Harriet was the Mother of Estelle L. “Stella” Tracy. Solomon had 7 children with Clementine Granger and 7 children with Julia, Clementine’s sister. Solomon and Julia were my 3rd great grandparents so this makes Harriet my Half 2nd Great Great Aunt. Harriet was Judge Solomon Lewis Withey’s Half Sister. Judge Solomon was my 2nd great grandfather.
