The family of George Harter 1772ish-1835

 I wish I knew more about this family.  George was likely born in Rockingham County, Virginia, the son of George Harter and possibly Eva Bracker.  (I'm not certain of this connection, but it's a possibility.) His wife is shown as Anna Elizabeth Geiger, but this may be confusion with a later George who married Elizabeth Geiger. Her name may better be recorded, for the time being, as Elizabeth unknown. George died in Burlington Township,Licking County, Ohio in 1835.  

George and Elizabeth had 10 children, and there is very limited information about them, with confusion about birth dates as is often the case for this time period.

Catherine was born about 1800.  She married Richard Holtsberry, the son of Nicholas and Catharine Corbus (?) Holtsberry.  Their known children are Martha, John Nicholas, Gabriel, Harvey, and Mary.   

George was born September 21, 1801.  He married Anna Elizabeth Geiger, daughter of Anthony and Mary Kirk Geiger.  Their children are John, Mary, Henry, Anthony, Elizabeth, and Sarah Ann.  He died in Whitley County, Indiana in 1854, and I will follow this family in a future post.

John Harter was born May 25, 1803.  He married Mary Bower, who remains unidentified.  Their children are Benjamin, William, Harvey, Margaret, Henry, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Catherine.  He died in 1871 in Smith Township, Whitley County, Indiana.

Susannah was born about 1807 and married John Geiger, the son of Anthony and Mary Kirk Geiger.  Sadly, they were married about two years when she died.  I've found no record of children born to them.

Frances Harter is also thought to have been born about 1807.  She married James Holtsberry, the son of Nicholas and Catharine Corbus (?) Holtsberry.  Their children are Catherine, John, Martha, Isaac, Solomon, William, Christenia and Mary Ann.  She died in Licking County, date not known.

Isaac Harter, birth date not known, married Sally Holtsberry.  This was the third Harter-Holtsberry marriage, as Sally was also the daughter of Nicholas and Catharine Corbus (?) Holtsberry.  I have not been able to trace Isaac and would love to know details of his life.

Charlotte was another daughter.  She married Presley Trumbo and probably died before 1850.  They had at least one child, Matthias.

Gabriel Harter is said to have married Edy Boners.  I have no further information about him.

Finally, there is Christian, who is believed to have married a Catherine.  

I don't know why there is so little information about some of these last Harters.  I am not locating any in of them in the 1850 census, anywhere in the country.  There was a terrible cholera epidemic in 1833-1834.  Did they die then, or later?  More research needs to be done, to complete the story of this family.
