The following may be your HARMONs. If so, I can put you in contact with a researcher that has a massive amount of documented information on them. (The earlier HARMONs were fairly well-known Indian fighters in VA ... originally from Germany.) George Washington Harmon, son of Mathias (b: 1774, NC, wife: Mary), b: 1821, prob. in Washington Co, IN, married Martha I. GREEN (b: abt. 1825, IN.) on Dec. 18, 1842. 1850 Washington Co, IN (Posey twp) census shows George, Martha I, along with children: Thomas L., 6; Wm. M., 5; Mary E., 2 and Nimrod, 8/12. Further research added: Violet, b: 1855; Maria, b: 1857 and Harriet, b: 1858. As you can see, your John, Frank and Elmer's birthyears would fit. Quite possibly they've never been found since they were born in IL? While living in Washington Co, IN, they lived near Hardinsburg, but moved to Sullivan Co., IN afterwards. Hope this helps. Please let me know.

Dear County List, As of this morning, we have uploaded a page with some church history and surnames of members (as far as we have them) for Edgar County, which may be of some help to researchers who have ancestors who were members of the Primitive Baptist church. We have now entered similar pages for over 60 counties in Illinois, as a link to our homepage on our website. The information regarding the members names comes from a database in our library computer which is not on-line, but the surnames serve as an index to it, to help researchers determine if they may have connections in some of our churches. The database has been (and is still being added to) compiled from original source documents, including church and association records, and obituaries - many of which are found in our shelves of bound church periodicals. We are lacking many of the records for Edgar county, and would love to find out if any of them exist, so we would appreciate from anyone who may be able to help us. To see our website, go to our homepage: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html or go directly to the Family History Assistance page at: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist.html Sincerely, Robert L.
