Subject: [VAFRANKL] William H, Harrison b abt 1809 Franklin Co, VA

My GGG-GF William Henry Harrison was born abt 1809 in Franklin Co, VA, he married Cynthia 'Sina' DILLON on 23 Oct 1826 in Franklin Co, VA. 'Sina' was born abt 1809 or 1810, also in Franklin County to William DILLON & Frances 'Frankie' Blankenship. About 1843 William & Sina, with their children moved to Cabell Co, VA (WV)

Their children were all born in Franklin Co, except the last 3 listed below;

OTIS b 1829,
CELIA b 1831,
ABIGAIL LUCINDA b 1833,
CATHERINE b 1835,
WILLIAM b 1837,
JOHN HENRY b 1839,
MARY b 1841,
JAMES,
COLUMBIA
Salina

I gave the children's names in case any of the unusual names were known to be used in any of the HARRISON FAMILIES of Franklin Co, VA during the 1700s.

I am trying to locate ANY leads for whom William Henry Harrison's PARENTS may have been.

I am willing to research any Harrison males (born between 1760-1780) that may have been the father of William. The Parents would have been living in Franklin County at the turn of the century 1800-1820 period at least.

Somewhere I heard that William's Father's name MAY have been BEN, but there is NOTHING to support this, IF it is correct ??, he could have been a Benjamin, a Reuben, a Zebulon....

SO you can see my quandary....I have searched the Harrison Repository Information, No LUCK! I have tried through DILLON contacts, NO LUCK! I have tried via gedcoms on LDS, Ancestry.com, Kindred Konnections, Rootsweb, NO LUCK! I have posted to Harrison Query boards on every major host for genealogy, NO LUCK!

All I am trying to do is get a lead, so I can start the research necessary to prove or disprove.

PLEASE I need HELP, ANY leads appreciated! Carrie Bias Hoffert hoffert@mindspring.com
