After reading about Benjamin Harrison, it makes me curious about why my
cousins Obidiah Harrison "Obe" and Bessie Iona (STARR) named their son
Benjamin Harrison COBB and why Obe's parents Rufus and Frances J. Caroline
(CATHEY) COBB named their son - Obidiah Harrison "Obe" COBB. Is there more
to our HARRISON connection than just Bessie (HARRISON) COBB? We have quiet
a few distant HARRISON cousins: Benjamin HARRISON (____ - ____),
Bessie HARRISON (ABT 1893 - ____), Frances HARRISON (____ - ____), Frank
HARRISON (____ - ____), James Cuthfield HARRISON (____ - ____), Jane
Virginia HARRISON (____ - 16 Apr 1866), Katherine Elizabeth HARRISON (____ -
