I found these notes on Gedpage. If you saw the response I sent to Alma about german naming patterns you might see where I am trying to go with this information. I am confused by the different dates I am getting for all the Harkey/Herche men. I have applied for David Harkey's land grant application, hopefully lost information can be found there. You are absolutely right, it is hard to believe Johannes was so young when he fathered his first child, according to these files, Conrad. Maybe Conrad is not a son? Bear with me, I am new to this. If I am driving you all nuts let me know. And yes, I don't know about you guys, but I feel very documentally challenged!!
