Notes - It seems clear that Rena Victoria HARNISH had five children. One of them--Richard Moody HARNISH--seems to be illegitimate, since he is named HARNISH. One would think he might be the child of Firman Moody YOUNG, since Richard is named “Moody” and his mother apparently did marry a Firman Moody YOUNG. But the only Firman Moody YOUNG I know of was age 10 when Richard was born.
Firman Moody Young's obit names only his children by Violet COOLEN, and the obit for two of the other children list them as two of the four children if Tracey Smith YOUNG and Rena HARNISH. But two of those children are born five months after Rena Victoria marries Firman Moody Young (at age 11) according to the St. George's register.
I am sure that an explanation for all of this must exist, but I have no idea what it might be. [Bob H]
