In the 1880 Federal Census of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, Sarah A. Harrison headed a household consisting of herself, age 52, born in Maryland (she stated that her father was born in England and her mother was born in Maryland); Charles L. Harrison, age 23, born in Ohio, occupation clerk; and daughter, Hattie L., age 21.
Their children listed in Zephaniah Harrison's will were: Benjamin Harrison, Zephaniah Harrison, William H. Harrison, Jr. (note--Mr. Russell wrote that William Harrison, Jr. fathered a son George W. Harrison--this may be an error, George W., was their son, or their may have been two George W. Harrison's), Charles Harrison, Edward Harrison and Hattie Harrison. From census data and the will of his father, Zephaniah Harrison, their children were:
4.1.1.1 George W. Harrison, was born in about 1848 in Ohio.
4.1.1.2 Benjamin Harrison, was born in about 1849 in Ohio. There is one Benjamin Harrison in the 1880 Federal Census of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. His birth year and birthplace match exactly. The only discrepancy is the place of birth that he listed for his mother, he listed her place of birth as Maine, not Maryland. His occupation also matches the 1870 census, in 1880 he listed his occupation as a civil engineer. The census may have been enumerated by himself, it was recorded by B.W. Harrison, on page 245C:

Herbert m 5 Son Ohio Ohio Ohio
Ruth f 2 1/2 Daughter Ohio Ohio Ohio
Kate f 1 Daughter Ohio Ohio OhioBy 1900 Benjamin had forgotten that his parents started out in Maryland. From the 1900 Federal Census of Millcreek Township, Bond Hill Precinct, Hamilton County, Ohio, ED# 301, sheet 5B, their household listed (Benjamin and Emily both stated that they had been married for 27 years; Emily stated that she had given birth to 3 living children; all birthplaces were recorded as Ohio):

Ruth [?] Daughter Sep 1877 22
Kate S. Daughter Feb 1879 21It was the 1910 Federal Census that confirmed that Benjamin was indeed the Benjamin Harrison whose parents both were born in Maryland. However, it was not without a twist. Emily, was age 60 and was enumerated as the head of household in Cincinnati, 13th Ward, Hamilton County, Ohio, ED# 377, sheet 7B, with her 2 daughters, Ruth, single, age 28, occupation listed as a wholesale milliner and Catherine, age 26, single, working in a department store. Emily listed her marital status as married, she stated that she had been so for 37 years and also stated that all three children were still living. Somehow Benjamin was skipped--however, he did go to the census office and recorded the following information on a supplemental form (Cincinnati, 6th Ward, Hamilton County, Ohio, ED# 75, sheet 10A):
Harrison, Benj. W. Head 61 M137 Ohio Maryland Maryland Civil Engineer
Benjamin and Emily were both still living in 1920--in separate households, which may be why he wasn't included in the 1900 census information. He was age 70 and listed his marital status as married, Emily was age 67 and also listed her marital status as married. Both of their daughters, Ruth, now age 36, occupation stenographer, and Catherine, now age 34, occupation bookkeeper, were still single and living with their mother.
Ruth and Catherine were both still unmarried in 1930. They were living together in Cincinnati, Ruth listed her age as 50 and Catherine stated that she was 48.
Benjamin W. Harrison's photograph and his name appears on the Hamilton County, Ohio website he is shown as the County Surveyor from 1893-1902. Their three children were:
4.1.1.2.1 Herbert Harrison, was born in December 1874 in Maryland.
4.1.1.2.2 Ruth Harrison, was born in September 1877 in Ohio.
4.1.1.2.3 Catherine S. Harrison, was born in February 1879 in Ohio.
4.1.1.3 Zephaniah Harrison, was born in about 1851 in Ohio. In the 1880 Federal Census, "Zeph Harrison" and his brother Edward P. Harrison, both railroad engineers, were living in Carbondale, Jackson County, Illinois (they were both single). Zeph Harrison, must have become ill in what was described in the news article as the "scourge", from the Newark Daily Advocate, dated 15 October 1888:
"Disappearing.Zeph Harrison is listed in city directories for Jacksonville Florida 1888-1893 and in the 1900 Federal Census of Precinct 25, Gilmore, Duval County, Florida. Zeph was single, age 49, birth in August 1850 in Maryland, father's place of birth listed as Maryland, mother's place of birth listed as Ohio. He listed his occupation as a civil engineer. I did not find him in 1910.

He is at Sand Hills, where many patients go now from choice."
4.1.1.4 William H. Harrison, Jr., was born in about 1853 in Ohio. William did marry and was enumerated in his father-in-law's household in the 1880 Federal Census of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, District 130, page 69A:

4.1.1.5 Charles L. Harrison, was born in about 1857 in Ohio.
4.1.1.6 Hattie or Harriet Harrison, was born in about 1859 in Ohio.
4.1.1.7 Edward Harrison, was born in about 1861 in Ohio. He was in Illinois with his brother "Zeph" Harrison in 1900 (see above) working for the railroad.
4.1.1.8 Sally Harrison, was born in about 1866 in Ohio. She appeared in the 1870 census at age 4 years old, she was not listed in the 1880 household.
4.1.2 Josiah Harrison, born on 23 January 1821 in Maryland and died on 6 August 1874 (he was deceased prior to the of the settlement of his father's will in 1882). His widow was listed as Rebecca Harrison (in the 1850 and 1870 censuses her name was recorded as Ann R.). They are both buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, in Frederick, Maryland (his name is spelled "Joshue" on his marker, which may or may not be the original marker, his date of birth on his cemetery marker gives his date of birth as 1815--which doesn't match any of the census data). Josiah died in 1880 and Ann Rebecca died in September 1891 (her date of burial is listed as 16 September 1891, the cemetery record listed her maiden name as "Ludwig").
There is a marriage listed in Frederick County which looks to be about right:
JOSIAH R. HARRISONIn the 1860 Federal Census of Frederick City, Frederick County, Maryland, he was living next door to his parents, Zephaniah and Mary Harrison, his household consisted of:
Spouse: LUDWICK, ANN R.
Marriage Date: 8 May 1844
