What did Benjamin Harrison's father do for a living? RickK 16:43, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- John Scott Harrison (1804-1878) was a farmer and a congressman (1853-57). - Nunh-huh 21:09, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
- I just edited the article which had his mother's name as "Elizabeth Irwin". According to "The Complete Book of U.S. Presidents" (William A. Degregorio) her name was "Elizabeth Ramsey". (Might this be a maiden vs. married name issue?) - Nunh-huh 21:15, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
- It is... so now name given as "Elizabeth Ramsey Irwin". - Nunh-huh

The First Lady and wife of Benjamin Harrison Harrison was originally Caroline Lavinia Scott before marriage to Benjamin Harrison. Reason of edit: full maiden name appears in most presidential bios. --65.73.0.137
Benjamin Harrison or Benjamin Harrison VI??
If his grandfather was William Henry Harrison, then why does he get a suffix like this?? According to what makes sense to me, this means that his grandfather would have to be Benjamin Harrison IV, but that is certainly wrong. 66.245.29.239 13:46, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
