Lived Close By


I look up my grandpa Roy Harrison back in May 2007, and then I started putting the Harrison's in a tree in Oct 2007 while I was living in Cincinnati, Ohio. Reason why I am writing this because I realize I was living close to Boone County, Kentucky where my ancestors Samuel Harrison and Precious Jones have married, and started a family. 

Also lived close to Clermont and Brown County, Ohio where my ancestors James John Thomas, William Newberry, Aaron Leonard, James Rounds, Vincent Brown, and Thomas Elliot Allen have settled down at. 

Started tree in 2007 living close to where my ancestors lived at 200 years ago.

Pretty cool.

Jones Timeline


This is all I can find on Benjamin, and on his children.

Benjamin Jones
BIRTH bet 1700-1775 North Carolina
DEATH Kentucky or Indiana

1820 Burlington, Boone, Kentucky "Missing 3 or 4 Children" Wife born after 1775.

10 NOV 1821 Susanna Jones to Joseph Williamson, witness by Benjamin Jones
7 DEC 1824 Precious Jones to Samuel Harrison, witness by Joseph Williamson

1830 Boone, Kentucky, Samuel Harrison

?1840 Madison, Indiana? Samuel Harrison, Benjamin Jones, Ichabud Jones on same page.

14 JUL 1846 Madison, Illinois Nancy Ann Harrison to Andrew S. Edwards

1850 District 2, Jefferson, Kentucky, Susan Williamson b in Ohio
1850 Alton, Madison, Illinois, Schabod Jones. died aft 1854

1860 Louisville Ward 8, Jefferson, Kentucky, Susan Williamson
1860 Hadley, Pike, Illinois, Samuel Harrison

1870 Louisville Ward 11, Jefferson, Kentucky, Susan Williamson
1870 Pleasant Vale, Pike, Illinois, Precious Jones died aft 1870

1880 Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky, Susan Williamson parents birth place North Carolina, & South Carolina


As you guys know I have took the DNA test. I have a dna connections with 4 people that are from John Jacob Beals Jr., & Sarah Bowater. So, I went back to their parents, and went down to every person, and then I have found a Hannah Julian who married to a Benjamin Jones on 25 Aug 1803 in Lebanon, Warren, Ohio. Hannah was the daughter of Peter Julian, and Ruth Pugh. I do have connections with people who has Julian, and Pugh in their tree. The same family as Hannah's. 

I believe I have found Benjamin, and Hannah marriage before on the based where their daughter was born at. But I did'nt think Hannah was the wife, because there is a Benjamin Jones in Warren, Ohio. Come to think about it. They could've moved at the time the census was taken. Plus, Warren is not that far from Boone.

A Break Wall Juana Hernandez


I wonder if Amalia's mother had something to do with her daughters family. Amalia was in Montana in 1940 census. Juana Hernandez, and her husband Policarpo Jaramillo keeps going back and forth from Mexico to USA in the 1930's. So, I am thinking Juana went back to Mexico, and died there. 

Juana Hernandez was born in between 1880-1885 in Toocaltitohe, Jalisco, Mexico. I do have dna connection with people ancestors that was born at Jalisco, Mexico. I have found alot of Juana Hernandez that born in Toocaltitohe, Jalisco, Mexico. 

Aug 27 2017
A cousin Daniel Rangel Jr. told me what is Amalia Leyva mothers last name is. Her name is Juanita Juana Hernandez. And Juana got remarried to a Jaramillo. Amalia brother was Elias Leyva, and half brother was Ysidro Jaramillo. I have found a Elias Leyva 1930 Census in Los Angeles, California with his mother Juana Savamillo, and stepfather Policarpo Savamillo. Savamillo could be a misspell name for Jaramillo. Now, I know her name after 10 years searching. Amalia's father name is still unknown. 

Apr 28 2018 
Amalia's mother lived in Mexicali when we moved to Calexico and we had visited her in the 1940's. From my grandma Margaret Rangel.

DNA breakthrough Harrison


DNA breakthrough between Joseph Stephen Harrison and Eliza Ellen "Harrison" Himes "28 Dec 2017"

Actually I have broke down a wall for a descendant of Eliza Himes. We just have different spelling of names Hines and Himes. Her 2nd grandmother Eliza death certificate is on findagrave. And shows the father name Samuel, and where my ancestor's settle down at "Pike, Illinois". My Joseph's youngest daughter Laura was born in the same county "Marshall, Indiana" where Eliza had died at. Plus, Eliza have the same son name Fred in 1870, and 1880 Census.

The descendant of Eliza Himes match with me and my dad's cousin on Chromosome 15 on triangulated segment. I do match with Nan and her daughter on Chromosome 16. I shared more DNA with her then my dad's cousin.

Descendants of Samuel Harrison & Precious Jones "DNA"


Samuel & Precious had 10 children, and they are missing daughter's and son's. They got married in Boone, Kentucky, and they went to Indiana. I believe they are listed census 1840 Madison, Indiana. This is what I have so far.

1.) Poss. William C. Harrison married to Emeline Corintha Bell.
2.) Poss. Jesse Harrison married to Ellen Mrs. Harrison. 
3.) Nancy Ann Harrison married 1st Andrew S. Edwards, 2nd John Wright, 3rd Jacob "Mackt" Marks.
4.) Daughter Harrison born BEF 1835.
5.) Joseph Stephen Harrison married to Eliza Jane Quaite. "My 3rd grandparents" 
6.) Daughter Harrison born BEF 1840
7.) Hannah E. Harrison married to James H. Butler
8.) Rachel C. "Ruthie" Harrison married to Isaac S. Dumford
9.) Susan Harrison married to Henry Colunbus Sebers
10.) Eliza Ellen Harrison married to Thomas J. Himes

A descendant of William C. Harrison offer me a DNA test to see if we are related though William, but we don't match. He did not think my Joseph was the son of Samuel and Precious. Well, Good news. Joseph is indeed the son of Samuel. Got a DNA connection through Eliza Ellen Harrison only daughter. 

Hopefully descendants of Samuel & Precious will take the DNA test some time in the future.
