Hannah Harrison Lee and Stratford Hall - no source

See addition to James River family section indicating Hannah built Stratford Hall. RS is needed for this to be included. Once provided it should be moved for context, perhaps to the Legacy section. Hoppyh (talk) 11:53, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

English Origin

I've been doing some research and found a link of the Harrison family back to Greystoke, England. I added what I've found and will add sources later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.82.3.52 (talk) 17:24, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, trying to figure out how I should cite this and I think I'll need to go add all the information to something like WikiTree and then I can cite WikiTree. What are you thoughts Hoppyh? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.82.3.52 (talk) 22:36, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiTree is not considered a reliable source. I’ve added tags noting the need for reliable sources. Strongly suggest you register with Wikipedia and continue your research. In the near future, the unsourced material should be moved to the talk p.until properly sourced. Hoppyh (talk) 14:23, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
