully recovered.
Benjamin III left only one male heir - Benjamin IV."."

"Benjamin Harrison succeeded Bartholomew Fowler as Attorney-General in 1702. He was the grandson of Benjamin Harrison, the emigrant to Virginia, and grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was born in 1673, and died April 10, 1710. He lived at Berkely, up James River, which place was forty miles from the Capitol. On account of the distance and the smallness of the pay, which was only forty pounds, Harrison soon resigned the office. In 1705 he was treasurer and speaker of the Houseof Burgesses. There is recorded in the Council Journal an order giving him access to the records, as he intended to write a history of Virginia. Doubtless his early death prevented his intention from being consummated. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Major Lewis Burwell, of Gloucester county, and died April 10, 1710. He was probably educated in one of the law schools of England."
