Cathy, I have a rather "indirect" Harter line you might be interested in. It is a Henry Harter b. 1801 in VA married to a Sarah Phillips. They had 8 children. Henry's father is Jacob Harter his mother was Elizabeth Hautz. I just have bare names a approx. birth years for them. Sarah's parents were Hezekiah Phillips and Katherine Lybrook. If you are interested at all, let me know.
