Hello Beth...

Do you happen to know anything about any of the other Harrison lines ?
I descend from Benjamin Harrison's daughter Diana who married
Benjamin Martin. I've been told that these two lines have a common ancestor
named Anthony Harrison in 1500s Over, England.

Do you have any info about that ?......thanks, malinda jones
