Posted on: Harrison Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Harrison?read=708 Surname: Harrison ------------------------- I have a Casper/Glasper Harrison who came to the US in the 1860's with a brother. I was told his brother moved west, and his name may have been John. Casper's father is listed as John and mother is unknown at this time. Casper joined the Civil War and married a Margaret LAWS. They resided in Bullskin Twp. PA. There first son was Mather Clarence Harrison. If this family sounds familiar please email me. thanks. Amy

I have asked for information about my line before, but since I have recently found some additional family members, I'll submit my information again. I'm trying to locate information about John Harrison, Sr., was born in VA and died in Ohio while saving his son, John, Jr., from a falling tree. I believe John, Sr., married to Rachel Price of Butler Co. Ohio, but I'm not certain. John Jr's other siblings were Sarah (Married to William Leach - Grant County Indiana) and Louis/Lewis who was born around 1808 or 1810 and died in Grant County (Fairmount) Indiana. I just recently found out that Lewis was born in Kentucky - not Ohio- Lewis was married to Elizabeth Searle. My new information is that Elizabeth had been married before. ( I don't know of her maiden name yet). She brought two daughters to her marriage with Lewis, Julia Ann and Lucy. Julia married Washington Payne, then John P. Helton and finally Adam Parkhurst. Lewis and Elizabeth had the following children together: John S. D. who married Elma Templeton (my line) and Luther S. Harrison who married Sarah Richards and then Emma Ailes, Lewis Harrison, Jr., Elijah Harrison and Rachel Harrison, who married Henry DeShaun/Shong (all were born in Grant County, Indiana). According to papers in the Grant County Historical Society, this Harrison line is reportedly closely related to the Presidents William Henry and Benjamin Harrison, but it seems all Harrison's are loosely related to these two! If anyone has information about a John Harrison who had children named Sarah, John, Jr. or Lewis, or any connection to the other lines, please let me know. Thank you. Becky Harrison Zepf

Rodger I am looking for the parents of Rachel Harrison who was born in 1808 and married Robert Talley in Cocke Co TN. do you know if she is connected to your line??? phebe morgan

I am looking to find a list of the children of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON and his wife, BETSEY GROVE. William was the son of James Harrison and Jennie (Jane) BELL Harrison of Allegheny Co., PA. Jennie was born in 1768. William Henry was their first child whose birth date was about 1786-1790. I found this family listed on the "Historic Pittsburgh" site on the Internet, and believe that Wm. Henry and Betsey (Elizabeth?) Harrison are my gg grandparents. I have a list of the siblings of my g grandfather, who I believe is their son. If I could match my list with a listing of their children it would open up the brick wall that I have been trying to get around! Or at least tell me whether I am on the right track. Anyone out there know of this family or have any suggestions how I might be able to find a list of their children? It seems that NOBODY is doing any research on this particular Harrison family. I'd appreciate any help you can give! Nancy in DE mailto:pianoteacher3@juno.com Rootsweb Sponsor

Posted on: Harrison Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Harrison?read=702 Surname: ------------------------- Hi I have thought for a long time that there must be some connection to the Harrison Family since both my grandfather (William Harrison Brashear) and his father had Harrison for their middle name notice you listed Brashear as one of your family names do you know of any connection.

Wait a minute - wow, LEFTWICH & Daniel Harrison - I know something might help. Betty sent me this: The Daniel Harrison in Limestone Co married Jane Leftwich. I haven't looked up to see when, but I will do that later. There is quite a bit about her descentants, around Mooresville. Superior Court & Circuit Court, Abstracts 1818-1820, p.225-227. (From Limestone Legacy, Summer 1883, Vol. 12, #2) PHELPHS SMITH vs JAMES HARRISON: On 4th Monday in October 1819, was filed a petition in the name of PHELPHS SMITH against JAMES HARRISON based on a note of hand to PHELPS SMITH for the sum of forty dollars in consideration of a parcel of pork bought of Smith & estimated 1000 lbs. Said Smith agreeing in case the pork did not holl ? (whole?) out that amount to make a proportionable deduction on the bond and to meet petitioner at Athens at the election for members to the convention to make payment...said Smith did not attend but shortly afterwards sued petitioner by a forthwith warrant about 20 miles from his place3 of residence...& petitioner not being able to attend & make his defense, judgement was rendered against him for the full amount although the pork did not make the quantity for which the bond was given by about 200 lbs. Petitioner prays for an award of a writ of certiarari to remove the action into the Circuit Court......Sworn the 24 Sept. 1819, know all men...that we JAMES HARRISON AND DANIEL HARRISON are firmly bound unto Phelps Smith in the penal sum of $500....dated the 8th day of October 1819...The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas by order of John W. Walker, Judge, this day made a petition of said James Harrison writs of certiarari are directed to be issued....The defendant failed to appear, the plaintiff supported his action by note of hand, it is therefore adjudged that the defendant pay to the plaintiff the sum of $41 principle and interest and also the further sum of $1.31-1/4 cost of suit this 21st day of August 1819....This cause having been continued and now...on the 1st Monday in September, 1822, came the parties by their attorneys and the plaintiff says he wishes no further to prosecute...the plaintiff recovers his cost in this behalf. Cynthia Harriett Harrison, dau of James b 1829 d 1899 in Union Co. AR, she is the aunt of Lura Porter Lindsay who had m. Judge Saxon there in 1893. Lura is the dau of Nancy Harrison (dau of James) and Zachariah Lindsay. There were other Harrisons listed under Land Records for Union Co. They were: Harrison, Augustus 1861 Daniel 1889 Garland 1906 (there was a Garland Alvis in Cullen, AL cousin of Zachariah Lindsay) George 1860 Gideon 1860 (Gideon Harrison-Rev Soldier in Limestone, Athens, AL) Lorenzo 1859 Nancy 1848 William 1860 Think a Martha WHITE was married to John CRAIG who came to Madison/Limestone in 1806 from E. TN and his dau Nancy m. Joseph Harrison in Old E. TN around what is now Marysville. Think Joseph is son of Gideon or near relation. Joseph's son Harvey m. Zilpha Bell in Limestone and this line picked up and moved to Missouri in 1829 along with some Craigs and Bells. Gideon 1762-1838 went to Murfreesboro, TN died there.

I have watched with great interest the discussion of the Battaile Harrisons as I really believe my line must tie into it. Becky Bonner has been trying to help me, but we just can't quite make the connection, so I am posting my information again and hope someone can help. My ancestor is Daniel White Harrison b. 2-20-1783 and married Jane Leftwich of Bedford Co., VA b. 8-16-1781. Daniel Harrison's Bible indicates the following: Battaile b. 4-16-1771 Josiah b. 6-21-1772 Nancy b. 2-2-1774 James b. 10-20-1775 Reuben b. 4-2-1777 John Ellis b. 3-5-1779 Charles b. 3-28-1781 Daniel White 2-20-1783 MY LINE! Betsey Ellis 1-20-1785 _____ Harden? b. 2-8-1787 (looks like Sally) Zachariah b. 10-2-1789 William ______ b. 1-20-1791 (possibly Rodney - looks like name ends in "dney") Melinde P. 2-20-1793 __Jems b. 3-21- 1784 (not sure if it should have been 1794) Anne b. 12-25-1798 ( the 8 is questionable) Also listed is what appears to be Tolley or Jolley Harrison b. 3-25-1751 Then the following: Departed this life: Charles 1-18-1790 John 3-15-1795 Betsey Ellis 11-17-1799 Nancy 1804 Sally 11-18 180? My line is then noted: Again, Daniel W. Harrison b. 2-20-1783 married 10-27-1808 Jinny Harrison b. 4-16-1781 (this is his wife, Jane Leftwich, daughter of Littleberry and Frances Hopkins Leftwich - both of their lines thoroughly researched, until it gets to this union!)) 1 - Fanny Hopkins Harrison b. 11-22-1809 MY LINE 2 - LiB Leftwich Harrison b. 2-11-1812 ( I believe the "LiB" to mean Littleberry because they did have a son named Littleberry) 3- Melinda Ellis b. 2-11-1814 4 - James Greenville Harrison b. 10-4- 1816 5 - Joel Leftwich Harrison b. 2-21-1819 6 - another Joel Leftwich Harrison b. 3-30-1821 7 - Elizer Jane Harrison b. 1-10-1824 (not positive on date) Another note indicates the death of an ____ Leftwich Harrison 5-25-1820 (possibly the first Joel Leftwich above) Obviously the name, Battaile, is most unusual and I have looked at the linea ge on a Battaile Harrison, son of Andrew, that is on several different genealogy sites. The fact that his wife, Frances White, was the daughter of a Daniel White, and my ancestor was Daniel White Harrison looks promising. I then looked at Battaile's son, John. Many of his children have far too many of the same names as the siblings of my Daniel. It's particularly interesting also that his wife's maiden name is Ellis and that name appears in several of Daniel's siblings names also. Could it be that Daniel was a grandson to John or could I possibly have a more complete listing of John's children? My line: Fanny Hopkins Harrison - she married James D. Blackburn who was born in TN but I have no other information on his family - their son, Joel C., born in TN, is my gggrandfather who settled in MS. (My maiden name is Blackburn) Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time, Mary
