Hi Malinda,
I have alot of Harrisons in my family tree program, however I seem to have
no Diana as yet.
When was she born? I was just wondering which generation of Benjamin was
her father. Gov. Benjamin Harrison whom I referred to in my previous posting
was Benjamin Harrison V. I have his children and none of them was a Diana.
Also have his siblings and go back to the first Benjamin Harrison here in
Virginia. Still there is no Diana there.
Let me know which Benjamin as her father.
