9. Columbia J Harrison b-1846, Cabell Co, VA (WV) married Obediah Ward
10. Salena R. Harrison b-1849, Cabell Co, VA (WV) married UNKNOWN
I have the lineage for the DILLON and Blankenship side of the family..... I am desperate to find the ancestry of William Henry Harrison the Father of this family. Further info I have from an article published by a descendent of the son, #1. Otis Harrison states the following "Family founded in VA, by Benjamin Harrison, born in London, father of Benjamin Harrison the "Signer" and that MY William Henry Harrison was a namesake and cousin of President William Henry Harrison.
I do have a photo of My William and he strongly resembles the Presidents.....But I have been unable to find any further info for my William as regards his birth or parentage.
I have also gone through all descendent lineage of the original Benjamin Harrison of England, following each mail child (in each generation) until I reach the period of 1810 with no luck. As many of those branches are not complete, I have not been able to locate my William's parents with that backdoor approach either. He may be a part of that family line and is from one of the branches that I have been unable to trace down to 1810. Or the entire story of the relationship may be a family myth of wishful thinking.
I do have some photos from the Harrison Family Cemetery in Cabell Co, WV and one of Lucinda Abigail Harrison Which I would be happy to share.
ANY HELP, ANY leads would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks, Carrie
