David Harrison age 75 and Elizabeth Pickering age 68 were my fourth great grandparents. It's a little unusual for a couple not to be listed adjacent to each other in a census entry. William Harrison who was listed between them was their son. Lydia Harrison age 36 who married Madison Moore age 37 was their daughter. |

Daniel Harrison age 42 was my third great grandfather. He was the son of David Harrison and Elizabeth Pickering. David and Elizabeth were living next door in dwelling number 1627 (see above). Hulda B. Haynes age 23 was Daniel's second wife. His first wife was my third great grandmother Rhoda Maria Brown. John, Joseph, and William were Rhoda's children, and Margaret was Hulda's child. I assume that Lucretia Hammer and John Grandal were boarders. If they were related to the Harrison family, then I don't know how they were related. Joseph Harrison age 10 was my second great grandfather. He later moved to Jefferson County, Tennessee and married my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton. |
