Have you ever come across "Abias Avis Harmon"? Born out of wedlock in WVA and not mentioned in family records. Thanks Juanita Harmon Riechers

hello desertdweller,

no I haven't come across Abias 'Avis' Harmon (1825-1899) born in Virginia. Some of the above were born in Machia, Maine (1,000 miles away) but it is possible there was a connection. Maybe another reader will know
