She was married to Adam Group (sometimes spelled Grub) in 1849, Syracuse, NY. According to her obituary in The Post-Standard, Syracuse, NY on Monday morning, February 2, 1914, Rosena was born 28 Feb 1833, Redwood, Jefferson County, NY. I can find 15 Harger in the 1850 Federal Census for Jefferson County, all but two living in the town of Pamelia. The closest logical choice for a father is Abram Harger, born 1785, Connecticut (according to the 1850 Federal Census of Pamelia, Jefferson County, NY. His wife name was Betsey, born 1790, New York State, according to the same census. Abram Harger is listed in several books of the area as being the postmaster in 1837 and supervisor (town of Pamelia) in 1850. It is additionally stated that Abram Harger built the first stone hotel in Pamelia Four Corners some time shortly after 1821. It is a long shot, but I have tentatively decided that this Abrams & Betsey Harger! are the parents to Rosena. I am curious if anyone has information on the children of Abrams & Betsey Harger, the church they may have attended (for record purposes) or where they may be buried. The marriage certificate for Adam Group and Rosena Harger lists Mary Harger as one of the witness. Perhaps Mary is her sister? I would appreciate any information on this family. Thank you.
