Draft:John Thomas Harrison

The Advocate should link here

several interesting subjects here: Grandison and his family. A printer apparently had a hard time joining the printer's union? at oeast there was debate.. Family from Nova Scotia and his aunt reportedly boarded African American students in Cambridge (Harvard?) He had a couple of newspapers including the Boston Advocate. Published with a Powell. He moved to Cambridge and the paper seems to have become the Cambridge Advocate. J. Thomas Harrison became its publisher. There also appear to be links to the Eureka Co-Operative Bank if I'm not mistaken. I think through board and other ties? One article notes support for Cambridge Advocate from its treasurer (also founder?)?
