Note 10:
THE FAMILY OF
JOHN HARMAN
- John Harman
stuff:
- 1860
I
checked the 1860
Census, but John, Margaret and family were not present in Bee Branch
Township,
Chariton County Mo. Another location needs to be
found as they immigrated to the US in 1857 according to the 1910 census.
- 1870
- I know of his earliest
existence from the 1870 Census (see
above) 1870
Federal
Census in Bee Branch Township for Chariton Co, MO, (ED 27) sheet 137.
- This census states his
first name as John without middle initial.
- He
was
45 years old in
1870 so I assume from this age he was born about 1825 and the census
says
in S-----?, Germany.
- His
parents
were both
born in Prussia. No names have been found.
- He
was
married to Margaret
(age 39 --> b. 1831 in Saxony)
- His
children
were daughters
Alice, Celia M., and sons Frederick and Frank who were all born in
Missouri
so that means the John and Margaret were living in Missouri by 1864
when
Alice was born. He immigrated to the US in 1857 accornding to the 1900
census.
- 1880
- He is listed in the
1880
Census (see above)
for Bee Branch Township
for
Chariton Co, MO, (See Map)
(ED 164) sheet 41
- He was listed as 50 in
this census
- He
had
a new wife, Pauline
(age 23 --> b. 1857 in Prussia)
- His
children
were Celia,
Fred, Frank and new children: son Sherman and August, and daughters
Louisa
and Tilie
- 1890
- A
John
Harmon is listed
in the 1890 Special Veterans Census
Chariton County, MO as: ""Harmon, John" add-on to list". I
do not know what this listing refers to in terms of military service.
- 1897
- Really
neatness! A map of
Bynumville, Chariton Co., MO in 1897 shows property of FE, FF, John and
S. Harmon.
- 1900
- He is listed in the
1900
Census (see above)
for Cockrell
Twnshp., Chariton Co, MO ED 34, page 9B) (ancestry.com (pg
18/20);
taken 14 June 1900. Cockrell township
was created about 1900 from Bee Branch township and is the area below
Bynumville in Bee Branch township in the 1876 map shown at: 1876
Map.
- He was listed as John
Harman and age 73 in this census and immigrated to US from Prussia in
1857
- He
also
was listed as
naturalized.
- His
wife,
Paulina
(age 43 --> b. July 1856 in Prussia) and immigrated to US from
Prussia in
1861
- His
children
were Celia,
Fred, Frank and new children: son Sherman and August, and daughters
Louisa
and Tilie
- 1910
- He is listed in the
1910
Census (see above)
for Cockrell Twnshp.,
Chariton
Co, MO (ED 33, page 4B Date: 27 April 1910. Note Cockrell
Township only existed in 1900 and 1910. Cockrell township
was created about 1900 from Bee Branch township and is the area below
Bynumville in Bee Branch township in the 1876 map shown at: 1876
Map.
- He was listed as 89
(probably
84?) in this census
- He
had
been married to 53 yr old
"Palena" for 35 years.
- No
children
were living
with them.
- 1912
- Death:
2
Jun 1912
(chronic nephritis)
in Cockrell
Township,
Chariton Co, MO
He was buried in
Johnson Cemetery,
Lagonda, Chariton Co. MO.
He was 86 yrs 10 months 25 days
old.
(ref: Death
Certificate)
- 1920
- If
his
death date was
1912 (see below) , then he should not be found in 1920 in the
census.
Pauline was found as a widow living with her daughter Tilda Minks in
the
1920 census.
- Other
Notes
- He is listed in the
Church
of Latter Day Saints database (REF)
with
- a
birthdate
of Abt 1839
in Prussia, Germany... which
does not agree too well with the census records because the
- 1870 census: calculated
birthdate: 1825 from stated age of 45
- 1880 census: calculated
birthdate: 1830 from stated age of 50
- 1900 census: stated birthdate:
July 1826 and stated age of 73
- 1910 census: calculated
birthdate: 1826 from stated age of 84
- a
deathdate of 2
Jun 1912... therefore... approx 86 years old at death.
- Death Certificate states
his birthdate to be 7 Jul 1825 in Germany (ref:
Death
Certificate)
Return to top.
- Margaret
Prundon Harmon stuff:
- 1860
- I
checked
the 1860 Census,
but John, Margaret and family were not present in Bee Branch Township,
Chariton County Mo. Another location needs to be
found as he immigrated to the US in 1857 according to the 1910 census.
- 1870
- I
know
of her existence
from the 1870 Census (see above)
which
states her
first
name only.
- She
was
39 years old in
1870 so I assume she was born about 1831 and the census says in Saxony.
- She
was
the daughter of
parents from Prussia
- If
you
look at the entire
listing for Margaret in the 1870 census (ie. the columns to the right
of
what is shown above), it states that she was one of the following: Deaf
and dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, pauper or convict. So perhaps
her
health was not good in 1870 and she did not live much longer, although
Sherman was born in 1872.
- 1880
- She
did
NOT show up in
the 1880 census (see
above) so she may
have died or married.
- Other
Notes
- Her
Date
of Death is not
known but After 1870 and probably after 1872 when Sherman was born.
- Her
Last
name was obtained from Norma Harmon on 9/21/03 as was a death date
of 1873
Return to top.
- Pauline
Bartles (Bartlett?) Harmon
stuff:
- 1870
- After
learning about the Bartles possible last
name, I searched for a Bartles family living near the Harmons in
Chariton Co, MO
- Pauline
was living with her parents August and
Minnie Bartles in Keytesville, Bee Branch Township, in Chariton
Co. along with
brother Arthur and sister Minnie on 8 Jul 1870. From her age of
13, it assumed she was born about 1857 in Prussia.
- Because
youngest daughter Minnie was born in
Illinois about 1864, the Bartles may have moved there first when they
arrived from Prussia about 1861.
- They
lived fairly close to John Harmon (who was
listed about 4 pages earlier in the census book.)
- 1880
- I
know
of Pauline's existence
first from the 1880 census which
states her first name only but as Mrs. John Harmon.
- She
was
23 years old in
1880 so I assume she was born about 1857 and the census says in Prussia.
- She
immigrated
to US from
Prussia in 1861
- She
was
the daughter of
parents from Prussia
- She
also
was listed as
NOT naturalized.
Return to top.
- 1880
Bartlet parents lived again in Bee Branch
Township, Chariton Co, MO on 11 Jun 1880.
- This
is the first use of the Bartlet last
name. Living with August is his wife Minnie, daughter Minnie, son
August (b Abt 1872) and adopted son William (born 1868.
- 1900:
Pauline
Harmon
- She
was
the mother/wife
listed in the 1900 census and she was born in July 1856
- 1910
- She
was
the 53 yr old wife
listed as "Palena" in the 1910 census
- 1920
- I
found
her again listed
as the widow Pauline Harmon (age 63) in the 1920 Census living with her
daughter Tilde Harmon Minks, with family and husband John P. Minks in
Bee
Branch Township in Chariton Co, MO. (ED 26, Sheet 10A) Date: 21
Jan
1920
- I
have
a Ligandi, MO reference
for John and Paulina. But I have never found ANY other reference
to Ligandi at all.... however if you look at Bee Brank Township in
Charition,
Co., Mo.... there is a town called Lagonda.... which is just east of
Wien
and northeast of Bynumville, which are towns mentioned in various
references
about these Harmons. Lagonda is the location for Johnson Cemetery
where they are buried.
- She
is
listed in the Church
of Latter Day Saints database (REF)
- as
the
mother of
Alice, Frederick, Frank, Sherman, Henry August, Louisa, unknown
daughter,
and Mary
- with
a birthdate of Abt.
1843 in Prussia, Germany... which does not agree too
well with the census records because the
- 1880
census: calculated
birthdate: 1857 from stated age of 23
- 1900
census: stated
birthdate:
July 1856 and stated age of 48

alternate
Last name of Bartlett was obtained from Norma Harmon on

- Alice Josephine Harman
stuff:
- 1870
- I
know
of her existence
from the 1870 Census (see above)
which
states her
first
name.
- She
was
6 years old in
1870 so I assume she was born about 1864 and the census says in
Missouri.
- She
was
the daughter of
Margaret and John Harman
- 1880
- She
did
NOT show up in
the 1880 census (see
above) so ... was she was married?
- No
... not married... other resources state that she married a man named
Olson about 1884 because in the 1930 census (see below) it states that
she was 18 when she first married.
- and
had
two 4 children (2 died) and 2 were Margarte M and Rachel E (see
1900 census below)
- Alice
is
listed as Alice Josephine Harmon Olson who married John Henry
Sportsman at REF

I can not find her in 1880

Alice
J. Sportsman (age 35.. born May 1865) with husband John H Sportsman
(age
28-- born Feb 1872) was living in Clark Township, Chariton Co, MO
(district 33) on 13 Jun 1900. They also lived with two step
daughters
Margaret and Rachel Olson. Alice had had 4 children with two
still
living... which apparently were Margaret and Rachel Olson from Alice's
first marriage. Both John and Alice were born in MO, Her parents
born
in Germany (father) and PA (mother). His parents were born in KY
(father) and PA (mother).
- 1910

- An
Alice Sportsman with son Cecil was living in Bosworth, Ridge
Township, Carroll Co, MO on 31 Jan 1920. She was born in IL and
was
55. Cecil was born in IL and 18. The parents were listed as
being
born in the United States! Her ages in 1870 and 1920 are
consistant
with her birth about 1865. She then had given birth to 5 children
(Cecil A was the latest) and two had died.
- 1930
- Alice
Sportsman was living at age 64 as a lodger
in the home of Martius Cramer in Fina, Stokes Mound, Carroll Co, MO on

in her first marriage (to Mr. Olson?)

- Louisa (a.k.a.
Lou)
Harmon (Sinn) stuff:
- 1880
- I
know
of her existence
from the 1880 Census (see
above) which states
her first name as Louisa and age 2 so I assume she was born about 1878
and the census says in Missouri.
- 1900
- She
is
listed as born
in 7/1877 in MO, and named Louisa still living with her parents and
sister
Matilda in the 1900 Census for Bee Branch Township in Chariton Co, MO.
(ED 27, Sheet 41) Jun 1900
- 1910
- She
was
not living with
her parents in the 1910 census (see above)
- I
have
not been able to
find out who she married.
- I
have
not found her with
her own family yet.
- I
know
she was alive then
because I have photos of her in what appears to be at least the 1940s
or
1950s (see PHOTOS)
- She
was
the daughter of
Pauline and John Harman because in the 1910 census, Pauline (Palena)
Harmon
is listed as having only 4 children. I know from my research that
the 4 youngest children of John Harmon are: Henry, Louisa,
Matilda
and Mary.

seen on her website at: LOUISA HARMON

not listed as a surviving relative. The data of the photos suggest that
she survived at least into the 1950s.

- 1880
- I
know
of her existence
from the 1880 Census (see

her first name as Tilie and age 1 so I assume she was born about 1879
and
the census says in Missouri.
- 1900
- She
is
listed as born
in 3/1879 in MO, and named Matilda still living with her parents and
sister
