HELP - I found some more info (confusing) on Luke HARRISON. this paragraph in the Harrison Heritage MUST be referring to the same family though we don't have this son Willie in our records. There are some conflicts in the names of the children and much conflict on places of birth for Luke and his children with the LDS records. But then again ... perhaps there are two Luke Ray HARRISONs being confused here! What is doubly perplexing is the marriage place for Luke and Martha HARRIS. anyone with info .... please ... can you help us? Their connection to BAILEY makes this line particulary interesting ... not to mention the TILLMAN naming pattern - remembering the TILLMANs in Brunswick Co., VA and AL :-) Our records: Luke Ray HARRISON, 1783. Born on 26 Feb 1790 in Wake Co., NC.[122]; SC??? died on 6 Sep 1873 in Killen\Florence, Lauderdale Co., AL.[122] Residence: Wake Co., NC, Lauderdale Co. Killen, AL. References: See:.[24],[92] Note that the IGI and LDS indicates that Luke was b. in SC. The following was found in the Harrison Heritage[1003, p. 517] that must be regarding this family: "WILLIE TILLMAN HARRISON, first husband of HELEN HAM who was born 1842, Columbia, TN, daughter of J. D. and MARY HELEN (GUTHRIE) HAM, both of Giles County, TN and later of Lauderdale County, AL. WILLIE TILLMAN HARRISON was son of LUKE HARRISON born NC ca 1789 who had other sons: MARTIN; MARION; and JOHN TYLER HARRISON. LUKE HARRISON married MARY (PATTY) __________, and his brother, __________HARRISON married MARY HARRIS of Virginia. JOHN TYLER HARRISON born SC ca 1811-1814, married his first cousin, MARY HARRISON, born ca 1811-1814. She was the daughter of MARY HARRIS above, and the sister of Luke.
