If you have traveled through The UnWritten then you have already read some stories about our Harrison family. By now you probably have realized the we (the authors of The UnWritten) are three girls who are all cousins, yet our cousin relationship does not completely connect until you have gone back over 100 years in time to this Harrison family. We are Karisa, Mandy (descendants from Adeline Harrison) and Charanna, (descendant from Charlotte Harrison). We have never met Charanna in person. We met through the Internet as we each were searching for old photo - stories and answers to the unsolved mystery of our ancestor Benjamin R. Harrison. We have also found another cousin through the web who is a descendent from Mary Harrison and like us, she too is searching to find information about Benjamin R. Harrison. We have family legends and stories, some written by personal historians, that say he is from the presidential Harrisons and that Henrietta is part Native American.We still do not know who Benjamin R. Harrison's or Henrietta's parents were, or when or where they died.
So, welcome to our Harrison connection where our photo-stories have hit a brickwall. Below are the photographs of each member of this Harrison family. By clicking on them we will share our facts and legends in hope that somewhere, someone knows something more.
At the bottom of the page you will find a time line which will allow you to browse through every photo-story used in The UnWritten.
