None that I have found.  I would have to believe that if there were we would know of them as we do Willie G.

Nothing seems to come up on any in the Harley archives from what I find.

Best I can do Jorge. :2vrolijk_21:

"in 1910 Bill Harley was married to a Milwaukee girl named Anna Caroline Jachthuber. Three children were born to them: William J. (1912), Ann (1913), and John E. (1915). For many years the family lived at 4906 West Washington Blvd. Several grandchildren and great grandchildren of William S. Harley still live in the Milwaukee area and some of them remain ardent motorcycle enthusiasts to this day."
