Samuel Richard Harston was born in 1784, in London, Middlesex, England. He married Catherine Cooke on 24 March 1808, in Minster, Kent, England, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 3 sons and 1 daughter. He lived in Arundel, Sussex, England, United Kingdom in 1861.
English (Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire): habitational name from Harston in Leicestershire, from Old English hār ‘gray; boundary’ + stān ‘stone’. Some bearers may take their name from Harston in Cambridgeshire, but it is unclear if this name has survived to the present day. The placename probably derives from an Old English personal name Herel (genitive Herles) + Old English tūn ‘farmstead, estate’.
