The Moravian ...The Moravian tradition is true also. The Moravian missionaries kept wonderful records, which named people they visited. The Harman names can be found among their jottings. The missionaries were told by one of the Harman's that his father or grandfather (can't remember which) was a Moravian. Here is a link that explains Moravian beliefs: https://www.newsmax.com/fastfeatures/moravians-protestant-beliefs-christians/2015/04/02/id/636022/<br />ztnoblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192494474879562468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688481187808508351.post-25906100519093175922018-12-18T13:13:15.853-05:002018-12-18T13:13:15.853-05:00What interesting family stories you've collect...What interesting family stories you've collected. I don't know exactly how you're related, but you are most likely a descendant of Heinrich Adam Hermann/Adam Harman. And I don't know whether Fred Harman, the Disney animator is a relative, but Debbie Reynolds can be traced to a brother of Heinrich Adam Hermann's named Phillip. Adam Harman's sons Henry and Mathias were definitely in the Revolutionary War. Their service has been verified by Daughters of the American Revolution.<br />ztnoblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192494474879562468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688481187808508351.post-61017912839319451972018-12-17T23:26:44.660-05:002018-12-17T23:26:44.660-05:00I forgot to mention, our Harman's traditionall...I forgot to mention, our Harman's traditionally (though I was raised Catholic from my mother's side) are Methodist. Great Aunt "Pete" or Amanda Ellen (Harman)Etherton said that it's told we were once Morivians in Pennsylvania... whatever that means. I think it's like a Quaker maybe.

My grandfather was Fred K Harma...I am 56 years old. My grandfather was Fred K Harman,of Rush Tower Missouri. His Father (my great grandfather) James Henry Harman, and his father was Winfield Scott Harman. I've been told that we were Pennsylvania Dutch, moved to Virginia then migrated to Kentucky,then Southern Illinois and later Missouri. They settled in Missouri prior to WW1. It's been told that an ancestor served in the revolutionary war. Winfield Scott fought for the Confederacy. James Henry blew up his right hand firing his father's black powder Confederate revolver as a young man. All cylinders discharged at once and his right hand had to later be amputated due to infection. My grandfather Fred Kuhlmann Harman was killed in WW11. They were woodsman and sharecroppers. It's told that they were also good with horses and mules. It's also said that they were bootleggers. They lived very modestly and were not too educated. All of Grandfather Harman's family have long passed on. My father Marvin Scott Harman,(also deceased) talked about his "Kentucky Cousins" whom they visited years ago. He also told that we were related to Fred Harman, Disney animator and Cowboy artist. Supposedly sum how Debbie Reynolds is also a long lost relative. Our Harman's never met a stranger, tend to die young and would rather hunt,play music and tell stories than earn money. They love family, Country living,guns, hunting and good hunting dogs. Liver problems seem to be herititary. Is our bunch possibly decendents of Hienrich or Mathias? Mathew is a common family name. So is Phillip, Fredrick, Martin,Scott and Henry Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176449223965079682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688481187808508351.post-32374617719617572182015-11-12T13:03:11.489-05:002015-11-12T13:03:11.489-05:00Your Mathias, doodad 3366, is the same one Okie Fi...Your Mathias, doodad 3366, is the same one Okie Fields refers to in the comment above. He was "my" Mathias' uncle (Henry, Sr.'s brother). So he was my 5th great grand uncle, too, I think--if I figured that correctly.ztnoblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192494474879562468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688481187808508351.post-65485884900828740502015-11-12T12:24:11.934-05:002015-11-12T12:24:11.934-05:00Mathias Harman who was married to Lydia Skaggs is ...Mathias Harman who was married to Lydia Skaggs is my 5th Great Grand UncleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100317505154432733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688481187808508351.post-730194620572158522014-05-15T08:12:19.952-04:002014-05-15T08:12:19.952-04:00Not a problem.
