The Place that is now Harrison was the southernmost allowance of the 15,308-acre (23.919 sq mi; 61.95 km) land assent awarded to William Sandford in 1668. When that consent was estranged in 1671 amid Sandford and his uncle, Nathaniel Kingsland of Barbados, Sandford’s 5,000-acre (2,000 ha) share included Harrison. While Sandford and his family conventional a plantation on the northern part of his tract, there is no evidence they developed any significant share of Harrison. Upon his death in 1691, Sandford’s house passed to his wife, Sarah Sandford (née Whartman). Upon her death c. 1719, she passed most of the land, including Harrison, to her son William (c. 1670–1733). In 1729, William transferred the southern parts of his upland to three of his sons, John, Robert and Peter, each receiving a 300-acre (120 ha) lot that included a share of Harrison’s upland. John and Robert sold their lots to members of the Schuyler associates in 1733 and 1736, respectively, and migrated westward, John to Newark and Robert to Pine Brook. The disposition of Peter’s lot is not known, but no other record of him is found in or near Harrison.
