HI,
VERY interested in your HARRISONs. My own Harrison family was in Madison
Co AL and there are several ties of this county to Shelby with HARRISON,
LINDSEY & CROWSON. Particularly interesting is that your Elizabeth was b.
SC as was my own Elizabeth HARRISON except she was b. c1790. I would love
to see your gedcom and wondering if you can share it with us. I am cc'ng
my mom as well as I know she will be interested. Also cc'ng the Harrison
Discussion List.
I did not find CASTLE in our database but did find something that might be
the Dennis H you mentioned. I have no idea how accurate this info is below
but it might help.

The CASTLE name is perhaps connected to Rockingham HARRISONs earlier than
your line. Our Elizabeth H m. James Harrison - he probably a descendant of
Gideon HARRISON of the Rockingham H's. They were said to be cousins - she
b. SC he b. TN/NC. I found this very interesting and have a strong hunch
your Elizabeth will connect to this line.
