Now, for my GOOD news!!  My local library has a genealogy department and I found a link there for www.familysearch.org  I entered Thomas Harker and went through about 9 pages and found this:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NJ9C-143

This may very well be him.  Christening 06 April 1790 and lists Joseph Harker as his father but no mother.

Hi Sherlynn,

You've probably already discovered this. The Thomas Harker you found on FamilySearch was buried on May 21, 1790: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/find/id?id=L1NV-9L2

I've also been searching for information about Thomas Harker, who is my 3G grandfather. It's been maddening! So far I've yet to find a birth record, emigration/immigration records, a marriage record, or a burial record. On August 7, 1820, the federal census enumerator in Brookville, Indiana ticked the column indicating that he was 26-45 years old, which would mean Thomas was born between 1775 and 1794. I did locate two General Land Office records dated November, 1822 for two parcels of land he purchased in Bartholomew County when the county was opened for settlement.
