Lee’s daughter, Elizabeth
“Betty” Morton (Harrison) Mead of Oxford, New York (north of Greene) said: “All
of the Harrisons had hotels in New York City, but my great grandfather [Richard
Harrison] was a sickly baby, he and his mother took the canal boat to Greene
and then traveled to McDonough Springs, which was then a health resort. The rest of the family finally moved to
Smithfield Flats. My great uncle,
Andrew, became bored with life in Smithville, where he worked in a harness
shop, and went to visit relatives in New York City, where he met Mary Catherine
Braisted and they were married. Eventually they returned to Smithville, where
he had a harness shop. He got quite a
bit of business from William Braisted, his wife’s
nephew, the New York City veterinarian.”
