Over the past few weeks I have corresponded with several about William H. Harrison of Benton Co., Ark. I was told that that a Uncle thought that Wm. H. Harrison was married to Nancy Copeland of Benton Co., Ark. It is possible that the second wife of Wm. H. Harrison was named Nancy but not Copeland. Would like to hear from anyone with their opinion on the following:
William H. Harrison, b. abt. 1830, TN. married Oct. 5, 1851, Washington Co., Ark. to Lucinda Copeland, b. abt. 1835, TN. She died 1867-1870. He then married Mrs. Louisa Stokley age 24, June 9, 1870, Benton Co., Ark. The Mrs. leads me to believe that Louisa had a first marriage. I have saw her name listed as Louisa Nancy Jane Barnard. Would like to have proof of this.
Children of Wm. H. & Lucinda Copeland Harrison:
1. Nancy Elizabeth, b. abt. 1854, married Wm. Carter.
2. Andrew or Thomas Andrew Harrison, b. abt. 1856.
3. John M. Harrison, b. Sept. 27, 1858, married Sarah N. Barnard.
