Pritchard, who has published several writings on the Harless Family, most of the families in the United States are descendants of Johan Philip and Anna Margaretha (Preiss) Harless. However, around 1812, there were three Harless brothers who came to this country: one settled in Chicago; another is believed to have settled in Tennessee; and the third one settled in the Nebraska Territory. \par \par http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=returnwithhonor &id=I49 Marriage 1 Anna Margaretha Price b: 21 Sep 1713 in Offenbach, Bayern, Germany •Married: 17 Feb 1738 in Lutheran Church, Offenbach, Landau, Rheinland Pfalz, Bavaria, Germany Children 1.
