I see this post was made 3 years ago but maybe someone is still interested?
Harriett's maiden name was Harris. She married Robert Garrett in 1830. They are my 2x great grandparents. I have good information on them including certificates etc

Hi,
  So sorry we've just found your message, lost track of how many different sites we joined! 😬 That's fantastic! We're having a tough ol' time trying to find our bunch, as we've got only scrappy bits of info, but we traced back to Topsham, (& had to have a visit!).

Topsham museum has a good section of local family history. 

It might be worth getting in touch if you are still seeking information, but it looks like they may not be open anymore until March 2019.
