Notes - William's birth date varies depending upon the source. His cemetery stone said he died on Mar. 1, 1867 and was age 70 years, 11 months and 2 days. This suggests his birth date was a bit earlier than found in other sources giving him a 1798 birth date. He is buried in the same row with his family. William Harp learned his trade, tailoring, in Philadelphia. He went west and settled in Dayton, Ohio from 1814-1823. He is listed as living in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1835. In 1833 he had moved to West Milton, Union Twp. and remained there until his death. </line><line /><line>In the 1860 census record his property and goods are listed as being worth a little over $4000.00. His daughter and son-in-law Ann and John Secrist lived with he and his wife. (C-79) He was born in Pennsylvania in his son's 1900 census records. (C-32) In the Oct. 1850 census for Miami Co., Ohio, Union Twp., he is listed at age 52, a merchant, b. in Pennsylvania, whose property was worth $300.00 at the time. His wife Rhoda was age 48, a female, b. in Kentucky. The box is checked that they were both married within that year. That doesn't match with other family information we've found. If true, it would mean that Rhoda was not the mother of William's children. Son Jackson Harb was age 25, b. in Ohio and a merchant. Son Lafayette was age 16, b. in Ohio and a clerk by trade. He had attended school that year. Calvin was age 15, with the rest of his data matching his brother, Lafayettes. Daughter, Eliza was 12, Charles was age 5, born Ohio. Note that many of the children were called by their middle names. </line><line /><line>Up to 3 of his children were missing from this 1850 census. William's wife, Rhoda Harb, lived 4 houses away from Johnson P. Mast, another family member, in the 1880, Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio census. She was 77 at the time, born in Kentucky, her father was born in New Jersey and her mother in Kentucky. The census taker marked that she could not write. She was living with Anna E. Secrist, age 41, her daughter, who was also a widow. (C-385) William's son, William B. Harb was a dry goods merchant in Willshire, Van Wert Co., Ohio and had 7 children with Caroline Harper, his wife. (C-387)
