Biography

Name may have been "Elvira". And there is some confusion about who her mother was (Sarah Seamans, or Mary "Dolly" Priest?)

From Paul Harrison, a descendent, via e-mail:

"Elvira was the daughter of William H "Buck" Harrison. He lived in Peach Tree Village, Tyler County (near present Chester) when William [Green, Sr.] and Elvira maried and when William, Jr was born there. However, about 1856, Buck and his family moved to Johnson County, Tx where the 1860 census lists him as a stock raiser, I assume meaning a rancher."
