Charles P. Keith Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America 1889-1893

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Much of the American part of the chart will be found in either Bishop Meade's Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia, which is authority for so much family history as may be supposed to have lain within the knowledge of his contemporaries, or Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of New England, Vinton's Symmes Memorial, or Tuttle's Descendants of W'il liam and Elizabeth Tattle. I have derived my knowledge of the records in Virginia other than parochial, and of the tombstone inscriptions not taken from Bishop Meade's work, made use of either in the chart or in the accounts of, families following this Introduction, from the publications of the Virginia Historical Society, or articles in periodicals by, and correspond ence with, Mrs. Ella Bassett Washington, Pres. Lyon G; Tyler, Alexander Brown, W. G. Stanard, R. A. Brook, and others. In that part of the chart which consists of a table of the descendants of President William Henry Harrison, I have made use of much data collected by Frank Willing Leach for his projected work on the descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence.
