Trying to locate additional info regarding children: Samuel J Harten and Andrew L Harten (wife and if any children). I believe Samuel may have died early in his youth but not sure; have not found a burial at Solomons Island for him.
Might you be able to provide additional info or any leads on these children of George and Elizabeth Elliott Harten or any of the rest of family?
Thank you kindly for your time and assistance. Much appreciated.
