Chicago Tribune: General
Harrison writes to correspon-
dent who made al inquiry as to
his family history that he has
never studied it, but that rela-
tives have told him that the ear
liest known ancestor is Major
General Thomas Harrison, one
of the "regicides" or king-kilIers.
1t was stated in the Tribune
some months ago that this pedi-
gree was incorrect, and that the
Harrison who fought ut Tippe-
canoe, the Thames in Canada,
and Atlanta, were not the de-
scendants Of the Harrison who
fought ut Marston Moor and
Worcester. The lineage OF Gen
eral Harrison can be traced with
out difficulty from Benjamin
Harrison, who was granted 200
acres of land in what is now Isle
OF Wight County, Virginia, as
early us 1886. This Harrison
Twas a farmer, his immediate de
scendallts being planters and
traders. They were of that hon
| est English stock which formed
the Backbone Of a colony which
owed smore TO plain John Smith
3 than to all the so-called cavaliers
: that ever settled there. As Ma
t ior General Thomas Harrison
was executed IN rs6O by the roy.
: alists it is easy to see that the
Virginia Harrisons cannot be
credited to him. General Har
k rison will be the eighth presI
dent born in Virginia or descend
ed from Virginia stock, the 9th.
