I went there and entered: "William Lewis Harrison" Alabama And a ton of sites come up with family trees galore! Sometimes you have to search around the person to come up with something, and since the brother's name is more uncommon, start there. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sc/oconee/cemeteries/pd_har-hd.txt - daughter of William Lewis listed http://peariverramblings.homestead.com/HuckFinn.html - many HARRISON researchers Do you know if they were plantation owners at one time? If so this may be William Lewis, with the number of slaves: http://ccharity.com/census/limestone.htm Here is a main HARRISON page And a census to go with them: http://www.geocities.com/~kayrockett/fairfield1800.htm Hope this helps, Paulette Barbara A.
