Hi All,

My Mom was a Harrison  and her parents were Jesse Phene Harrison and Oma Edna Smith. These two families intermarried numerous times through history with the Smythe/Smith families . Fortunate it has been to discover so much already about my Harrison and Smith lines. ( I would still love to have more photos however)There are notable influential people from both lines who began shaping America even before they left England and most are still leadership figures to the present day. From Yorkshire England to Virginia to Tennessee and Missouri where my Mom was born.

I am more than happy to have an open exchange of info with cousins near and far!

I am looking for the Harrison's who were in Wayne County, Tennessee around the 1870's.  David Summerfield Harrison is the first Harrison in my tree and he was married to Captain Andrew Jackson and Frances Caroline Rutledge Roberts' daughter Julia Ann Roberts.  I have alot of information on the Roberts side except for when she died and what of and where she is buried.  I know nothing at all about David Summerfield Harrison and would like any information on trying to find out who is parents and siblings were.  I only know of one of his children with Julia and his name is William Thomas Harrison born around Hardin County, Tennessee in 1874.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first Harrison in my tree is Margaret Jane Harrison (1820 - 1890), who married Alfred Sloan. Their daughter was Missouri Ophila Sloan, who married, Wiliam Thomas Menefee Or Meneffee, and they had Mary Jane Meneffee, who married J. Richard Liles, and they had Walter Earnest Liles, my grandmothers father. My grandmother's name was Alma Aliene Liles (Moren).

Hi Stella, our Harrison's began in St. Helens in the 1700's, then moved to Newton-in-Makerfield, then they moved back to Fleet Lane in Parr.
One line settled in Haydock, and this line is ours - they ended up back in St. Helens. Joan

Thanks for starting this group! I'm the administrator of the Harrison DNA Project http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/harrison/pats

We have almost 150 members tested, and have identified 45 separate Harrison family lines in the US, UK, Ireland, and Australia. I invite you all to visit the site and see if your family is listed, and if you're a Harrison male (only direct male descendants of a Harrison male have Harrison Y-DNA), I invite you to get tested and see where your Harrison line fits in. We have managed to combine a number of colonial American lines, and are working on finding the origins in the UK and Ireland of our original Harrison families.
