John Harshaw (1759-1800), father of Edward Harshaw of Townland Carnefarn in County Londonderry, Barony of Tirkeeran, Ulster is as far back as our family has been able to go on the Harshaw tree. Edward has been confirmed in the 1831 census of Londonderry, along with his sister, Mary (Maria). They are living in two separate properties in Carnefarn and these properties have been located and photographed in 2003-4. Edward married Margaret Hare and their son, David Hare Harshaw (1814-1899) immigrated to the United States in 1844. Nancy Wilson (1820-1868) of nearby Townland Lisglass, immigrated in 1847 to Philadelphia where she and David married. I'm doing most of my research on the Wilson's to determine Nancy's lineage. In doing so, I've been able to find other interesting family members along the way, most in the 1800's. Those surnames are: Jameison, Pollak, Hare, McClure, Cooker, White, Harvey, Keener, Castle.
