    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harrison, Smith, Matthews Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jhh.2ACIB/4788 Message Board Post: I'm looking for descendants of William and Sophia W. (SMITH) HARRISON. They had the following children: Trent E., Dabney O., Mary D., Kiturah J., Abner, Benjamin, Sophia W., and Missouri W. William also had sons named Theodorick who served in the War of 1812 in 62 Reg't (Selden's) Virginia Militia and William Henry. Trent E. married three times and moved to Nottoway and then Dinwiddie counties and lived through the 1860 census. Sophia W. (my greatgreatgrandmother,) married Nathaniel MATTHEWS, Jr. and moved to Henderson co KY about 1840 where she died sometime after the 1880 census. I have been unable to trace the other children. Their mother died in 1824, leaving a will. William HARRISON, died in Prince Edward co, in 1822, leaving a will, also. It is believed this William is the son of William HARRISON of the 1765 Prince Edward will and Mary (possibly GRAY) HARRISON, who died in 1811 in Prince Edward co also. Any help with this family would be much appreciated.
