      Next door is James who had just married in Jan, I am making the assumption that he is a son, because of the gap in the ages of the children.

      Is he the son of Reuben and Mary???

      son James' bio: 1883 History of Henry Missouri
      Judge James M. Harrison was born in Mason County, West Virginia, May 24, 1831. His father was William H. Harrison, and his mother's maiden name was Esther Allen, both of old Virginia families. She died in 1854, but the former is residing on the old home farm in Western Virginia. He is a hale old gentleman of seventy-four years, and is living with his third wife.
