Joshua Harrison's mother's name is Ann and was born in 1798... Brenda Johnson Duckwall


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.
...................................................................................................
Hey Gene,

Your William Thomas Harrison married Ann Simmons.....daughter of Joshua Simmons and Sarah Baird. Ann was the sister of Martha Simmons who married Peter Stainback. Peter Stainback (War of 1812 Vet) was the son of Rev War Veteran Littleberry Stainback Jr and his wife Amelia....possibly Wilkins.

Joshua Simmons was the son of Randolph and Frances Simmons of Prince George Co., Va. Joshua also had a brother named Coleman Simmons. Sarah Baird was the daughter of Thomas Baird.

There is much more info on the Simmons and Harrison Families in the Simmons Family Bible. You can view this bible online at the Library Of Virginia website. Go to www.lva.Virginia.edu and click on search catalogue for Simmons Family Bible. There are about 4 pages of info.

As far as Stainbacks....I saw on your website the mention of the Kirkham Graveyard where Peter and Martha Simmons Stainback are buried as well as Joshua Simmons among others.

Hope this helps....please let me know if you have any questions....

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.

Buried:
There is a Kirkham Graveyard in Prince George: "1.2 miles north of
Disputanta, on route #618; thence .8 mile northwest on route #629;

This graveyard is located about fifty yards east of the residence, in the corner of an
open field. The plot is about sisty feet square, fenced in and neatly kept. There is
a lone cedar tree and one tombstone marking two graves."
