Information on Conrad Harness

Family legend also has it that Conrad Harness, his wife and infant daughter were killed by Indians in Welton’s Meadow on Loony’s Creek in Hardy County WVA, in 1757 while returning from a wedding they had attended. The infant daughter of Conrad’s brother, Leonard Harness, who was reportedly visiting the Conrad Harness family at the time, was also said to have been killed in that Indian attack, according to family legend.
