About William Henry Harrison, Sr.

https://www.andalusiastarnews.com/2013/03/01/harrison-ancestors-mig...

William Henry Harrison was born in North Carolina before the family moved to South Carolina. He also served in the Revolutionary War, so he was most likely given a land grant as well. By 1830, he was residing in Dale County, Ala., in an area that became part of Coffee County some years later. His home was located near the current Harrison Cemetery, which is just outside of Kinston. He was between 70 and 80 years of age at that time, and his children lived in the same community.
William Henry Harrison was married in Wilkerson County, Ga., to Martha, whose maiden name is believed to be Martha Louise Holley (1760-1866). This Martha was born in Edgefield County, S.C. and died in Kinston, Ala. They had at least the following three children: John, b. ca 1800, m. Martha Patsy Lindsey; William “Grancer,” b. ca 1789, d. 1860, m. Nancy Justice (1795-1867); and Thomas.
