Hi, I believe this is Rev. John McKenzie Harrison, son of Reuben Ellisoin and grandson of William Holmes "April" Ellison II. The Ellison's were a free family of color in South Carolina. Rev. Harrison's paternal grandmother was Hannah Goodwine, daughter of Marcus and Susan Goodwine who were brought direct from Africa and purchased by the Reese Estate at Statesburg.
