NATHANIEL HARRISON married Mary Young, nee Cary, (b. 1678), and settled at Brandon in 1720 on the James River. Mary Cary was proposed to by George Washington in the drawing room at Carter's Grove, home of Robert (King) Carter. It is reported that she refused him, and later as she watched the triumphant Continental Army enter Williamsburg after the Yorktown surrender and beheld her rejected suitor heading so much glory, she was overcome with chagrin and fainted in her husband's arms. Nathaniel Harrison owned seven thousand acres of land at Brandon and built the oldest part of the house soon after he purchased the plantation. He was a Burgess and a Councilor, as well as a Naval Officer of the Lower James, County Lieutenant of Surry and Prince George and finally Auditor General for the Colony. He and his wife, Mary had seven children, of whom Nathaniel Harrison, 2nd, inherited Brandon and built the present house.
