They had a son named George W. married to Sarah Spangler. It has been my brick wall for many years trying to find Harrison's parents. Any help, Anna in AZ" Anna, sorry I am no help. I know that Harrison showed up in Myerstown about the same time as my Thomas Henry DeHart's father, Amos Dehart did (about 30 yo in 1850 census), along with a Caroline DeHart (about 17yo in 1850 census). My Amos & Your Harrison were close in age and lived near each other, so possibly they may have been brothers or cousins. Unfortunately, I have no info on Amos, Caroline or Harrison before they appear in the 1850 census. I don't know their parents. I don't even know where Amos DeHart and his wife Lovina Schmidt (nee Dieffenbach) DeHart are buried, although I do know that Lovina died in 1901. Was Caroline Amos's first wife or sister since they were living together with the Noll family in 1850? I know that Amos & Caroline were born in Penna., as were the each member of the Noll family they were living with. Amos is shown as a Laborer with $1000 the value of Real Estate owned. The Noll family is listed first with Nicholas Noll listed as a 38 yo laborer. Interestingly, his name includes no real estate value, even though his family is listed first of the two households at that address. There is an 18 year difference in the age between Nicholas Noll's wife Mary Noll and Caroline DeHart. The first Noll chiild shown on the census is melinda at 11 yo - which would make Mary 24 yo at the birth of her first child...a bit late in those days, but still possible. So one avenue I am still exploring is the possibility that the Nolls were Amos DeHart's inlaws from a possible first marriage. By the 1860 census Amos was married to Lovina Dieffenbach and their son Thomas Henry DeHart was 6yo & their older son Samuel was 8yo. Karen
