He was the community's first historian.[2] Born in Bath, England,[3] his family moved to a farm north of Richmond Hill in 1843.[4] After the death of his father a mere nine months after the family arrived in Canada, the family moved into the Richmond Hill community. Harrison opened a saddle and harness maker's shop in Richmond Hill in 1856.[5] In Richmond Hill, Harrison took an active role in society. He was involved in organising the community's first fire brigade. He was a founding member of the Richmond Hill Mechanics' Institute and Literary Society. Harrison closed his shop in 1908. Harrison was elected reeve of the village of Richmond Hill in 1874.[6] He served on the Richmond Hill Village Council only a single year, and was replaced in 1875 by William Trench.
