Harrison Cemetery   (View Grave Layout)

The Harrison Cemetery is located on the North boundary of Amelia Island Plantation and there is an access easment located apporximately 600 feet South of Plantation Point Drive on the West side of A1A (First Coast Highway). The cemetery is fenced and locked however to prevent vandalism.

The burial ground is on the original Samuel Harrison Spanish Grant of 1793. Neither Captain Samuel Harrison (1737 -1818) nor his wife Isabel McQueen English Harrison has a monument here. However, one should remember that there is no local stone on Amelia Island and all such monuments have to be imported. Monuments made of wood have long since deteriorated.

In addition to Harrison family members buried in this cemetery, a re-burial of Indian remains found on the Dorion Dig are interred in one corner of the cemetery.

This is a private cemetery owned by Harrison descendents, and is not generally open to the public. If you wish to visit the cemetery, contact Mary M. Long at mbmlong@gmail.com, or call her at 865-548-6517. She is not a local resident, so any visit would have to be scheduled with her.
