I have watched with great interest the discussion of the Battaile Harrisons as I really believe my line must tie into it. Becky Bonner has been trying to help me, but we just can't quite make the connection, so I am posting my information again and hope someone can help. My ancestor is Daniel White Harrison b. 2-20-1783 and married Jane Leftwich of Bedford Co., VA b. 8-16-1781. Daniel Harrison's Bible indicates the following: Battaile b. 4-16-1771 Josiah b. 6-21-1772 Nancy b. 2-2-1774 James b. 10-20-1775 Reuben b. 4-2-1777 John Ellis b. 3-5-1779 Charles b. 3-28-1781 Daniel White 2-20-1783 MY LINE! Betsey Ellis 1-20-1785 _____ Harden? b. 2-8-1787 (looks like Sally) Zachariah b. 10-2-1789 William ______ b. 1-20-1791 (possibly Rodney - looks like name ends in "dney") Melinde P. 2-20-1793 __Jems b. 3-21- 1784 (not sure if it should have been 1794) Anne b. 12-25-1798 ( the 8 is questionable) Also listed is what appears to be Tolley or Jolley Harrison b. 3-25-1751 Then the following: Departed this life: Charles 1-18-1790 John 3-15-1795 Betsey Ellis 11-17-1799 Nancy 1804 Sally 11-18 180? My line is then noted: Again, Daniel W. Harrison b. 2-20-1783 married 10-27-1808 Jinny Harrison b. 4-16-1781 (this is his wife, Jane Leftwich, daughter of Littleberry and Frances Hopkins Leftwich - both of their lines thoroughly researched, until it gets to this union!)) 1 - Fanny Hopkins Harrison b. 11-22-1809 MY LINE 2 - LiB Leftwich Harrison b. 2-11-1812 ( I believe the "LiB" to mean Littleberry because they did have a son named Littleberry) 3- Melinda Ellis b. 2-11-1814 4 - James Greenville Harrison b. 10-4- 1816 5 - Joel Leftwich Harrison b. 2-21-1819 6 - another Joel Leftwich Harrison b. 3-30-1821 7 - Elizer Jane Harrison b. 1-10-1824 (not positive on date) Another note indicates the death of an ____ Leftwich Harrison 5-25-1820 (possibly the first Joel Leftwich above) Obviously the name, Battaile, is most unusual and I have looked at the linea ge on a Battaile Harrison, son of Andrew, that is on several different genealogy sites. The fact that his wife, Frances White, was the daughter of a Daniel White, and my ancestor was Daniel White Harrison looks promising. I then looked at Battaile's son, John. Many of his children have far too many of the same names as the siblings of my Daniel. It's particularly interesting also that his wife's maiden name is Ellis and that name appears in several of Daniel's siblings names also. Could it be that Daniel was a grandson to John or could I possibly have a more complete listing of John's children? My line: Fanny Hopkins Harrison - she married James D. Blackburn who was born in TN but I have no other information on his family - their son, Joel C., born in TN, is my gggrandfather who settled in MS. (My maiden name is Blackburn) Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time, Mary
