Harrison-785 and Harrison-8614 appear to represent the same person because: Frances's marriage to Arthur Harrison is in Southside Virginian & says Arthur's birth (1720/21) is in BPR [Bristol Parish Register]. WikiTree guidelines say to use the "new style" date in old/new constructions (which his birth is... the new year started in March).
