bullet Research Notes:

1820 OH Census, Harrison Co, Green Twp. Page 53. (Is this him?)
1 male 26-45 (1775-1794) Michael
1 female 26-45 (1775-1794) Wife?
1 female over 45 (before 1775) Mother? Mother-in-law?
1 person employed in manufacturing. (Wagon making?)

1830 OH Census, New Jefferson, Harrison Co, German Twp. Page 132. (Is this him?)
1 male 40-50 (1780-1790) Michael
1 female 20-30 (1800-1810) ??
1 female 30-40 (1790-1800) Wife?
Next door is another Michael, aged 20-30 (1800-1810)

1850 Census, District 13, Wapello Co, IA. Enumerated with George Harman family. Age 64 (1786) Next door are
1) the Thomas Winders (Eliza's husband and kids) and
2) Sarah Harman 38 b. OH, with Sylvester 27 b. IA and Eliza A 5 b. IA.

Some claim this to be George Harman's father, since they lived together, but Michael would have been 12 years old when George was born. Which is why I suspect they were brothers.

bullet Noted events in his life were:

1. Alt Birth, 24 Jan 1786, , Bedford, Pennsylvania, USA. Undocumented, by Jean Humble Fineran on ancestry.com. But note that Michael got progressively younger with each census, so the date, at least, might well be correct.
