Harrisons Of Talbot County, Maryland

(from "The History of Talbot County" 1661-1861 by Oswald Tilghman)

Samuel Alexander Harrison MD was born 10 Oct 1822, the son of Alexander Bradford Harrison and Eleanor Spencer. The family lived on Clay's Hope farm in Saint Michaels District, near the town of Oxford, Talbot Co., Maryland.

Eleanor Spencer was the daughter of Col. Perry Spencer and the granddaughter of James Spencer, Jr. and Anne Benson. James Benson, Sr. emigrated from England in 1670. He settled in Talbot County where he became a commander of a troop of horse during Colonial times.

Samuel Harrison (above) graduated Dickenson College, Carlisle, PA in 1840, at the age of 18. He spent some years in St. Louis, Missouri, but returned to Talbot County where he practiced medicine until his death 29 May 1890. He died at the home of his son-in-law, Oswald Tilghman.

------------------------------------------------------

On 14 Feb 1726, Rachel Harrison married John Leeds of Wade's Point at a ceremony of the Friends, Quaker Meeting House on Dividing Creek, near the town of Trappe, Talbot Co., MD. Witnesses included William, Elizabeth and Ann Harrison. Rachel died 10 May 1746. she had become the mother of three daughters, names not given.

Daniel Harrison Of Missouri And Illinois

(submitted by Mrs. Albert W. Garner of Hanover, IL)

Elizabeth LLOYD was born in Cheshire, England the 8th of February, 1804. She came to the United States in 1822 and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1825 she married William KINCAID, a shoe store owner or salesman. A daughter, Sarah, was born on the 13th of March, 1826. Mr. Kincaid died six weeks later.

Before Mr. Kincaid's death, he sent a friend, Daniel HARRISON, from St. Louis to Galena, Illinois, to establish a shoe store there. After Mr. Kincaid's death, Elizabeth Kincaid, with her little daughter, went to Galena and later married Daniel Harrison, date not known. Three children were born: John HARRISON, whose birth date is not known and who was still living in 1854; William HARRISON, infant son died the 18th of August, 1830. (Miner's Journal, V.II, N 51; 25 Sep 1830, p.3); and Rachel HARRISON born the 25th of October, 1832. She married Thomas EDGERTON April 12, 1853, a farmer near Hanover, Illinois. They had eleven children, four of whom died as small children. Rachel died the 16th of September, 1909. Daniel Harrison died in testate "on or about July 1, 1834" (from Court Records).

Later Elizabeth Harrison married a Mr. MORGAN and moved to Blue River, Wisconsin and had a son, Willie. Mr. Morgan did not want Elizabeth's other children so she put Sarah, age 11, in a foster home in Galena, and Rachel, age 5, in a foster home near Hanover. It is not known what became of John.

Elizabeth HARRISON Morgan married again to add the surname TAYLOR and had a daughter, Mary J. Taylor, born in Plateeville, Wisconsin the 4th of February, 1840. In March 1886, Mary married Oliver MANLOVE in Galena. They had no children, but Mary cared for two step-sons who were very good to her. Mary died in Hubbard, Iowa in 1927 at age 87.

It is not known when or where Elizabeth died, but property left to her by Daniel Harrison was given to his children and step children. At one time he owned all of what is known as Seminary Hill in Galena and a street on that hill is still called Harrison Street. Sarah, who married Gardner REED, inherited a house on that street.

As Rachel was so small when her father died and was put in a foster home three years later, she knew very little about either of her parents.

(This information is from a brief genealogy written by a daughter of Sarah Reed, from the Thomas Edgerton Family Bible, and from newspaper clippings.) Jessie Edgerton Garner is the grand-daughter of Rachel.

Harrisons In The Gold Rush News 1846-1862

After the gold strike out west in the late 1840's, newspapers were being printed in nearly every mining town. This is very fortunate for the researcher since vital records were not kept in California until 1905. A newspaper notice may be the only record available today of a death, birth or marriage of those persons or families who went west, seeking their fortunes.

The CALIFORNIAN was the first newspaper printed on the west coast. Published in Monterey, beginning in the summer of 1846, it was printed in both the Spanish and English languages. The CALIFORNIA STAR appeared the same summer in San Francisco. It had been conceived in New York; it was set and prepared in the office of a Mormon Newspaper. Other papers were soon to follow until by 1860, no fewer than 86 newspapers were being published in various parts of the state.

In searching these papers, the following HARRISONS were found:

23 April 1850 ALTA CALIFORNIA, San Francisco

Tombstone Tales

On Eleanor HARRISON Wilson's gravestone, the cemetery marker reads:

Eleanor and her children were all killed in an Indian raid. They were buried in one grave.

According to old records of Lucy Bender's, now in possession of Isabella Logsdon, gravestones for Alexander and Eleanor Wilson were moved by Lucy Bender to Westwood Cemetery, Shawneetown, IL to prevent their destruction when the burial plot was being plowed up.

Walter Bender, Lucy's husband, moved the stones when he had charge of a CCC camp at Marion, IL in the 1930's.

Eleanor was born in Virginia and first buried at Home farm, Union Co., KY. She gave birth to six other children: Harrison, Cecelia, Artemesia, Attaway, Lawson, and Blueford.

HARRISON

      Wm. B. (Billie Buck)
      John Henry

      Allen
      Wm. Riley
      Wm. R.

HH 1.2-07 - Wm. B. (Billie Buck) Harrison was born in 1789 in VA or SC, and married Hannah Taylor in Spartanburg Co. in 1810. Served in War of 1812, sold out in 1845 and moved to Marshall Co., MS after spending a year in Fayette Co., AL, and died in Marshall Co., MS, 1851. He is known to have had a brother John Henry and a sister Nancy who came to MS after he died. In Spartenburg Co he lived in the Cross Anchor community on Tyger River.

Who is he?

According to two of his sons, Allen (the eldest) and Wm. Riley (the youngest). His father was a Baptist preacher from VA who served in the Revolution. No Wm. Riley Harrison served from SC, but a wm. R. Harrison did serve from VA. (Saffell's Records, p. 502). Nor was there any Wm. Harrison in C-90 for SC who could be identified as Wm. Riley Harrison, or in C-1800. Hence it is believed that Wm. Riley Harrison died before 1800, leaving 3 orphans; and SC had no orphan courts.
