Parent-Proof notes for Rebecca Harrison
Ann Wilkerson contacted me in 2015 and had handwritten notes of her great Aunt who said Dorothy Harrison was Dorothy Revel and her husband was Burwell Harrison (a popular first name for Harrison men) and she named four daughters, three I knew about plus Rebecca who married Welton and lived in Emporia.
That led to a number of important finds awhile researching Rebecca in closing that her parents were Dolly and Dick Harrison.

My Comments notes for Rebecca Harrison
1. Rebecca B Harrison married John W Welton 18 Jan 1842 in Greensville Co, VA. (Ancestry.com Virginia Select Marriages 1785-1840)
2. R B Welton, female, born abt 1818 d. 1 Feb 1893 in Greensville Co, VA. Her husband was J W Welton. Her parents were Dick and Dolly Harrison. I'm sure this is Rebecca, she was mostly Rebecca B in Census and her husband was John W. Her age in Census variously indicated a birth of 1820-1821. She was present in the 1880 Census, not in the 1900 Census.
She said in 1880 her father had been born in Virginia and her mother in North Carolina.
So, I think it is proven Dorothy was Dorothy Revel and she married Richard Harrison.
