Maybe I'm not a good resercher, because I'm having such a hard time locating any of the children of Peyton Randolph Harrison and Elizabeth Mease Barclay. I think I did locate Robert Peyton Harrison in the 1850 Logan Co. KY census (b. VA, age 43, a physician), but that was the only child I found. I should've been able to locate Louisa Ann Harrison, who according to Peyton R.'s will, was married to [Austin] Caldwell, but I couldn't. I understand that Robert Peyton and Louisa were the only children mentioned in Peyton Randolph Harrison's will, so maybe the other children had died. But if Jabez was a child, he was not yet deceased. I was doubly glad to hear from you, because I'd been trying to find an e-mail address for the Logan Co. KY Genealogical Society. (It's so much easier to use e-mail.) I'd heard that the LCKGS has a lot of information on Peyton Randolph Harrison & family. Could you give me their e-mail address, or would you suggest that I write to you personally, either by e-mail or "snail mail"? Or will this query on the forum suffice? As I think I mentioned briefly before, I'm trying to find out whether Jabez Harrison, who was called a son in the 1822 Madison Co. VA will of George Harrison (and which son signed off on his inheritance later, all documented), is the same Jabez Harrison of Madison Co. VA who married Elizabeth Taylor in Orange Co. VA. The latter Jabez has been claimed by a couple of researchers of the family of Peyton Randolph Harrison who base their claim on Jabez's IN obit. I wonder if the parents in that obit were an error so am trying to study all Peyton Randolph Harrison's children, especially those who were alive at the time of his will. On Genealogy.com I looked in Genealogies of VA Families III, Fl-Ha, Harrison of James River, p. 771 (Baltimore - Genealogical Publishing Co. 1981) & found: "52. PEYTON 6 HARRISON (Carter Henry 5) married Miss Barclay and removed to Kentucky. He has descendants but efforts to obtain any detailed information in regard to them has been unsuccessful." Based on this, I think I'm not the only person who's had trouble finding information of Peyton Randolph Harrison's descendants. Some of us descendants of George Harrison have put a lot of time & research into this. Any advice, addresses, or information you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Elinore
