| Personal Notes: |
|
"Jane Howe, aged 14, married master mariner John Harrison aged 30. Harrison retired from the British Navy at the age of 20 to take command of a fleet of trading vessels owned by his father. With his father and aunt Capt. Harrison sailed from the U.K. in 1883 in a 40-ton ship. In the Bay of Biscay his aunt became so frightened that she made them turn back. "A fatal accident occurred before the completion of the voyage demonstrated that her fears were not without foundation. One night, during a violent storm, his father was washed overboard and, as it was pitch dark and the waves 'mountains high', it was impossible to rescue him, and he was lost".
The Age 27 Jul 1869 "DEATH OF CAPTAIN HARRISON. Captain John Harrison, one of the earliest settlers of this colony, died at Williamstown on Wednesday night of bronchitis, in the sixty seventh year of his age. For some time previous he had suffered from asthma, and a few days ago he caught a severe cold, which aggravated his complaint ; but it was only within a few hours of his dissolution that he or his attendants knew that he was beyond the hope of recovery. Captain Harrison emigrated from England to Sydney about thirty-six yours ago, and was engaged for some time as master of a vessel. He then settled himself on shore, and in 1838 he and his family came overland to Port Phillip, and bought a station on the River Plenty, from which locality he afterwards removed to the upper Wimmera. He was known to his friends as a man of great enterprise and indomitable perse- verance. The part he took during the agitation for separation in 1850 and 1851, aud the refusal of the colonists to admit convicts into Victoria, will be remembered by such as were in the colony at that poriod. He was also prominent in advocating the diggers' rights and in frustra- ting the attempt made to impose a heavy licence fee upon the goldfields in 1854. Captain Harrison went to reside at Williamstown in 1859, having accepted employment on the Viotorian Railways as station master, an office which he retained until his failing health compelled him to resign. About three or four months ago one of his sons was accidentally drowned, and the disaster appeared to have given the old man a severe shook. The deceased was a native of Cumberland (England), and in his younger days had served as an officer in the British navy. He was married in Sydney, and he has left a widow and several grown up sons and daughters. The funeral of the deceased gentleman will take place at Williamstown on Saturday afternoon." |
