Hello MK, Thank you for the posting on the Harrison names in the GA Land Lottery. It was especially sharp of you to note the ones with given names of Harrison! Some of those caught my attention immediately. I am especially interested in the Benjamin Harrison Royster and the Terrell Harrison Royster. I wonder if any of you Harrison researchers have any idea of an intermarriage of the Harrisons and Royster family. My line of Roysters also has the Harrison name; my great-great-grandfather was William Harrison Royster, son of Henry Royster and his wife Frances Draper of Mecklenburg County, VA and Person County, NC. Henry Royster's parents were Joseph Royster and Nancy Ann Wilkins, of Charles City County, VA and Mecklenburg County, VA. Since my William Harrison was born in 1794, this was too early for the family to have been influenced by President William H. Harrison, as a namesake.
