I don't have George Harkleroad in my files, however. Who is he? And which H is this? Would it be Johan Heinrich 1746-1836, who died in Sullivan Co 1836 or Henry 1788-1869? After I wrote the dates for Johan Heinrich "Henry" I proclaimed, that cannot be right. Then I checked, our little soldier lived to be 90. Or at least to his 90th year. If you see the grandmother of Travis, please give her tell people on the list are thinking of her and her family. Also, I hope your aunt makes a full recovery. William
