Jane Harrison
During the brief four weeks of the Harrison Administration, Jane Irwin Harrison (1804-1846) served as hostess. Her father Archibald Irwin inherited the homestead and mill that his own father and namesake had built in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. He married for his first wife Mary Ramsey, daughter of Major James Ramsey, who also built and ran a mill, near Mercersburg. Archibald and Mary Ramsey Irwin had two daughters, Jane and Elizabeth, both of whom were born in the family's limestone mansion.
After her brief return to the capital city to live with her niece in the Harrison White House for one month, Jane Findlay returned to Cincinnati where she died in 1851. She is buried with her husband in Spring Grove Cemetery.
