Thanks, Barbara Fowler >> Barbara, As far as I know the poison story has not been documented. All I know is that my grandmother said President Harrison was "some kind of cousin" to her grandmother and that the family said he was poisoned. I believe my grandmother was relating what she had heard, but I think if he was closely enough related for the family to know that, she would have known what kind of cousin he was. She also said the family called him "Old Tip" but then, so did the rest of the country as far as I know. There may have been a relationship, but I sincerely doubt that my ancestor knew him personally. It's always fun to speculate though! My ancestor was Terzah or Thirsa Harrison of Belmont Co., OH. She married William Dawson there in 1822. Her father was Moses Harrison of Belmont Co.....don't know where he was born. Susan
