This Harsha line is supposed to have migrated from either Germany or Holland and settled in Lima, Ohio.They are Orthodox Jews.At some point there was intentional usage of the commonly misspelled surname Harshe.We have run accross a reference to a Quaker marriage and then information is hard to come by until Frank Harshe marries Rose Bannigan. There is some references that this Harsha line can be traced to the Bible (Ezra, Chap 2:verse 52.They are listed as temple servants).
