From the book I have it says:

"Elizabeth "Betty" Harrison was a first cousin to William Henery Harrison, better know as "Old Tippercanoe", the 9th President of the United States. Benjamin Harrison, her uncle, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. John and Betty Reams and family moved to Laurel Co., KY about 1826.
