Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11288 Surname: Harness, Hackard, Kemery, Kemmerer ------------------------- I am looking for information on four Harness families who lived in or near Van Buren County starting in the 1840's.

Michael died in 1858 and is buried in Harness Cemetary. Seaton L. and Malinda Harness born about 1814 and appears to be the first Harness to be in Van Buren County in the 1840's Andrew Harness appears in 1850 cencus. Any help, on these families would be greatly appreciated. Are they brothers?
