My great great grandmother, Harriet Cairns, lived in Mansfield, Ohio and was born there in
1816, dying there in 1896. Her Mother was named Harriet and her father was Joseph. I would
be very interested to know the PA connection.
I know nothing of Robert at all. My Harriet Cairns was married twice; a Jared Irwin in
1836 then William McLaughlin 1840, a general is the Union Army with Sherman's Brigade.
He died in 1862 and his widow was insturmental in the GAR serving as President as did her
daughter Virginia.
I look forward to hearing from you!
