"Mrs. Elizabeth Radcliff Harrison came to Warrensville October 1832. She was the mother of two daughters and three sons. Her son William Harrison, who is still living in the town, aged eighty-six years, came to Warrensville the year previous and bought the house in which he still lives. They left their home in the Isle of Mann in 1828. When they arrived it was all woods except a small plot around the little log house. Deer and wild turkeys were numerous. There was a spring a short distance from the house that supplied the house with water. Deer wold often be seen going there to drink. A well-worn path on the hillside made by the deer showed that it was a favorite drinking place. Flocks of wild turkeys would be seen on the sunny side of the woods."

Agnes immigrated 1841. It seems possible that the family lived for a while in Canada (WHERE ?), if the Thomas Radcliffe living with Agnes in 1860 is her son. William Radcliff died, and Agnes lived for a while with Eleanor Radcliff and Thomas Caley in Warrensville.
