    1. HARRISON Family of Poy Sippi & Tustin
    2. Been a while since I sent a query to the list, so thought I'd give it a try. My HARRISON's begin in Waushara County in the early 1860's on a homestead between Poy Sippi and Tustin about a mile or less from Lake Poygan, when Samuel Aaron Harrison and his wife, the former Elizabeth Ruth Tackaberry, emigrated from Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada to Wisconsin. They had earlier emigrated from County Wexford, Ireland in 1854, and were married on Christmas Day, 1854 in the farmhome of one of Elizabeth's sisters near Coaticook, Quebec, Canada, just across the border from Vermont. They had several children: Hannah Elizabeth, b. 1856, Coaticook, Quebec, Canada; Martha Jane, b. 1858 in Coaticook; Susan Marie, b. 1860, Smith Falls, Ontario; Samuel Aaron Jr., b. Jan 30, 1861,Smith Falls, Ontario; George William, b. 1863, Smith Falls, Ontario; Benjamin Edward Tackaberry Harrison, b. 1866 on the family farm in Waushara County, WI; and my Grandfather, Cadwallader Joseph Edmund Harrison, b. Dec. 22, 1867, also on the farm in Waushara County, WI, as described above between Poy Sippi & Tustin near Lake Poygan. Most of the family are buried in Poy Sippi Cemetery in Waushara County, WI. Further details available if anyone has any questions. Sincerely, with all good wishes, /S/ Jim Carey Washington, DC Great Grandson of Samuel Aaron Harrison & Elizabeth Ruth Tackaberry of County Wexford, Ireland
