Update

In the above post, I missed President Benjamin Harrison who of course was related to William Henry Harrison. Here is the line:

Benjamin Harrison (b. 20 August 1833, North Bend, Hamilton County, Ohio/d. 13 March 1901, Indianapolis, Indiana) lawyer and politician

his father John Scott Harrison (b. 4 Oct. 1803, Vincennes, Indiana/d. 25 May 1878, North Bend, Ohio) + wife Elizabeth Ramsey Irwin (b. 18 July 1810, Mercersburg, PA/d. 15 August 1850, North Bend, Ohio). They married on 12 August 1831 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
