Person talk:George Harrison (53)


Sources for parents [9 March 2017]

What sources show George's parents as John Scott Harrison and Elizabeth Irwin? The Wikipedia article for John Scott Harrison does not include George in the listing of John Scott Harrison's children. Also, John Scott Harrison and Elizabeth Irwin did not marry until 1831, when George would have been about 6 years old.

In the 1850 Census for York Township, Dearborn county, Indiana, he seems to be living with a mother/sister of Louisa's (Hannah Davis, age 41, born New York) as well as his own mother/sister (J___ Harrison, 41, b. Virginia (indexed as "Nomar")), and he is also shown as owning land. I know the page is incredible difficult to read, but this information might provide some clues for finding records for George's parents.

In the meantime, if you don't have records showing George as the son of John Scott Harrison and Elizabeth Irwin, they should be removed as his parents.
