Surnames: Harrison Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jhh.2ACIB/5583 Message Board Post: Would like to find any information concerning the name HARRISON which relates to the Battles of Sumpter, Marion,Camden and the Cowpens. I am looking for a Harrison who was a veteran of Sumpter and Marion and a hero of Camden and the Cowpens. This bit of information comes from the obit of one LUDOWICK HARRISON b. 1797 North Carolina d. 1891 Illinois. The family moved to East Tennesse ( Maybe around Cocke or Greene County)when he was a mere lad . HIs father was born in Virginia, his mother In North Carolina. He married in Nashville about the mid 1820's and started a family . By 1840 he and his family move to Illinois. We have no idea of who his parents or siblings are and are hoping this clue could lead us to them. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who could help with this information.
