I've lost the source of this, but thought it might help - this was from one of my husband's genealogy-loving relatives, Manford Wright:
Catherine was the daughter of Adam Harnsberger, son of Stephen, son of John ( Hans ), and she married her first cousin Jacob Harnsberger, son of Conrad, son of Stephen, son of John ( Hans ). Catherine and Jacob were married in Rockingham County, Virginia, where their first two children were born. They removed to Clark County, Ohio, where seven more children were added to the family. In the late 1820's they moved to Rush County, Indiana, but remained there a comparative short period of time, then going to Clinton Cs ounty. In 1830 Catherine passed on and was buried on the "home place", as was the custom in those days. This property passed into other hands and eventually became a burying ground. It was at the time three miles south of the present city of Frankfort, but the town grew up to it, and then around it. It was called Old South Cemetary.

Catherine Harnsberger was a "real daughter" of the American Revolution. Both her father, Adam, and father in law Conrad, were soldiers in that war ( and later officers in the War of 1812); her mother's father Colonel William Nalle, was Adam's commanding officer in the Revolution. Her grandfather Stephen Harnsberger, furnished supplies to the Continental army as did her husbands grandfather Henry Miller, and his great-grand father Adam Miller.
