Yes, it is possible that that one of the grandparents of Jennie was a Harsha. There were Harshas in Argyle. But as far as I know the Harsha family of Washington Co., New York where Argyle is located is completely different from the Harsha family in Washington Co., Pennsylvania.

The only connection between the counties that I have found is that in 1785 the Associate Presbyterian Church in Argyle, not liking the terms of the proposed union between the various presbyteries in America decided to join with the western Pennsylvania Associated Presbyterian presbytery. In 1838 a John W. Harsha graduated from the Associated Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Washington Co., Pa. and returned to Argyle NY.

I will send you my notes on this.
