Summary

Refugees are not new to Hull. The Harrisons were Loyal Americans, originally from Rhode Island.

A wall plaque to Richard Acklom Harrison (buried in London) and his sister Elizabeth (in the floor) mentions his service to Hull Customs – but not his career in Customs in Boston, Mass, during the build-up to hostilities in the 1770s.

Other Loyal Americans settled in Beverley – including John Harris Cruger and Gen. Oliver de Lancey.
