Our great grandfather was William A. Harrison who died in Waterville, MN I haven't found what the A stands for or where in England he came from. Our grandfather was his son Eugene Jasper Harrison who had a marble and granite business in Marshall, MN William was born in 1813 in England and died in Waterville on February 25, 1901. in 1850 and 1860 he and his family were in Wisconsin. In looking at genealogy information on the internet I often see family names but it is difficult to find connections. Keep on searching. A lot of information sometimes comes up unexpectedly.
