History
William Harrison and John Legas became partners in an iron founding and gun founding business on 29 September 1741. They owned a number of foundries in East Sussex, and dealt largely with the Board of Ordnance at Woolwich, where Samuel Remnant was their agent. On William Harrison's death in January 1744/5, his share in the partnership passed to his executors, Samual Remnant and John Legas, as trustees for his sons Andrew and John Harrison.
