This is not the son of Jacob Harmon and Catherine Misemer. He is a cousin that lived 5 miles down the road from this family and is the son of Jacob's brother. There were 2 separate Harmon families who were related with the same names for their children. Extreme caution when researching this family because of this and the fact that they also intermarried. John was 2 years older than Jacob and Catherines' son John.
