Correspondence with Terry Ulrich, San Jose, CA 95138 (1995).

The following information is from Terry Ulrich:
The family is thought to be from County Cork, Ireland.  William Harney immigrated to Boston, where he opened a jewelry shop.  His son, James Joseph Harney
eventually settled in California with his family.
James Thomas Harney and Catherine Ellen McKenna, were both born in Oakland, CA, and moved to San Jose after their marriage.  Their daughter, Ysabel, was
named for a mountain stream that rambled through the family property off Mount Hamilton in California.  Her name was later spelled Isabel.  She remained
single, and was served as a WAAC in World War II, then attended business college on the GI bill.  She retired from her job as a bookkeeper for the Boulder
Creek Water Company at age 72.  She was a member of American Legion Post No.64, of Santa Cruz (from her obituary, Jan 1979).
The Harney School in the San Antone Valley is successor of the tiny school on the ranch were these children lived.  William Scott, an IBM employee and
great-grandson of the original homesteader, now owns the family spread and calls it the W.J. Harney Ranch.  At it's peak, the ranch covered 640 acres.
