Hello everyone,
I have been going through my old letters files from the 1960's and gleaning bits of information that didn't make sense then, but does now. I found the following that does not fit into my line, but might help someone else. The letter was from Carl E. Ikard of
Cyril, OK and dated June 19, 1968.
"Thomas Harrison was born in Fenby, Yorkshire, England in 1695, married Hannah
Morrison. They had: John, Benjamin, Thomas, Jr., Samuel, Daniel and James, all born in England. Thomas and Hannah and family settled in Maryland after their parents died in England.
"John married in Maryland to a Miss Malone - date and place unknown now. To them were born: Thomas, Samuel, John, Benjamin, Daniel and James (same as above Thomas' children)
"Thomas born 1765 in VA d. Callaway Co., MO married Margaret Billops
Children: Edward, John, Thomas, Samuel, James, Elizabeth, Sarah and Polly.
"Thomas married 2nd Nancy Cramley of VA
Children: Nancy, Margaret, William D.
"Thomas married 3rd Jane Childress of VA
Children: Cynthia, Andrew L., Eliza J., and Benjamin. (Andrew and Benjamin were bachelors).
"Of the above Elizabeth married Anthony Ikard and Nancy married Abner Harrison, a cousin.
" This entire family moved to Calloway County, MO in 1819 and settled on Booneslick Rd. from Tenn and VA."
Hope this provides a clue for someone.
