Greetings List members!
I have run up against my brick wall with my g gf, William Henry Harrison
(1846-1916). We know that he contributed information to records stating
that he had been born in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co, PA, but so far no one
has been able to find any records of him in a family group there.
He was in Clark Co, IN by late 1863, as he enlisted for service there.
He married Lydia Stoner (1843-1924) on 9-Mar-1864 in Otto, Clark Co, IN
before he reported for military duty that same month. Following 18
months of service, he returned home to Clark Co where he and Lydia had 10
children between 1866 and 1880. Moving across the river into Trimble Co,
KY, they had 2 more children in 1882 and 1884.
Some time later, they moved to North Madison, Jefferson Co, IN, where
they spent the rest of their lives. They are buried in Fairmount Cem
according to their obits which I found in the Madison Courier, but I was
unable to locate any stones there.
Please review the following Family Group Sheet to see if you can possibly
lead me to any of the descendants of Wm & Lydia. My gf was Wm Henry Jr,
and I have already located the dau and gs of Jackson Trout in Marion Co,
IN. The rest?
