Legacy of the Harrisons Traced in General Harrison's Lineage
Vienna weighs a better subject for research than Gen Benjamin Harrison’s ancestry. Observers in Indianapolis note the plain citizen in public, yet records show he is the great great grandson of a British general, great grandson of Benjamin Harrison a Continental Congress signer, grandson of William Henry Harrison Indiana's first territorial governor and a future president, and son of John Scott Harrison. Both Harrisons were brigadier generals and each briefly served as U.S. president, with respective electoral defeats.
