The Harness family is one prominently identified with Ross county from the early pioneer days until the present. Joseph and George Harness, brothers, were the founders of the family in Ross county, though the latter did not become a permanent resident here. He entered some sixteen hundred acres of land in the Scioto valley, in the southern part of Liberty township This land subsequently became the property of C. E. and Daniel R. Harness, brothers, upon which was established the well known stock farm of the lath Daniel R Harness. He devoted it to the breeding, rearing and training of thoroughbred horses, mostly of the road strains. Daniel Harness was the owner of the celebrated running mare, "Imp," and many others of almost as great prominence on the turf. "Uncle Daniel" died in the winter of 1901-2. Joseph Harness emigrated to this county in 1798 from Hardy county, Va. He bought at the first land sales sections nine, ten and eleven, on the High bank prairie, and occupied this property until his death. He had four children who succeeded to the homestead, and some of their descendants still occupy portions of it The only son of Joseph Harness was Edwin J., who died in early manhood, leaving no family. The daughters were Eliza, wife of James Vause; Mary, wife of George Moore, and Rebecca5 who married Charles F. Beal. Some of the daughters removed from the county, or possibly never came here, Mrs. Moore locating in Mason county, Va.
