Cousin Marjorie and her son are searching for living Harshaws in the various lines to take DNA tests to identify relationships. I thought I'd document the various branches as currently understood.
The Loughgilly branch--this is Andrew (d1813), his wife Sarah and their children, most of whom emigrated to the US, including my great grandfather Michael, and his brothers Andrew and William, and sister Sarah. Wikipedia says: " Loughgilly (/lɒxˈɡɪli/ lokh-GIL-ee; from Irish: Loch Gile[1] or Loch Goilí)[2] is a small village, townland and civil parish in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It is on the main Armagh to Newry road, about halfway between the two. It is within the Armagh City and District Council area. It had a population of 84 people (42 households) in the 2011 Census.[3] (2001 census: 69 people)"
The Derry/Londonderry branch is

The Washington County Harshas
