Hi Maureen,
I found some info on a Harmony Society from Germany, that landed at Baltimore
in July 1804. Not having seen the replies, not sure this is the same.
Puchased land in Butler Co. Pa, moved to Indiana State 1814, returned to
Economy in Beaver Co. 1824. It does not mention singing. If this is the
same Society, let me know, there is more info.

Members of the Harmony Society 25 Sept. 1810 & 12 Nov. 1811"
