Let's be a little more patient and work it out, rather than just saying it is all screwed up. There were a number of people with the same names; Dorothy Harness and George Renick are just two examples. Many people of that day did not know how to read or write and there were numerous different spellings for the same name. I have seen several spellings of Michael Harness's wife's maiden name -- Jephebeloy, Jepebo, Jephebe, Zephebe. I do know for a fact that my 3g-grandmother was Dorothy Harness, wife of George Renick and their graves are in Chillicothe, Ohio. They did marry in 1802 in Moorefield and she died in 1820. Her father was George Harness, Sr., his will was written on January 6, 1815 and proven in Hardy County on May 13, 1823. The will is at the Pickaway County Historical Society in Circleville, Ohio. He left his son-in-law George Renick and his daughter Dorothy five hundred pounds. His will is signed with his mark, so presumably he did not know how to write. I visited Olivet Cemetery and saw the tombstones of George Harness, Sr. and his wife Elizabeth. I have always been more interested in the Renick family since they were in Ohio. As for the rest of the Harness family, I don't know much. I did attend a Harness Farm celebration in Chillicothe. At the time, their farm had been in the Harness family continuously from 1798 to 1998. Their ancestor George Harness (born 1759, married to Rebecca Casey) bought the approximately 1600 acre property at auction; the deed is dated July 18, 1798 and was signed by Thomas Jefferson (president) and James Madison (secretary of state). Perhaps, since the geneology I got from Moorefield library is incorrect, someone would share their version. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roland Elliott" <rolandelliott@inreach.com> To: <wvhardy@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 10:21 PM Subject: Re: [WVHARDY] Dorothy Harness, George Renick > Screwed up to far to correct.Dorothy was the First White girl born in > Hampshire/Hardy county to Michael and Elizabeth 1741 she married Samuel > Hornbeck.Philip Youkum married Elizabeth Harness 1750 she was born 1727 in > PA or MD and died 1894 in Hampshire she and he are buried in Pansy Cem. > Petersburg. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Barbara Renick" <brenick@columbus.rr.com> > To: <wvhardy@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 6:57 PM > Subject: Re: [WVHARDY] Dorothy Harness, George Renick > > >>I have the following, taken from a geneology chart at the Moorefield >>library. >> 1 Michael Harness >> sp Elizabeth Jasper >> 2 Peter Harness >> sp Barbara Devries >> 3 Michael Harness (Jan 1700 - 3 Mar 1783) born in York County, Pa. >> His will was probated 8 Mar 1785 >> sp Elizabeth Tepebo (Jephebe/Westfall) (c 1706) >> 4 John Harness (1725) >> 4 Elizabeth Harness >> 4 Jacob Harness (died in infancy) >> 4 Barbara (Rebecca) Harness >> 4 Conrad Harness >> 4 Adam Harness >> 4 Leonard Harness >> 4 George Harness Sr. (2 January 1739 or 40 - 7 Apr 1823) born >> Hardy >> Co.
