Jacob S. Harris and Margaret Balder
Hello,
My great-great-grandfather was Jacob S. Harris who married Margaret Balder in Tuscarawas Co., 13 Aug 1865. A 1900 Clay Co. IN census which contained my great-grandfather, Phillip Harris, Jacob and Margaret's son, stated that Phillip's father,Jacob, was born in Ohio and his mother, Margaret, was born in Germany. This might have been Jacob's 2nd marriage. I estimate Jacob was born abt. 1838 and Margaret around 1840. Was East Germany Prussia then? I want to find any information about the Harrises and Balders from Tuscarawas Co., Ohio.
Thank you...any information is greatly appreciated!
