To all Harrison surname researchers:
I posted a query for George B. (Berton or Burton) Harrison. A Forum researcher, Donna, out of the goodness of her heart, spent hours uncovering the following information on a branch of Harrison’s who originated in Pennsylvania (George B. – his parents were from NY and PA respectively). It is George B.that is my brick wall. He was born July 1855 in Harrisburg, Dauphin Co., PA and died October 06, 1907, in Lawton, Comanche Co., OK (all info from family records).
Donna’s email: “After many hours of searching this is all I was able to find and in return all I ask is that you post this a your list so that others may use it who are also searching for the same family as you. “ Thank you Donna!!!!
If any of you are researching this line please contact me at:
lynnp@fastlane-i.comMany thanks!!! Lynn Harrison Pankonin
[NOTE: The brackets contain info that I (Lynn) added as correction, as they are my direct line and are all verified. Murray L. Harrison was my dad (deceased 24 Dec 1998).]
