I am John A. Frederick. My gt-gt-grandfather was William S. Harbert (1841-1919). He was born in Terre Haute, Vigo Co., Indiana.

MATILDA (SHINN) HARBERT

I am trying to identify where Matilda (Shinn) Harbert (b. 1805 Harrison County, [West] Virginia) died and complete the family history of Maria Harbert Reynolds, daughter of Matilda. Matilda married William Harbert in 1823. I can't find any evidence of Matilda's or Maria's death and very little about Maria's children.  John and Maria (Harbert) Reynold's son, Roy, was a banker in Vancouver, WA, died in CA and buried in Forest Grove, OR. I'm looking in WA and OR sources for any evidence of Roy and possibly about his parents. I would appreciate any information on these families.
