We have a great deal of this line in the Repository with one version of Ben
I father online if anyone wants to cruise. We have many of his descendants
- 595 of them ... and would very much like to complete all the descendants
of Ben I on down ... especially Ben the signer. While there may be a few
errors (particularly in the Carter line), most is correct to the best of my
knowledge. It seems that everyone and his brother thought they were related
to the Pres line ... most is likely not true though I will say for sure many
of Ben the signers descendants have not been traced - or at least that we
can find. Nor is it really clear as to how many children he had. They were
very poor record keepers. We also have the story of both our James and Eliz
to be first cousins to Wm Henry Harrison pres... looking pretty doubtful
that that is the case. I'm sure many of you have heard that in your family
as well. One researcher speculated that when Wm Henry H was running for
office, he sent campaign mail to all Harrisons saying something like: "Hi
cousin, won't you vote for me in the coming election?"
If you know of errors in the Repository - please let us know. and of course
any details, additions etc. are APPRECIATED!
