(29 Sep 1878 - Bef 1900)




1880 Census. Schuyler Co, IL Elisha Harrison, age 30 [b. circa 1850], b. KY; didn't know where his parents were born but maybe he didn't give the information. Edith, wife age 24, b. IL, parents b. Ohio. Clarence, son, age 3, May, age 2, and Jessie, daughter, age 1.

Does not appear with the family in 1900 - she had apparently had married or died as a child





Continuing research as proved this Jessie never married Samuel Fleming Horney - that was a very different Jessie Harrison

2 Oct 1895. Jessie Harrison to (Samuel) Fleming Horney, Rushville, Schuyler, IL. Marriage record lists his parents as Madison Horney and Elizabeth Sellers. Strangely she is listed as born about 1874 to Benj. C. Harrison. SO HAS THE WIFE OF SAMUEL FLEMING HORNEY BEEN MIS-ATTRIBUTED? DID jESSIE PERHAPS DIED AS A CHILD???
