- Military Service: Abt 1812; War of 1812 (US)
Notes:
I do not know where Leonard G. Harrison or his wife, Mary (Haynes) Harrison are buried, but my guess would be on Harrison family land in the area where they were living in Nankin Township, Wayne Co., MI. The three Harrison brothers bought and sold land in that area, as well as residing there. Leonard G. Harrison worked as a land assessor. From what I heard, their father, Joseph Harrison, originally bought the land in Michigan with back pay he received from his service as a soldier in the American Revolution. For some time Captain Joseph Harrison served under Colonel Marenus Willett, hero of Fort Stanwix, Rome, NY. (Ann M. Harrison - Nov2008)
Leonard married Mary Ann Haynes in Jun 1815. Mary (daughter of David Haynes and Margaret Ewart) was born on 28 Nov 1792 in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania; died in 1844 in Wayne County, Michigan; was buried in Union Chapel Cemetery, Inkster, Wayne County, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
