Harry Family Genealogy Forum
  
FYI, Mary Elisabeth Saylor, who married Jacob Harry/Herre; Elisabeth Saylor, who married John Harry/Herre; and Susanna Saylor, who married Martin Harry/Herre, Jr. all were daughters of Matthias Saylor and Magdalena Harry/Herre. The Saylors and the Harrys apparently were a close-knit family. Matthias's 1785 will reads in part "... to my Daughter Mary Elizabeth Harry Wife of Jacob Harry One Hundred Pounds Specie, and to my Daughter Susannah Harry Wife of Martin Harry One Hundred Pounds Specie, and to my Daughter Elizabeth Harry Wife of John Harry, One Hundred [Pounds] Specie, and to my beloved Wife Magdelena Harry I leave as follows ..." Matthias and Magdalena gave the name Maria as a first name to three of their daughters and as a middle name to another while also using the name Elisabeth for two daughters. They certainly weren't thinking about us poor genealogists.
