Hi everyone, Judith sent me this and it was so interesting that I had to
share it with you. BTW if you try our BBS during the day on weekdays - it
may or may not be up - depending on what I am working on. As much as I
would wish to do genealogy all day, I really do have to work (ah shucks). I
do occassionally run certain apps that eat all the resources I have. Have
you noticed that the more computer power you have the more the programs seem
to want?
Anyway - here's something really interesting from Judith:
Hello,
I have just been enjoying your fantastic array of information which you
have compiled on the Harrison family. I tried to send a query to your
BBS but could not get it to answer. Since I enjoyed your page so much
thought I would write directly to you to tell you so. I will include my
query also.
I have the following information on my husband's great grandparents. I
would like to determine their ancestry and am hoping that the Harrison
researchers will be able to help me do that.

It is possible that the parents of Susie Isabel Harrison would be the
same as the people listed in the following article. This could explain
the birthplace of KS for her. Their marriage dates are correct for the
family even though several of the children are not listed in the
following article.
HISTORY OF JOHNSON CO., MO [No other citation copied]
Page 790:
"GEORGE W. HARRISON
Farmer, PO Knobnoster, was born in Johnson county, Missouri, April 9,
1840. He was educated in his native county, and attended a select
school at Hazel Hill for several terms. He entered the army in 1861,
answering the first three months call. He was afterwards appointed by
the government as wagon master on the plaines, served four years. In
1865 he was married to Miss Brunette Glars, a lady of culture and
refinement. In 1866 he settled on his present farm, containing 200
acres of well improved land, situated in section thirteen, range
twenty-four. He has two children: Belle and Addison M. Mr. and Mrs. H.
are both members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. Mr. H. is a
member of the Masonic fraternity, and has taken all of the degrees, and
at present holds the office of high priest of the chapter order at

I would appreciate any available help. TIA Judith Weeks Ancell
