Research status

Research status: CONFIRMED daughter of Nathan James Harsh and Louise Bell Martin Harsh, born 7 January 1894 at Castalian Springs, Sumner County, Tennessee; she died on 1 January 1982 at Abilene, Texas, as Nancy Timberman. Evidence: her birth record and her death certificate give the same birth date and name both parents, Nathan J. Harsh and Louise B. Martin S1652. Added to the family tree on 10 October 2026

Life in the order the records give it

Census1900
What else is weak: the birth record and death certificate were read from the index, not the images; the 1900 census gives her birth as April 1894, against 7 January on the two vital records. Any children are not named here.

Family parents, marriages, children, siblings

Marriage1919
🆕 An index of newspaper marriage notices has her wedding three times: Miss Nancy Mai Harsh, of Castalian Springs, Tennessee, and Albert N. Timberman, licence dated 31 December 1919, in the Wilkes-Barre papers of 1 and 2 January 1920 S1658. The notices themselves have not been read and no marriage register entry has been found, so the marriage is still entered as probable.

Open questions what is probable, weak or missing — confirm or correct it

Probable
Probable confirm or correct → Her husband. She was probably the wife of Albert N. Timberman of Wilkes-Barre, a son of James Harris Timberman Sr.. Evidence: the 1920 census lists Nancy Timberman, 25, born in Tennessee, as the wife of Albert M. Timberman there S1652; that would make her the “Mrs. A. M. Timberman” of her mother’s 1935 notices. What is weak or missing: the census was read from the index, not the image, and prints her husband’s initial as M, not N; no marriage record has been found. A Harsh–Timberman marriage record would settle it. Know more? Use “Add to this record”.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
