Does anyone have marriage records for Susan and Aaron Jr, I am from a Harwood Line that would be Aaron's brother Samuel J Harwood.
Aaron Sr took his family to New York from Braintree Vermont, where he had fell on hard times and became a preacher. Our family story is that sons of Aaron Sr and Abigail Ford Harwood, left New York and traveled by oxen cart to Potosi Wisconsin where they split up. I have tracked brother William, who kept his mother Abigail living with him in Elgin, Illinois, Aaron Jr who made it to Minnesota, Samuel (named after his Grandfather (Samuel Harwood and Lydia Kinne) lived and died in Wisconsin, brother Philander died in Vermont before the family left for New York. Samuel and his wife Anna Nancy Lewis were last living in Moriah NY before appearing in Wisconsin's Grant County and eventually Richland County where I was born. We have no definitive track on where Aaron Sr. family traveled in New York or where any of the children were married. A history of Braintree Vt lists Abigail's Ford brothers as preachers, but other records show perhaps they were merchants. AaronSr. son Samuel was a charred coal maker for the blast furnaces of the lead and iron industry. So prior to the westward trek he was near the Blast Furnaces of Crown Point NY.
