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.

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:
Received from Brenda Duckwall, 1/2011:
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.
One of my New Year goals is to try to link Joshua with the President Harrison line. I think that he may have
been a cousin of some sort. I think that they were all well off financially since they are related to the Booths,
sent William Franklin Harrison's wife, Sarah E. Baird, to France to receive treatments for T.B. Sarah died
January 22, 1888 of T.B. leaving my grandmother who was only 16 months old. I have sympathy for William
loosing his wife, having young children to take care of, and loosing his father when he was a teenager. I guess he was too preoccupied to keep family records but I would like to go back and find out what his grandparents (Joshua's parents) names were and possibly link our family to the Presidents.
from Brenda Duckwall:
The Harrison Home is at 3840 Otterdam Road in Surry County.
The land where the home is located and about 1000 acres belonged to our Ellis ancestors from the early 1600's. The land and original home was given by Bolling Ellis to his daughter and our ancestor Ann Rebecca Ellis who married Joshua Simmons Harrison. It was passed down or purchased by sons and daughters: William Franklin Harrison, Joshua James Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Julian R. Harrison, Jr., and presently to Julian R. Harrison III and his sister, Robin Harrison Mitchell.

William Franklin Harrison was just 34 almost 35 when his wife died. He had 6 young children and his widowed mother in his house hold. He may have had a sister in the household. His sister and mother did help him with the children. They were all recovering from the Civil War. If his wife's grave is unmarked, it would be understandable that he did not purchase a stone.
This is from the Surry County Historical Society:
The Harrison Farm
located at 3840 Otterdam Road
Surry County, Virginia
"The following information has been researched by Julian R. Harrison, Jr.
The Harrison Farm was once owned by Bolling Ellis. The Ellises were in Surry County as early as 1667. The
original farm consisted of 760 +/- acres. Ann Rebecca Ellis married Joshua Simmons Harrison April 1, 1848 in Surry, Virginia. She inherited the farm from her father, Bolling Ellis.
Joshua James Harrison inherited his part of the farm from his father, William Franklin Harrison, in 1907, and bought the remaining shares from other family members….."
I don't know where Julian received the information whether it was Court records, Wills, or passed down information.
He seemed to check things carefully.
I may have given you a copy of this information with a picture of the house and farm.
Court Records or a Will might firm up the proof….

From: Brenda Johnson Duckwall:
These are stones at Waverly Cemetery in Waverly, Virginia for Joshua James Harrison ("Nellie" Adelaide Cornelia Harrison's brother who had just
had a birthday and turned 8 when his mother died). His daughter, Helen, was just one years old when she died.
William Franklin Harrison and Sarah Ellis Baird Harrison had 6 children: Lottie, Myrtie, Joshua, Herbert, Clarah, and my grandmother, Nellie (long e sound).
When William Franklin Harrison's wife died he moved closer to his mother, Ann Rebecca Ellis Harrison. His mother and sisters helped to take care of the children.
William's oldest child was Lottie Baird Harrison (Wanda Goodrich Temple's grandmother). Lottie had just turned 12 years old when her mother
(Sarah Ellis Baird Harrison) died on her birthday, January 22.
JUST FOUND IN MY NOTES THAT SARAH ELLIS BAIRD HARRISON IS BURIED IN PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, NEAR NEWVILLE. So maybe we were on the
trail the other day when we were looking for the Kirkham Cemetery.
Kirkham Cemetery Location in the Report: 1.2 miles north of Disputanta, Virginia, on Route #618; thence .8 mile northwest on Route #629; thence .1 mile south
of Route #629. Prince George County, Virginia.
Kirkham Cemetery is located about fifty yards east of the residence, in the corner of an open field (1937). The plot is about sixty feet square, fenced in and neatly
kept (as of 1937). There is a lone cedar tree and one tombstone marking two graves.
Graves include: Martha Stainback Kirkham, William Kirkham, Joshua Simmons, 2 young daughters, Ann Simmons Harrison, and her husband, William Thomas Harrison,
James William Harrison, Martha Simmons Stainback and her husband, Peter Stainback, their young son, and possibly more.
I plan to volunteer to help inventory cemeteries in Prince George so maybe we will eventually come across Sarah Ellis Baird Harrison's grave. I'm also looking for William
Franklin Harrison's father's grave. His father was Joshua Simmons Harrison. If Joshua Simmons Harrisons mother was a Simmons, it would make sense for his son
William to bury his wife with his grandmother's family.
William married BAIRD Sarah Ellis on 9 Feb 1875. Sarah (daughter of BAIRD Alexander Peter, Jr. and BOOTH Rebecca Ann) was born on 27 Jan 1854 in Dendron, Surry, Virginia, United States; died on 22 Jan 1888 in Mayenne Pays de Loire, France; was buried in Surry County, VA (Lois Goodrich Cemetary on Rt 612).

bonniesmithhearn: Gene, I have contacted you before. Sara Baird Harrison is my great grandmother; my grandmother, Cornelia Adelaide, was 16 mo. when her mother died of TB in France. My husband and I are going to France in May (upper Loire and Pays De La Mayenne will be visited.)It was in this area where she was treated. I am trying to locate the hospital where she died if the building still exists. Do you know anyone who might have information on name of place or exact location? From your Booth Family inf., I understand she was brought back from France and buried in Va.,correct? I would also like to compliment you on your excellent Booth Family website. Any additional inf. on my great grandmother would be appreciated. Bonnie Hearn
