START HERE IN THE TWIGS OF THE TREE SAFE BENEATH THE CAMOUFLAGE OF THE LEAVES AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN TO THE LIMBS AND TRUNK AND THEN YOU TELL ME WHO ARE THE ROOTS MADE UP OF: ----------------------------------------- -------------------------> Alvin Saunders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Saunders was the grandfather of William Henry Harrison, who served several terms as Wyoming's member of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1950's and 60's. His son-in-law was Russell Benjamin Harrison.

BUT
there is a lot more to the the Harrison Family Tree.

Ideas are spawn roots like a seed and then for GENERATION after GENERATION the Tree grows and grows adding rings of wisdom and building new branches. I call a seed Like the construction of modern warships was planted On June 30, 1890 when Congress passed Navy Bill............




The name Harrison in Ireland is either derived from settlers who arrived from England and Scotland in the seventeenth century or from a number of native Gaelic Septs.

L.C. The Harrison family were also a part of the Texas war of independence. In fact Jonas Harrison was General Sam Houston's personal lawyer. Harrison county Texas was named for him. He recruited a company to fight the mexican army of Santa Anna. Jonas was the black sheep of the Harrison family but in reading up on him the family still had some ties with him. His home town in Texas was Tenanhaw Renamed Tenaha it is in Shelby county and not far from Nacogdoches, Where he practiced law part time and was at one time a agent for the Mexican Government. He switched sides in 1832. Believe the family was active during the War of Northern Aggression. At that time all the families were interconnected in some way. When the war started the Moderator Regulator war ended and they had a common enemy. Something tells me it was prime territory for K.G.C. Remember the Railroads and Timber were just getting started and would have provided a good income for the group.

They ( Booth and Ficklin ) might have had a easy time in deep East Texas as there were many ex confederates in the area and many of the people at the time would have worked in one of the many war industries in the area. Marshall was the hub of the railroad (T&P ) at that time having switching yards and shops for repair. The railroad to this day has a big part in the commerce of the Area. There are wheel repair and rolling stock repair businesses all over Harrison county area.

That is where they both ended up. Ben Ficklin had a town named after him. He also continued to receive government mail contracts after the Civil War and having been implicated in Lincoln's assassination......but was let go do to poor investigation by the War Department. I believe that is why he was killed in Washington D.C. by friends of Abe Lincoln..(secret service).......or do you really think a doctor cut his throat while removing a fish bone he choked on????

great stuff, now you are digging in the right place to find the truth S.D.

L.C. This and most of the families that were in the south at that time at least west of the coastal states were Scott/Irish. The Scott/Irish had a long history with the Vikings. Most of the Highland Clans had traded with or wared with them and some families inter-married with them. Thus the son on the end of many names. Harrison,Issacson,Richdson,Robertson are but a few of the names that show a Viking connection. Many of the early oilman in east Texas were of the same breed and bet some of them were O.A.K. oil came later to Texas the rest of the eastern states.

Yes,...yes...and yes...you are on the right trail now. Some came from Virginia and brought with them in one wagon with $30,000 in gold to support S.F. Nuckolls and the K.G.C. operations in Nebraska. It was a wide spread effort in many areas. If you read my old posts...I pretty much paint the Scotch Irish picture.

IN American politics the Scottish race has been represented by Thomas H. Benton, John C. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, James G. Blaine, Thomas A. Hendricks, Joseph E. MacDonald, John Bell, Alexander H. Stephens, Samuel Randall, J. C. Breckenridge, John G. Carlisle, Simon Cameron, the Livingstons, of New York, William B. Allison, John B. Gibson, Matthew S. Quay, Calvin S. Brice, Marcus A. Hanna, Whitelaw Reid, J. Sterling Morton, Wayne McVeagh, Chauncey Mitchell Depew, Robert Todd Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglas, Adlai E. Stevenson, Stephen B. Elkins, Daniel S. Lamont, Arthur P.. Gorman, William McKinley, and countless others.

P.S. Look for bull:censored: like this..............It is uncertain when William McKinley and Mark Hanna first met—neither man in later life could remember the first meeting.

This is what Nobody would consider a wide net.........

Just because McKinley was a Republican who fought for the Union doesn't make him "NON O.A.K." material. The narrow mind will not catch the real crooks.....they don't all wear a mask over their face like Jesse James did. Just my two cents.

raised protective tariffs to promote American industry, and maintained the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of inflationary proposals.

became the Republican Party’s expert on the protective tariff, which he promised would bring prosperity.

McKinley Tariff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia shut out competition during the construction of monopolies.......ask yourself, what was making big money during this time, and then look who paid his way to the presidency. Rapid economic growth marked McKinley’s presidency. $$$$$$$$$$------->O.A.K.
persuade Spain to grant independence to rebellious Cuba without conflict, but when negotiation failed, he led the nation in the Spanish–American War of 1898. Cuba was promised independence, but at that time remained under the control of the U.S. Army. The United States annexed the independent Republic of Hawaii in 1898 and it became a U.S. territory. Czolgosz, McKinley's assassin believed there was a great injustice in American society, an inequality which allowed the wealthy to enrich themselves by exploiting the poor. He concluded that the reason for this was the structure of government itself. Emma Goldman was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the assassination, but was released, due to insufficient evidence. She later incurred a great deal of negative publicity when she published "The Tragedy at Buffalo". In the article, she compared Czolgosz to Marcus Junius Brutus, the killer of Julius Caesar, and called McKinley the "president of the money kings and trust magnates."
McKinley was of course succeeded by Vice President Teddy Roosevelt..........The Trust Buster?

James Knox Polk (Scotch-Irish)(Irish)
11th President, 1845-49: His ancestors were among the first Ulster-Scots settlers, emigrating from Coleraine in 1680 to become a powerful political family in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He moved to Tennessee and became its governor before winning the presidency.

John Surratt, the last surviving member of the Lincoln assassination conspiracy,-------> the only thing that I beg to differ with......

James W. Singleton https://www.lib.odu.edu/specialcollections/manuscripts/singleton.htm

Singleton lived until 1892......:thumbsup: L.C.

P.S. The James Dunwoody Bulloch. tie to Teddy is a DANDY! He operated blockade runners (Ben Ficklin) and commerce raiders that provided the Confederacy with its only source of hard currency. Bulloch arranged for the unofficial purchase of Confederate cotton,(FICKLIN, SINGLETON, BROWNING) and the dispatch of armaments and other war supplies to the South. His secret service funds are alleged to have been used for the planning of Lincoln’s assassination. If he was in with the men I listed and their cotton deal, then there is no doubt that his money was used in the assassination. All of those men were already wealthy, Ficklin bought Monticello!
