    1. RE: Presidents
    2. Slade Anderson
    3. I have a great book called "America's Political Dynasties" by Stephen Hess and Published by Doubleday in 1966. It has a alot of information on the Presidents. Here's an excerpt from the Harrison section : " A decade after the first Harrison arrived in Virginia, probably about 1632, he ( Speaking of Benjamin Harrison ) was elected to the House of Burgesses, thus founding the longest unbroken line of politicians in American History. In each generation a Harrison would be elected to public office. The first five Benjamin Harrison's were part of the colony's ruling elite: all were elected to the House of Burgesses, one was its speaker, another sat on the Governor's council. The fifth Benjamin Harrison signed the Declaration of Independence; his son and great-grandson were Presidents; his great-great-great-grandson left the United States Congress in 1965." This book is a great resource if you can still find it ( I got mine at a book sale for $3.50 ) Another great place to look is Becky Bonner's "Harrison Genealogy Repository" at: http://moon.ouhsc.edu/rbonner/harintro.htm Slade Anderson Http://www.slade-anderson.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Carole Conrad [SMTP:casuco@yahoo.com] > Sent: Monday, August 23, 1999 7:30 AM > To: HARRISON-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Presidents > > > I am interested in the presidential lines. > > carole in nyc > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
