      In the Minutes of the Presbyterian Church of Groveland (organized 1809), the name of Abraham Harrison appears as a ruling elder from 1818 to 1824. He and John Harrison were trustees in 1829 when a new house of worship was built. One of the articles of agreement between the builders and the trustees read as follows:

      "The said party of the second part (viz: trustees,) agrees to deliver all the material on the spot where the said building is to stand; to ask the hands and furnish the liquor for raising of the building and be at the expense of the same." [2]
