Thanks, Steve. I knew he had served in that area during the Indian wars earlier in the 1800s, Tecumseh and all that, but that's about all I knew about him. I did do a quick Wiki peek this afternoon and found that he married a lady from that area. Marriage always seems to have an effect on where one ends up...

However, I did know that Harrison had grown up on the wonderful Berkeley Plantation in Virginia. There would have to have been a very strong reason for me to want to leave that beautiful place.
