So is it possible that John Bounell could be HJ Bounel and they also are part of the Land Trust?.

The purpose of my entry was to indicate a like surname in Chicago, in 1880. Now I have just,even now, spent more time to run down the name, Harrison J Bounel. Maybe there is a logical explaination.

No census, no marriage, no death, no birth record. Hopefully if someone can find any record it will be all to the good. At least some sort of reference to relatives could be made, or he himself, might clear matters up. Now I reasoned - playing the devils advocate, that if it was a made up name, there must be some sort of original reference. It is a long shot, but if the eventual descendants of the English born Bounell, have some sort of like name, it could be a clue.

Again, Harrison J Bounel could be the "man who never was"- myself I hope he can be found.

When this first came out there was a reference that either Harrison Bounel or Obama had property on Washington Ave in Deer Park Long Island. There is a row of streets named after Presidents that Washington Avenue is within. The names are Grant through Harrison, with Washington in the middle. I think This is where they came up with the name Harrison.
