Cuzzin Sue and Cuzzins Sheepers,
President Benjamin Harrison is my cousin all kinds of ways. One is through
his grandmother, Anna Tuthill Symmes, who descends from my infamous Tuttle
family - my original qualifier for the renowned Black Sheep Society of
Genealogists!!!!!

Thanks, Sue. I have never entered Harrison's spouse and children. From
what you wrote, he married an Avery, and I claim nearly every Avery in
America.
