上海老城厢乔家路143号,为明末将领乔一琦故居,西侧药局弄口墙上钉着"最乐堂遗址"牌子。现"最乐堂"仅有遗迹可寻。明朝熹宗皇帝嘉奖其义,封赠乔为左府都督同知,袭陛四级,子本卫世袭百户。乾隆皇帝在苏州见到乔的后裔乔光烈时称赞说:"汝家真文武世家也"。乔一琦遗像原供于药局弄乔氏宗祠,"文革"初期遭焚。如今,在乔家路143号门前,尚存一块方形花岗岩旗杆石,正面刻三支戟,民间传说寓意"连升三级"。

Benjamin Harrison I (1594–1648) arrived in the Virginia colony around 1630, and Thomas Harrison (1 March 1619 – August 1682) was an English nonconformist minister. They both were the sons of Robert Harrison, a merchant, from Yorkshire, England. Isaiah Harrison (Born September 25, 1666 Chester, Cheshire, England), the son of Thomas Harrison, came to America on January 2, 1687.
Isaiah Harrison's granddaughter Bathsheba married Captain Abraham Lincoln and they were President Lincoln's grandparents.


Benjamin Harrison V in 1772 joined a Virginia House of Burgesses committee, including Thomas Jefferson, which submitted a petition to King George, requesting that he abolish the slave trade. The King, however, rejected it.
The Harrison families eventually abandoned their slaveholding as the abolitionist movement began to take hold with the civil war. Future President Benjamin Harrison had already begun his political career in Indiana and joined the fledgling Republican party in 1856, then being built in opposition to slavery. Abraham Lincoln similarly joined that party, and made effective efforts to end slavery by his Emancipation Proclamation, the victory of his Union army in the Civil War, and his promotion of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

《1619》完全不提废奴领袖林肯以废奴为核心信条建立了共和党,为了维护宪法,避免联邦分裂,为了解放奴隶,他带领北方与南方打了一场内战,并在1862发表了《解放奴隶宣言》“The Emancipation Proclamation” 使南方联盟的奴隶得到自由。他积极促成宪法第十三修正案以真实赋予黑人自由权利,以至于最后被人仇恨刺杀。-----by 启木
