Harmon Richard is known as a Somerset County gunsmith from an 1852 tax record.
Chronology
1852: According to Kauffman's 1960 book "The Pennsylvania - Kentucky Rifle", Harmon Richard is identified as a gunsmith and single freeman in the 1852 tax roll of Somerset Township. In their 1983 booklet "Gunsmiths and Gunmakers of Bedford and Somerset Counties Pennsylvania 1770-1900" the Whiskers gave the name as Harrison Richard, but switched to the name Harmon Richard in their 1991 and 2017 books.
1860: I searched a legible copy of the manuscript 1860 census records of Somerset Township and did not a listing for Harmon or Herman Richard.
1870-1880: I did not find a Harmon or Herman Richard or Richardson in transcripts of the 1870 or 1880 censuses of Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
