George and Francis had two children (see below): George Ernest Spooner (b. 1877) and Susan Claudia Spooner (b. 1878). According to the 1880 and 1900 census, both George Harlan and George Ernest were farmers while Susan Claudia was a teacher. George Ernest Spooner married Eva Powell in 1898. And he is supposed to have had a second wife. Susan Claudia married someone and may have had a son by the name of Arthur. There is extensive information on George Harlan's ancestors on the internet. I found the family in the 1880 and 1900 censuses, but could not find them after that. Below is a genealogy report on the family with my sources. Did George Ernest and his wife have children? IF so, how many and what were their names. Who did Susan marry? What were the names of her children? Willing to share information.
