A recent post asked about this family. I am looking at Vol II of "The
Harshman/Hashman/Hershman/Hersman'Hirshman'Hurshman/Hursman Faily by Corey
and Mavourneer Harshman. The family is mentioned on page 871 of this
volume. Albert Vester Harshman is a son of Amos Harshman and Margaret Jane
McFarland. His lineage comes down through Abram, Peter, and Ulrich
Harshman. There is much more detail about earlier generations in the
Harshman series, but the family came from VA to SW Ohio in the early
1800's. Albert was b in Clinton Co IN on 17 Mar 1870 and died in Brazil on
19 Sep 1953. He had married Minnie Fortner in Paris IL c 1892. She was b
Quaker IN 8 Jul 1872 d Brazil 15 Apr 1940. Her parents were Jonas Fornter
and Amanda Dixon. Albert and Minnie were Quakers. Since Albert's paternal
line was German, I suspect he accepted his wife's faith.
Per the Harshman book, the couple had 10 children: Opal, Lennu Lu, Bertie,
Flo, Flossie, Margaret, Cherles Verner, Eva, Everett, and Louise.
The family appears to have lived for a time in Parke Co. Two daughters
married into Hursh and Jackson families and lived in Parke Co and several
children were born there. There is more information about
grandchildren, and it's possible some of these are living.
