Some of my Harrison line went to Oxford, AL and may connect to the
Harrisons several of you are looking for.

Any connection to your Oxford,AL Harrison?
Can anyone connect to Robert & William Harrison in Surry Co, NC 1774?
Robert Harrison appears to have gone to Spartanburg with the
Hamptons and Harrisons who were the son of John Harrison & Sarah
Daniel. Was he related?
