Jerome Bonaparte Harmon

Jerome and his wife Nancy are briefly mentioned in The Descendants of CAPT Thomas Carter, of which her ancestors are the chief subject :

c. Margaret, married Jezreel Groseclose, of Wythe county (now Bland) and had issue three daughters: Adeline married Maj. ------- Repass; Nancy married Jerome Harmon; and Ibbie married Dr. Repass. No other data.

Jerome's wife Nancy died in 1886 at age 51, and Jerome lived the last 33 years of his life as a widower -- but apparently not alone. In the 1910 census he had 3 sons, 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren living with him (the last being the children of his daughter Clotilda who died in Utah in 1897). In an unusual coincidence, Jerome's mother Fannie, like his wife Nancy, had also died at age 51, leaving his father a widower for the last 32 years of his life.
