- Joshua was a scout in the Civil War. He was having his horse shod at a blacksmith shop in
Petersburg when he was shot and killed by Northern soldiers. I think he was in the mounted guard, 4th Congressional District, Virginia.

A marker states: Martha Stainback, wife of William Kirkham, born in Prince George County, Virginia (this place) April 2, 1828. Died in Clarksville, Virginia November 28, 1901. Mother.
And
William Kirkham
Born in Petersburg, VA Dec. 4, 1817
Died in Petersburg, VA July 13, 1893
Father
Source of information was Susie Harrison Figg, Prince George, Virginia and research by Jennie S. Harrison on Oct. 4, 1937.
Susanna Harrison Figg is the sister of Joshua Simmons Harrison who is William Franklin Harrison's father and Sarah E. Baird Harrison's (b. January 27, 1854 - d. January 22, 1888) father-in-law. Susanna is Sarah's aunt in law.
It would make perfect sense for Sarah E. Baird Harrison to be buried there at the Kirkham Cemetery.
Perhaps the new Prince George Cemetery Project and Clarah's grand daughter can help us out. Thanks so much!

| Notes |
- Joshua Simmons Harrison born about 1823 (post office:
Brandon, Prince George, VA) married Ann Rebecca Ellis. He had one brother, James William
Thomas Harrison and one sister, Susanna who married Mr. Figg.
Joshua was a scout in the Civil War. He was having his horse shod at a blacksmith shop in
Petersburg when he was shot and killed by Northern soldiers. I think he was in the mounted
guard, 4th Congressional District, Virginia.
I don't know his parent's names or if they are linked to the Harrisons of Brandon and Upper Brandon.
Joshua had a son, William Franklin Harrison, who had a daughter, Adelaide Cornelia Harrison, that had a
son, David Harrison Johnson, who is my father.
From Brenda Johnson Duckwall:
Joshua Harrison's mother's name is Ann and was born in 1798.
Joshua's brother is James William Thomas Harrison.
I believe Joshua's father's name was William Thomas Harrison born
about 1798 in Brandon, Prince George.
Hi Gene,
Thanks for the info. There were a few things about John Baird that I did not have.
The info. about Joshua Simmons Harrison is from a paper that I have from a relative.
According to the U. S. Census, etc. Joshua's birth year needs to be corrected to 1828.
Addition: (Joshua Simmons Harrison's parents)
1860 Census
Ann Harrison (62 years old)
birth about 1798
Home in 1860: Brandon, Prince George, Virginia
Members of the Household:
Ann Harrison (62)
JWT Harrison (James William Thomas Harrison) (33 years old)
James William Thomas Harrison is Joshua Simmons Harrison's brother.
I believe this Ann Harrison is Joshua's mother and that her maiden name
is most likely Ann Simmons (born in Virginia in 1798).
Ann Simmons was married to William Thomas Harrison
who was born about 1798 in Brandon, Prince George, Virginia.
