I am looking for information about and descendent of Richard Harrison b. 29 Oct 1780 in Virginia and d. 26 Jan 1854 in Ray County, Missouri and is buried in Ray County, Missouri.

He is the second husband of Rachel. Her first marriage was to an unknown Campbell and she had one child with her first husband, Willis Campbell.

There are court documents concerning guardianship of Willis Campbell because his stepfather, Richard Harrison, was said to be treating Willis inhumanely.

Children of Richard Harrisn and Rachel:
1. Richard Harrison b. 1834 in Kentukcy who married Elizabeth.
2. Mahala M. Harrison b. abt 1837 in Kentucky and married Francis Seward.
3. Benjamin F. Harrison b. abt 1840 in Missouri.
4. Nancy Harrison b. abt 1841 in Missouri
5. Susan Harrison b. abt 1845 in Missouri
6. Thomas Jefferson Harrison b. Feb 1847 in Missouri and died 2 Feb 1914 in Pike, Atlas County, Illinois. He married Sarah Ann Williams.
7. Evalina Harrison b. abt 1849 in Missouri

I'm researching my Harrison's of Saline County, MOI..I don't have much information, my grgrgr grandfather is a Benjamin F. Harrison who died about 1880 in Saline Co., MO he married Lucy Ann Lewellen who died c. 1880-81, they had four children Henry b. c 1855, Benjamin F., b. c 1859, Eliza Jane b. 1862 in Iowa, and Belle b. c 1868. I don't know much else, the Harrison's may have been in KY or TN prior to coming to Missouri. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much, I look forward to hearing from you.
