Hi from another new "rooter" on this e-mail system.
Thanks to Becky Bonner for helping me get into this group! I'm just
getting started!
My brick wall was encountered with my G-grandfather, William Henry
Harrison (Sr.), as I only have reference to his dob and pob from records
he, and other family members created years later. Here is most of what I
have:
Wm Henry Harrison b. 22-Jan-1846 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co, PA.
m. 9-Mar-1864 in Otto, Clark Co, IN to Lydia Stoner b.15-Mar-1843 in
Clark Co, IN.
They had the following 12 children:
James A. Harrison b. 27-Aug-1866 in Bethlehem Twp, Clark Co, IN
Ralph M. Harrison b. 23-Nov-1867 in Bethlehem Twp, Clark Co, IN (twin-1)

12-Dec-1863 to 18-Nov-1865, when he was discharged at Vicksburg, MS.
Wm Sr. d. 12-Sep-1916 in North Madison, Jefferson Co, IN and was buried

Sources of data on parents:

1900 US Census of Hanover Twp, Jefferson Co, IN
Copy of Marriage Lic; Death Certificates; Civil War Widow's Pension
Application #689,876; Family Bible in posession of a granddaughter;
Obituary in The Madison Courier, Wed, 13-Sep-1916; Cemetery records of
Jefferson Co, IN compiled by DAR in 1941; LDS IGI fiche - Indiana, ver
1988, page 7,835; Jeffersonville, Clark Co, IN Court House Marriage Book
"H", page 348.
Other sources of data on children & their families available.
One granddaugter and her son have been researching for 12 years and have
been stopped at the same wall. As members of the LDS Church, they have
looked far and wide within those records.
I have data on 318 descendants of Wm Sr., and I know there is more.
I have data on 360 descendants of Benjamin Harrison I (the presidential
line).
I have data on 121 descendants of David (or Davis) Harrison.
I have data on 49 descendants of Simeon Harrison.
Plus a few more small groups not tied to any of the above.
