NOTE - I do not know exactly who the niece, Virginia T. Means, was. If it was a niece on the Harley side of the family, then in order to have a different surname such as "Means, then the Harley parent would have had to be a female who married a Means. Josephus had only one sister, named Mary Harley but little is known about her.
