I just want to give a reason for my suggested change of birth year. Multiple census records show that he cannot have been born in 78. These can be found on the Family Search website attached as sources to his DOB. He and Lige's parents were married in 1888, on July 29th or 21st - the day number is difficult to read on the document. His father, John, was previously married to Mary, and she died in 1887...so had Harrison been born in 79, Mary would have been his mother, not Rebecca. Additionally, his headstone, if you look closely, used to have an 8 where now there is a 7.
