I have a William H Harrison born about 1839GA; son of Jeremiah M Harrison & Lucinda "Caroline" Lee. The only big discrepancy I see (so far) is Jeremiah was born in NC and Lucinda either in SC or NC; however, experience tells me the 1880 Census often lists parents' birth places incorrectly! William H Harrison was living with Jeremiah & Lucinda for the 1860 Union County, GA Federal Census - age 20. That presents a problem since his son J. F. was born (according to the 1880 census) 1859 in TX. Again, I take ages on the census to be less than reliable! At least one of Jeremiah & Lucinda's children (Mitchell Alexander Harrison) ended up in TX. Your William H Harrison's wife on the 1880 Census is listed as Emily - his 2nd wife? She would have been 10 at J. F.'s birth - a bit young, even for the Harrison clan! Precinct 1, Rains County, Texas - Page 125C Wm H.
