About Bathsheba Harrison

Some researchers [including one published source] claim that Bathsheba Harrison who married William Neill was a daughter of Robert Harrison and Bathsheba Bryan. Others have her as a daughter of Jeremiah Harrison and Catherine Adams, who DID name a daughter Bathsheba in his will. The preponderance of evidence, including Find-A-Grave supports Bathsheba as the daughter of Jeremiah Harrison.
