Posted on: Harrison Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Harrison?read=594 Surname: James Harrison, Lydis Bottoms Harrison, Abner Harrison, Mary Jestis, Rachel Ann Harrison, Melvin Russell Jones ------------------------- My ancestor Abner B Harrison was one of the older children of James A. Harrison b 1777 Prince Edward co. VA and died in Laurel Co. KY. In 1797 he mar Lydia Bottoms in Jefferson Co, TN. The family apparently went to Ky after marriage because Abner gives Ky as his birthplace. Abner mar lst Mary Jestes or Justis and had a large family. After her death he remarried and died in Saline Co. Arkansas where he left a will in Oct 1855. My GreatGrandmother was Rachel Ann Harrison his youngest child born by the first wife. He had no children by his 2nd wife, but she did have children when she came into the marriage. His son Isaac Harrison was well known in Arkansas and was in the Confederate service. I believe he married a Lindsay. Rachel Ann mar Melvin Russell Jones and came to TX with the relatives who were named Cain. They settled in Travis Co. near Austin. Rachel Ann went back to Arkansas several times to visit her Harrison relatives. Would like to hear from anyone interested in this line. I would like to find proof of the father of James A. Harrison.
