Over a long and winding road, I have locked in on a group of Harron ancestors and found satisfactory evidence.
The path leads up to a family of Harrons in Ireland (in Donegal, and possibly some time in Antrim), most of whom emigrated to the United States and Canada.
I have the names of much of the group of siblings that make up this family.
William Harron/Herron (married Nancy or Ann) (left Ireland around 1846 I think)
Mary (emigrated around the same time as William, 1846ish)
Andrew Harron (married Margaret Kincaid / Kincade) (born c.1794)
Robert Harron (moved to Philadelphia)
Martha
Catherine
They are all mentioned in a letter from Andrew to Robert, sent just before Andrew Left Ireland with his family in 1847.
Nothing I have identifies their parents who raised them in Ireland, though MANY public trees point to the same two people.
Several people making their own trees seem rather confident that the parents are Patrick Harron/Herron (1750-1806) and Mary Spence (1756-1843).
I would like to find at least some document or registration or census or other form of evidence that links these names together as a group.
I haven't yet found anything.
