Re: Oxford, AL Harrisons



Hi, Sorry dont have anything on Tyree, but will add this info to the data base.

I received another query on a Wiliam Benjamin Harrison, who migrated to
Oxford, AL.
Appreciate any input.  happy huntin, josephine.

"Wonder if this is descendant of Benjamin Harrison and Elizabeth Wilbourne
of Buckingham Co, (Both died 1811) leaving minor child Benjamin Wilbourne
who was raised by sister Nancy Ann Harrison Lewis in Pittsylvania Co, Va.
Benjamin Wilbourne married Mary Vawter and had son William Benjamin
Harrison b. 1831.  He moved to Tn, and then apparently on to Miss/Ala.  He
died about 1890 I believe.
Just a thought since name appears the same."
