HARLESS, Patrick born c. 1811 who I believe married
DENNISTON, Catharine born c. 1819.

I am seeking information on the HARLESS and the DENNISTON families. "Denniston" may not be the correct spelling. I believe that Nancy Ann HARLESS born c. 1840-50 or Anna HARLESS born c.1840-50 (possibly the same person) is one of their children. I believe that Anna or Nancy Ann married Henry ZECK born c. 1830-50. Anna and Henry lived in Hetzlersville in Jackson Twp. They had nine children, one of whom was my grandfather, William Washington ZECK, born 1877.
