Harrison family.
John McDonogh (1779-1850) was a businessman, investor, planter, and educational philanthropist. In his will, he designated large sums to several charitable causes, including the McDonogh School Fund which resulted in the creation of twenty-eight schools in New Orleans, two in his plantation, McDonoghville, and many in his birthplace, Baltimore, Md. Eighty of John McDonogh's slaves were sent to Liberia through the American Colonization Society. Possibly the McDonogh bequest was held by Alexander P. Harrison in Harrison's role as tax collector.
