Many people claimed land in Ohio shortly after the territory was
opened. The Harrisons were no exception. Two families who were known to
travel together were Bazil Harrison m/ Martha Stilwell and Joseph Harrison
m/ Bersheba Oglesby. Bazil's family has many ties to Clark Co., OH and
Joseph's family is closely associated with Union Co., OH.
The information below indicates other Harrisons also have ties to
Clark and Union Counties. Could this indicate a closer tie between
the other families and the Bazil/Joseph clan? Bazil is certainly a
son of William (father of Zeph. lately the subject of much discussion
here.) and his second wife Worlenda Davis.

these Harrisons lived in close proximity to each other.
