description: "Charles Harrison was a Brigadier General in the Continental Army. He was born into the Harrison family of Virginia. His brother was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and his nephew, William Henry Harrison, later became the America’s 9th president. At the beginning of the American Revolutionary War he became lieutenant in a company of artillery from Virginia. When the state expanded its small artillery battalion into a regiment in November 1776, Harrison was appointed commander with the rank of colonel. Initially named Harrison's Continental Artillery Regiment, the unit was renamed the 1st Continental Artillery Regiment in August 1779. He joined George Washington's main army in time to fight at Monmouth. In 1780 he led his gunners at Camden and the following year he commanded Nathanael Greene's artillery at Hobkirk's Hill."
