>>>>>>>> Subject: Battael Harrison I have a Crawford/Harrison connection and recently somebody asked me about Battael HARRISON, I did't have anything on him and trashed the query. About a week later I found a biog. on Battael HARRISON. If there are any other Crawfords out there that have a Harrison connection do you know who this party is? Sorry, it isn't exactly re subject but I've seen others grasping at straws on here. Thanks, Helen in Sacramento helen_silvey@macnexus.org <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< this is what I have on the Harrison / Crawford connection hope it helps.
