Individual Details

1850 Census. Dist 7, Boone Co IN, Hh 1449

Indexed as "Hannan" in the 1860 Census and it is very difficult to read.

Elizabeth, age 36, b. IN
Taylor, age 13 [this seems to be the son James]
Mary, age 12

William, 4
Sarah Harmon, age 20, Domestic
I do not know who Sarah might be. William had no sister named Sarah; none of his older brothers had a daughter named Sarah of this age - most of their children were at least a decade younger.

William's nephew Isaiah Miller was serving in the Civil War - on 20 Jan 1862, he wrote a letter to his father. It was the day after the Battle at Camp Mill Springs. A cousin, William Perry Larimore, was killed in the battle. Isaiah states that his Uncle Will Harmon had arrived to take the dead of their company [Co. F, 10th Ind. Infantry Volunteers, raised at Zionsville] back home. He also mentions the death of Perry.

His Civil War Service was brief.
William A. Harmon of Boone Co IN enlisted on 7 Oct 1863, as a Private in Company G, IN 102nd Infanty Regiment, 10 Jul 1863, and was mustered out a week later, on 17 Jul 1863, at Indianapolis. This was a minute men regiment called up when word was received that a Confederate force of 6,000 cavalry had crossed the Ohio River and was moving or Corydon. The 102nd was organized in Boone County and numbered 623 men. It left Indianapolis the next day by rail, traveling to Vernon, where Company K was mounted and sent in pursuit of the enemy. The unit was moved to DuPont, thence to Osgood and on the 14th of July to Sunman's station. It returned to Indianapolis on July 17th and was mustered out.

The only possibility for William Harmon that I've found in the 1880 census, is a William Harmon living in Indianapolis, Marion Co, IN. He gave his age as 58 and was a boarder in the household of M.C. Thompson. Both men were auctioneers. William's place of birth was given as Indiana, but nothing for his parents.
