Date of Death and burial place uncertain. Likely to be in the Hawkesbury/Windsor/Colo District of NSW about 1840, as James had four children who at their marriages- 1. all named James Harrison & his wife Catharine [date of their marriage Sep 1829]as their parents, 2. specified ages which meant they were born in 1830s.
