Hi all,
Anyone with ANY HARRISON - ROUSSEAU or LOVELL marriage records or info -
Please jump in and help us sort this out. Again, this seems odd to me that
someone this famous, with recollections of his father's relatives would be
WRONG about who he is related to. I know there are a LOT of rumors about
relatives to Pres. Harrison ... but are they really all wrong? Or do we
just not have their lineages correctly sorted out. This has bugged be for
eons. Are the KY rumors spreading from Ben Harrison who m. Mary Newall -
pioneer in KY? Even his own grandson thought he was from Ben the Signer
line. Or is it one of the descendants of Carter Henry HARRISON who
migrated to KY (or others?)? HELP!
I got the following very interesting message from Jane Ellis:
