Biography

Research Notes

Unsupported Child Henry Harman b. 1785 d. 1854

On 4 August 2010, this profile for Henry Harman was created via import. This profile was created with the following details:

• Name: Henry Harman
• Birth: 1785 in Abbotststown, Adams, Pennsylvania, United States
• Death 21 Oct 1854 in Harrison, Preble, Ohio, United States
• Father: George Harman (George Harman)
• Mother: Anna Harman (Anna (Gardner) Harman)

The above information immediately poses a challenge: Anna Gardner was the wife of George's brother, Johann Adam Harman. George Harman and Anna Gardner were never married and there is zero evidence that they had a child out of wedlock. Also, the birth year and location for this profile make it challenging to accept that either George or Johann Adam was the father. As described, this Henry Harman is not a child of either George or Johann Adam.

There were two sources that were imported during the creation of this profile. Examining those two sources provides no insight, and only suggests that the imported Henry was possibly the result of conflation (Note: The details for these two sources are only visible in the WikiTree Change History for this profile - after import, they were removed from this profile's biography):

• Ancestry Family Trees - There is a URL associated with this source (http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/AMTCitationRedir.aspx?tid=19491965&pid=810255748) but following that link leads to Ancestry's "page no longer exists" error page. That URL does include an Ancestry Tree ID and Person ID, but building and following a URL using those IDs provided no information. This source is essentially useless.
• U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 - The specific record within this collection was not apparent, but is seems that the source was for a marriage that occurred in 1787 in Virginia for someone who was born in 1765. Note: The birth year for the marriage participant is twenty years earlier than the birth year imported with this profile. Also note: These marriage details are oddly similar to the birth and marriage details of Johann Adam Harman.

This profile has been modified to no longer indicate Anna (Gardner) Harman as the mother, but George Harman was left as the father in order to avoid completely disconnecting this profile from the overall tree. If you have a more ideal solution for how to handle this profile, you are encouraged to implement it.
