Sarah Harshaws Sons

Supposedly Andrew, David, Michael, and William were all in the US by the early 1830's. There's a record of Sarah buying land in Mercer county in 1833. In the 1840 census David and William show up. But their ages and family compositions don't match well. Sarah could be living with William and wife, with a young son and someone else. The census shows 2 males 20-30--William might fit, but none of his brothers do, unless the census taker was sloppy. David Harshaw appears to be in a childless marriage--2 people in the household.

Neither Michael nor Andrew show up.
