Shirley,
Yes, Robert Hanson Harrison would have been married to one of my George
Johnston Sr.'s daughters, Sarah. R. H. Harrison would not have been my
line, but his wife's would be a connection.

Beverly,
I was in touch w/Norma, and these two men are indeed the same person. She
said the name in the second piece Howerson was spelled wrong.
I realize this is not your line, but it threw me to see him married to Sarah

Johnston.
Just wanted to get it straight.
Shirley
