Tliis book hail iN lx\^iniiin<^ in the Fall of 1881. I made a visit in September
of that year to several of my father's eonsins * in ortler to learn from them some-
thini,"- of the life and history of my i^reat-j:;Tand father Harlan. I knew little of ni\
ancestors at that time, but found there several old letters and records which
containeil much that 1 had wanted to know. It became my desire, then, to trace
my own line back to an immigrant ancestor, and, later, to set down in permanent
form all that could be learned concerning the family. That desire of so long ago
has culminated in the present volume.
Xo one, uidess he has attempted a similar task, can have an adetpiate con-
ception of the work thus involved. There were seventeen children born to (ieorge
and Michael llarlan. ()f Deborah, the third daughter of Cieorge, we know little
mure than that she married one Joshua Calvert ; further trace of the family ha^
been lo>t. Solomon, the lifth son of Michael, died unmarried. So it remained
to follow the subsequent history of fifteen families, and though some of the line-
are indeed inccjmplete, most of them will be found to be well developed.
In 1887, two hundred years after George and Michael had come to America,
the family assembled at Birmingham Park, near Philailelphia. There thev effected
a permanent organization which was named " The Association of the Descendants
of George and Michael Marian in the United States." It has held fourteen
reunions, some of the most imijortant of which have been at Richmond, lud., 1SS8 ;
West Chester, Pa., 1897; Alt. Pleasant, Iowa. 1899; Union City, lud., 1900. and
again at Richmond in nju. It has been the means whereby members of the family
have learned to know and to keep in touch with each other, and it has been of great
assistance in the i)rej)aration of the jjresent work.
The information herein contained has been gathered from many sources. Old
wills, marriage certificates, Friends' Meeting records, newspapers, and hundreds
of letter^ h.ave been read and reread in order to obtain from them some informa-
tion which would be of use. Often one name has been the means of bringing
together many families, and often one letter has opened a field requiring months
of work to fully explore.
\I PRRFACIl.
The coinpiliiiq' of this history has been to nic from tlic first a hibor of love
and of fascination and a wori-c that I could not lay aside. I have been aided in it .
by countless relatives and friends, and to all of them, though many have long since
passed away, my heartfelt gratitude must be expressed.
After a third of a century of almost continuous endeavor, I am handing this
work to my people for their approval. I do it with the earnest prayer that the
present and future generations shall strive hard to uphold the standards of
Christianity as set uj) and maintained by their forefathers.
Alpheus H. Harl.^n.

FA'PLANATIOXS.
Tlie personal history of each iiuliviikial is !^i\'en in connection with his appear-
ance as tlie head of a family. Historical matter is printed in larj^e type. The
arrangement is hv fjenerations, and l}y their numbers the children of one generation
may be found as j>arents in the next. In the later Lienerations this is not always true.
The generation to which each individual belongs is indicated by the small figure
attached to the name, counting Thomas, George and Michael Harlan of the third.
Abbreviations : b. for born ; d. for died ; m. for marrietl ; unm. for unmarried :
em. for emigrated ; bur. for buried ; dau. for daughter ; b. g. for burying ground :
Mo. for month ; Twp. for townshiji ; Co. for county.
Dates are given in the order of month, day and year, and the numerical system
is almost universally used, this l)eing most convenient, besides conforming to usage
of l-'riends.
'Idle Province of rennsyhania. on " the 7"' day of y*-' 10"' mo. 16S2." passed an
act " that V" Days of ^''■ Week and Y" Months of Y" Yeare shall be called as in
Scripture & not by Heathen names, . . . and beginning with Y" Day called Sunday
and Y" Month called March." This was followed 28 years later by an act providing
" that all Deeds, Conveyances, Mortgages. Hills, Charter-Parties, . . . wherein
the Names of the Months arc called First, Second, Third and Fourth, instead of
March, April, Mav, lune, and so of the rest, always accounting the Alonth called
March to be the tlrst .Ahjiith of the year ... to be as good and valid ... as if
the Months in such \\'ritlngs had been set down and expressed by their usual
names."'
In 1 75 1, the English Parliament decreed that the year should begin ujion the
first day of January, so .March thereafter was the third instead of the first month.
In this book, therefore, the early dates are given as they were written at the
time, and the reader will observe that in many instances, between the first day of
January and the twenty-fifth day of ^larch, two dates are given, thus: 1723-24.
The reason is clear: while the ecclesiastical year began on the twenty-fifth day of
March, the historical year began on the first day of January, and it is to be under-
stood that it is 1723 by the former and 1724 by the latter computation.

HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE HARLAN FAMILY.
JAMES HARLAND, Yeoman and member of the Episcopal Church, was b.
about the year 1625 in the " Bishoprick, nigh Durham, England," and is the
earliest paternal ancestor known to the family in America bearing the name
Harlan. He lived and d. an Englishman, and was bur. upon English soil, no one
to-day knows where. Tradition says that the name of his father was William.
That James Harland was married according to the usages of the Established
Churcli there is no doubt. That his children were baptized and recorded therein
is fully estal)lished by the fact that tlie earliest record we have of his son, George,
is that he was " Baptised at the Monastery of Monkwearmouth * in Oald Eng-
land."' \Ve have no record giving the name of the wife and mother. So far as
known, James Harland was the father of three sons:
2. Thomas, b. • — — ; d. ; m. Katherine Bullock and Alice Foster.
3. George, b. ; d. , 1714 ; m. Elizabeth Duck.
4. Michael, b. ; d. , 1729; m. Dinah Dixon.
2. Thomas Harland^ (James,- William^), Yeoman, Friend, b. " Nigh Dur-
ham, in Bishoprick, England," where he remained until early manhood, when with
his brotliers and others he crossed over into Ireland and located in the Parish of
Donnahlong, County Down. It is supposed that he remained there during life,
and that he was buried in the burying grounds at Lurgan Meeting House, County
Armagh. He m. 2, 7, 1680, by ceremony of Friends at Lurgan Meeting, held then
" at the house of Francis Robson," in the ]\arish of Sogo, County Armagh,
Katherine Bullock (Friend), b. , d. 3 Mo. 1690, County Down, a dau. of
George Bullock, of the Parish of Donnahlong. They were the parents of one son,
Ananias, and of four daughters, Rebecca, Patience, Christian and Katherine.
Thomas Harland m. second, 11, 8, 1702, Ailice ffoster, of " Lisnegarvy, at
Richard Boyes house, Ballinderry Meeting, County of Armagh." They were the
parents of two sons, James and Thomas, and of one dau., Abigail.
* Monkwearmouth Monastery was founded by Benedict Biscop in the year A. D. 672. It
is situated in a town of the same name in the east division of Chester, County Durham, and
one-half mile north of Sunderland. It receives its name from its location near the mouth of
the river Wear. Burned and plundered time and attain, only the tower and sfmie detached
parts of the church remain of the once celebrated monastery. In 1790 the parish registers,
with the exception of some of the late records, were destroyed by fire, and it is very probable
that information of untold value to us perished in the flames.
2 THE HARLAN FAMILY.
We fiiul the names of Geort^e ITarlaiul, Alplionsus Kirk, etc., anionj^ the signers
to Thomas Harland's first marriage certificate, but it seems that this brother did
not venture to cast his lot in the new world. So far as we can learn he remained
in Ireland; we find his descendants, some fifty years later, crossing into Penn-
sylvania, and settling in Chester County. The further line of Thomas Harland,
obtained too late to be inserted here, will be found given in the appendix.
3. George Harlan^ (James,- William ^), Yeoman, " Ye sone of James Har-
land of Monkwcarmouth, was L3aptised at the Monastery of Monkwearmouth in
Oald England, ye nth Day of First Month 1650." He was b. " Nigh Durham in
Bishoprick, England," and remained there until he reached manhood, when, in com-
pany with his brother and others, he crossed into Ireland and located in the County
of Down. While residing there he m. by ceremony of Friends, 9, 17, 1678, Eliza-
beth Duck, George Harlan * brought his family to America in 1687, ^"d the nine
years intervening were without doubt spent in the above-named parish and county,
and there, too, in all probability, his first four children were born. He d. in " Fifth
Month " (July), 1714, and was buried beside his " dcare wife in the new burying
grounds on Alphonsus Kirk's land," which was afterwards, and is yet. Center
Meeting Burying Grounds. George and Elizabeth were the parents of nine
children :
5. Ezekiel, b. 6, 16, 1679; d. 4, 15, 1731 ; m. Mary Bezer and Ruth Buffington.
6. Hannah, b. 2, 4, 1681 ; d. ; m. Samuel HoUingsworth.
7. Moses, b. 12, 20, 1683 ; d. 1747 ; m. Margaret Ray.
8. Aaron, b. 10, 24, 1685 ; d. 9 Mo. 1732 ; m. Sarah Heald.
9. Rebecca, b. 8, 17, 1688; d. 8, 17, 1775; m. William Webb.
10. Deborah, b. 8, 28, 1C90; d. ; m. Joshua Calvert.
11. James, b. 8, 19, 1692; d. ; m. Elizabeth .
12. Elizabeth, b. 8, 9, 1694; d. ; m. Joseph Robinson.
13. Joshua, b. II, 15, 1696; d. 5 Mo. 1744; m. Mary Ileald.
t George Harland, of Parish of Donahlong, Co. Down, Ireland, and Elizabeth Duck, of
Lurgan, Parish of Siiankill, Co. Armagh, were married " at the house of Marke Wright in
ye Parish of Shankill," 9 Mo. 17, 1678.

GEORGE HARLAN. 3
No certificate of the membership of George HarLiiul with Friends is upon
record, but his marriage certificate shows us that at that time he was a member, and
as early as " Tenth Month" (December), of 1687, he was placed upon committees
of responsibility in Friends' Affairs in his new neighborhood. At the time of his
residence in Ireland, William Penn was urging Friends of England to become
settlers upon his lands, cautioning them, however, against " leaving their own
country out of idle curiosity or of a rambling disposition." I'ut names signed above
we find later in the new world, and, as we have seen, George was buried upon
"Alplionsus Kirk's land." So they were not without friends when they made their
settlement near the Delaware.
In the early months of the year 1687, in company with his wife and four
children, and his brother Michael, then unmarried, he took ship at Belfast for
America. They had bought lands before coming * which were within that part of
the Province of Pennsylvania now embraced in the County of New Castle.
Ascending the river Delaware they landed at the town of New Castle (now in
Delaware State), and settled near the present town of Centreville. Plere the elder
brother remained for some years, and about 1698/99, having purchased higher up
tlie Brandywine Creek, he moved his family and settled in what is now f Penns-
bury Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

♦ From the old warrants granted " within the County of New Castle, on Delaware," we
learn that "George Harland " and "James & Thomas Harlin" purchased lands there in the
summer of i68fi, and that "James Harland" did likewise in January of 1701.
t It was then in Kennett, but later the township was subdivided.

♦
\\'hile living in Kennet f Township (now Pennsbury), George Harlan had for
neigh].)ors a settlement of Indians who lived in the " Great Bend " of the Brandy-
wine. After they had gone he obtained, in l/Oi, a warrant for 200 acres of land in
the bend, which was granted to him " in regard for the great trouble and charge
he had borne in fencing and maintaining the same for said Indians while living
thereon."
We find his name amon<i the signers of the return for a road laid out in the
winter of 1704-5. This road ran " from the fork of the Brandywine, in Alice
Vestal's land " to a white oak " standing by y^ road from George Harlands to
Neman's Creek Mill."
* The name is variously spelled Dixon, Dixson, Dickson, etc. Judging from the manner
in which the testator disposed of his estate, leads one to conclude that he was a relative of the
family. We have no evidence that William Dixon and Ann Gregg had a daughter Elizabeth,
or that Din:di Dixon, the wife of ^.lichael Harlan, No. 4, and her brother, William, had a
sister, Elizabeth. It is very probable, therefore, that this "Elizabeth Dickson" was the
mother cjf Dinah Harlan, and perhaps a widow in 1604, 'in'l residing with her daughter.
William Dixon's land warrant bounds his property upon the east by lands of Thomas Child.
The latter is probably the plantation mentioned in the above will.
t The spelling of the name will be found to vary in this volume. It is generally
spelled with two " t's," but the original spelling on the old court records was with one " t," and
it is spelled in England in the same way, both on early and modern maps. — Euthey and Cope's
History of Chester County, Pennsylvania.
GEORGE HARLAN. 5
George Harlan first bcloiii^ed to Newark Moctint;, but after his removal up the
Brandywine and westward, he was too remote from this meetiny for punctual
attendance, especially in the winter, and at a request of himself and others, a meet-
ing " beyond Brandywine " was established. From the Monthly Meeting records
of Center Meeting, as the meeting was called, we read: "This meeting appoints
George Harlan, Thomas Hollingsworth, Alphonsus Kirk, & Samuel Groves, to
take y" oversight of y" building of y" Centre ^ileeting House requesting y"' with all
convenient speed to let out y" work to some workmen in order y' it may more
speedly done & return an acctt to y" next meeting how they proceed." The deed for
the land had been conveyed by Ali)honsus Kirk, while yet a member of Newark,
to John Craig, Samuel Groves and John Richardson. The consideration was
il2, 5s.
George Harlan soon became one of the foremost citizens of the colony. He
had been one of the provincial governors of the " three lower counties," now the
state of Delaware, in 1695, and was a member of the Colonial Assembly in 1712.
His colleagues in the latter were Caleb Pusey, David Lloyd, William Davis, John
Baker, Nathaniel Newlin, Nicholas Fairlamb, John Wood, Isaac Taylor and John
Maris.
Upon the first day of March, 1713, he deeded 203 acres to his son-in-law,
William Webb, for a consideration of 30 pounds. On the ninth day of the same
month, " in consideration of the Natural Affection & fatherly love which he hath "
and also " for divers other good causes and valuable considerations," he deeded
200 acres each to his sons James and Joshua.
George Harlan died in " Fifth Month " (July), 1714. The date of the death
of his wife is unknown, but in his will he requests that he be buried beside his
" deare wife in the new burying grounds."

The B.mlv Family. — Joel Baily is supposed to have come from Wiltshire, England.
One among the early purchasers of land in the Province of Pennsylvania was a Daniel Baily,
who resided in Westbrook, in the parish of Bromham, Wiltshire. He was by trade and occu-
pation a weaver, and in 1681 purchased a warrant for 125 acres of land in the Colony of
William Penn, which was subsequently located in Birmingliam Township, Chester County.
He never came to America, but one Joel Baily, who was probably a near relative of his,
appears to have been concerned in tiie sale of this land in 1713 to one William Radlcy. Joel
Baily and Ann Siiort were married in Chester County, and resided on laiuls which were partly
in Middletown and partly in Aston (now in Delaware County). In 1704/5 he removed to

Kennet Twp., and afterwards into London Grove. She m. 12, 17, 1724/5, in
Friends' Meeting at London Grove Meeting Llouse, Richard Flower (Friend,

son of Richard and Mary Flower, of Leicestershire, England. Abigail, " his widow
survived him many years, and died very suddenly witliout sickness, and was buried

afterwards willed to her by her father, the clause reading: " I Give & Bequeath to
my son-in-law, Richard Flower & his Heirs forever that part of said Tract upon
y* Branch of Elk River that he Dwelleth upon."
It is quite probable that Richard and Abigail settled first in Kennet Twp. The
records of Kennet Meeting, " informs " that Abigail Llarlan took certificate to
New Garden, 6, 30, 1729. They had issue:

be found the following: "January 12 Anno D. 1753: Thomas Buffington and

she m. at that old church by Episcopal ceremony (having first procured a license),
her second husband, Thomas Buffington.
The Carter Fa.mily. — Edwin Carter, of Aston, Parish of Bampton, Oxfordshire, Eng-
land, came to the Province of Pennsylvania in i68j, and settled in Aston Township, Chester
County. His wife's name was Margaret. They had an only son, Robert, who m. Lydia

The will of Thomas Harlan was proven Feb. 27, 1745/6. An inventory of his estate,
appraised Dec. 19, 1755, by James Few and Richard Flower, values his belongings at
£292, i6» 11^.
17. Stephen Harlan* (Michael,* James ^), yeoman, Friend, b. 2, 16, 1697,
in New Castle Co., (now in) State of Delaware; d. about 2 Mo., 1732, in Newlin

Hannah after her marriage carried a certificate of membership from Chester
Monthly Meeting to Bradford Monthly Meeting dated 3 Mo., 1725, which points
to the fact that she was at one time a resident of that part of Chester, now Dela-
ware Co., and the home at one time of the Carter family, before their removal into
Marlborough Twp.
Stephen Harlan, in 1724, purchased a farm of 320 acres lying in Bradford and
Newlin Twps., of which 300 acres was in the former. The price was one pound
per acre. A further consideration was a " Quit Rent " of one English shilling
per hundred acres, or the value thereof " in the Coyne current here."
Letters of administration were granted to his widow about April 8, 1733, he
having d. intestate. His estate of 290 acres, the houses, improvements and personal
property amounted to £402 s. 2. Among the personal property were two servants
who were to be released at the expiration of their time. In 1741 a certificate was
granted for Hannah and her children to Philadelphia ]\Ionthly IMeeting. The
records of this meeting say : " Hannah Harlan & children from Bradford Monthly
Meeting Chester County, Pennsylvania, by certificate dated 6 Mo. 20, 1741. Her
daughter Hannah is particularly mentioned as free from marriage engagements."
There is no record to be found showing when and where Hannah Harlan d.
She was present in Kennet Meeting (1749) at the marriage of her dau. Hannah,
but there is nothing after that date to be found concerning her.

FOURTH GENERATION. 25
Michael Harlan, subseciucnt to his marria.qc, removed to and settled in I.ondon
Grove Twp. on a farm, u])on a part of which he erected a stone flouring- mill. He
(1. there in 1757, and was buried at Lonilon Grove I\Teetin,cf House. Parts of the
old stone dwcllinj^ and the stone mill, situated between the borrou^hs of Chatham
and West Grove are yet standing", as also the mill-race, conveyint,^ the water to the
mill, were built and constructed by him now more than 140 years ago. There is
no record found that would give the date and place of death of the wife, but the
supposition is that she too d. there, and was bur. at London Grove Meeting House.
The records of "Old" Kennet Meeting informs that Michael Harlan, made
an acknowledgment for marrying out of unity with Friends, to one who was also
a member, but the records seem silent as to what the result was. Chester Monthly
Meeting- records of 4, 26, 1725, informs that: Hannah Maris, dau. of John and
Susanna Maris, was disowned for "marrying- out," to Michael Harlan.
As the births of their children were not recorded in meeting the presumption
is that they were not again in membership with Friends.
Michael Harlan dying intestate, his brother David Harlan was made his
administrator, 11, 30, 1757.
The Maris Family. — George and Alice Maris came from Worcestershire, England, and
settled in that portion of Chester County, now in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, in 1683.
His certificate from Friends' Meeting bore date of 3 Mo., 16S3, and was from " Att Hadeswell
In y« Pish of Inksborroujih and County of Worcester." They became members of Darby
Meeting. Issue: (i) Alice, b. 8, 17, 1660; m. Jacob Simcox, "of Ridley," 11, 15, 1684. (ii)

19. Solomon Harlan^ (Michael,^ James =*), b. 10, 7, 1701 ; d. 2 Mo., 1732;
unm. Solomon Harlan was probably b. in the Province of Pennsylvania, in that
part which is now Delaware. He was a well-to-do farmer. In his will he
bequeaths to his brother James his farm of 230 acres. He made his mark at the
signature, and as he was then only 30 years of age, it is probable that he was
poorly educated in the art of writing. We only know that Dinah Harlan, his
mother, was alive at the time of writing, as he wills that his brother, James, keep
his mother her lifetime.
" An Inventory of the Goods & Chatties of Solomon Harlan late of London Grove,
Deceased. Filed i8th of 9th month 1732," appraised by John Strodd [Strode] and Jer. Starr,
values the total estate at £339.

England. James Harlan, who was h. and rcareti in Kennet, was the first of his
father's family b. in Pennsylvania. At the time of liis marriage he was a member
of Kennet Meeting, and was probably residing in that township, although his
father and family were mostly residing in London Grove. His father in his will
mentions him thus : " Item. I Give &- licqucalh to my son James Harlan & his
Heirs forever that Tract of Land ui)on Octoraro Creek being four hundred acres
in all " ; but it does not appear that he was residing upon it at the time of his mar-
riage. He settled upon it and d. there. His wife having d. some years prior to
him, was bur., it is said, at Kennet Burial Grounds. Issue:

Solomon 10 shillings. And: " Item. I Give & Bequeath unto my sister Susanna
all the remainder of my personal Estate, to be paid to her within one year after my
decease." His personal estate was apj-)raised by Richard Flower (No. yy), and
David Harlan (No. 88), October 16, 1769, at £25 s. 18. p. 14. His landed interests
as mentioned in his will was disposed of as found in the records of his brother

Board the Brig ' Nancy,' Amos Jones Master, on his passage from Saint Eustalia, Bound to

Minutes of it from his own mouth in order to frame a Will by, which he showed to the said
Benjamin Harlan, and read them to him, who approved of them and desired that they might
be put in form for they were his Will. Minutes are now Produced by him and hereto annexed.
He believes and is sure they are the very same he took at sea at the desire of the said Benja-
min Harlan, and the reason why this affirmant did not draw the said Benjamin Harlan's Will
in form immediatly, was that he expected he was getting better of his disorder, but that he
dyed the third day after this affirmant received his Instructions, and further this affirmant venly
believes that the said Benjamin Harlan at the time he ordered the Minutes to be taken to Draw
his Will by he was of sound mind & memory and for two days after to the best of his knowl-

Nathan llreede Harlan, son of James Harlan (No. 199), telling of his Uncle
Joshua's death, as he had heard it from his father, said : " It was during the
Revolutionary War. The officers sought to conscript him, but being a Quaker, he
was oi)posed to war. He was hiding out not far from home. A sister's daughter,
I think it was, took his dinner to him, and it was supposed that the man who shot
him saw where she went. That afternoon father was c)t work in the field and
heard a gun go off near where his brother was hiding, and immediately went to
him and found him shot through the thigh and bleeding rapidly. As soon as Uncle
saw him he said: ' Jeemes, I am powerful dry.' Having no vessel, he ran to a
branch, tilled bis wool caj) with water, took it to him and tlien ran to the house for
help. 'Hiey placed him upon a sheet, ami started to the house, but he died before
they could reach it."

From the papers of William Harlan (No. 833), a grandson of the above
George Harlan : " I once saw amongst the papers of Stephen Harlan [No. 49] an
account of George Harlan being baptized at Mount Yarmouth, in Old hjigland,
date not recalled; from there he and his wife Deborah moved into Ireland; Irom
there to .America. The account gave the name ... of James, who . . . was my
grandfather. [He was his great grandfather.] My connections in my grand-
mother's line were of Welsh descent. I saw . . . my father's grandmother. She
was very old and I think blind. She lived on Licking Creek, Washington Co., Md.
My father's mother was Ann Hunt. My mother's father was William Porterfield,
born in the County of Donegal, Ireland. Her mother's name was Martha Alex-
ander, born in Ireland, but came to America with her parents when but three years
old. William I'orterfield had seven sons and two daughters : Charles, Jonah, John,
William, Alexander, Mathew, George, Rachel, and Mary, my mother. Charles
was killed by the Indians on Opequan Creek, now in P.erkeley Co., W. Va., when
my mother was a child. Jonah settled upon New River in Virginia. John moved to
Carolina. The others all remained in i'erkeley Co., Va. My grandfather died in
his 74th year. William lived to be an old man, and died since I left Virginia.
George died last year [1842] in the 87th year of his age."

bershi]) with bViends. For so doing he m;ule an acknowledgment to Kennet
Monthly Meeting, 6, 5, 1749, and thus retained his membership. The maiden
name of his wife is unknown, but from the records of " Old " Kennet Meeting it
is reasoned that her death occurred between the years 1750 and 1753. Her burial
was at " Old " Kennet. Issue :

FIFTH CFNERATION. 41
In 1762, James flarlaii, then residini^- in I-'rcdcrick Co., Va., returned tc
Clicster Co., and on Jidy i, 1762, m. at Moly Trinity (Old Swedes) Church, Wil-
nn"nL;lon, l^el., Dinah Harlan (Davis) (Xo. 70), a dan. of- Gcors^e Harlan and
Mary I'.aily (.Stewart), and a widow of i\(jl)crt Havis, to whom she was m. in 3 Mo.,
1740. 'I'licy returneil to ]''rcdcricd< Co., \a., and later moved to h'astern Ken-
tucky, wliere l\ol)ert d. His wdl speaks of childien, not named. James and Dinah
had no issue.
'I'here was an incident in the life of James Harlan that is worthy of record.
It was his violation of the h'riends' disciiiline hv the erection of i^rave stones at the
,L;rave of his first wife. \o stones were allowed; each of these old h. l;. was
]4atted, and the ])l;it was carefully ])reservetl hy the clerk of the meeting-. It is
presumed that, contemplatins.^- his removal to Frederick Co., Va., he placed the
stones so that the grave would not be lost to him. The matter came up at Kennet
Monthly fleeting, 3, i, 1760, when "James Harlan requests a certificate to Hope-
well Monthly Meeting, and William Lewis and William Harvey are appointed a
committee to enquire," etc. Kennet Monthly Meeting, 4, 17, 1760: " The Friends
report there is some obstructions against James Harlan's certificate, so is left under
their care till the next meeting." The matter was continued from meeting to meet-
ing till 7, 14, 1760, "The committee report that they removed the grave stones."
Kennet Monthly ^Meeting, 1,15, 1761 : " James Harlan being here at this time and
appearing dissatisfied with Friends for removing y" grave stones he sett up at his
wifes grave tho' advised to the contrary which was the obstruction to his certifi-
cate being allowed and his charging and blaming Friends therefore we can have
no further unity with him initil by giving heed to y" dictates of truth in his own
heart he satisfies Friends for his disorders which is our desire that he may." This
he refused to do, and at the same meeting was disowned. Kennet IMonthly Meet-
ing: "James Harlan declares by letter his intention to take an appeal to the
Quarterly IMeeting." But there is no account of it, and it is presumed that he let the
matter drop.
To-dav, in the b. g. of " Old " Kennet Meeting House, there are a number of
neat marble grave stones standing as silent witnesses of the cause for which James
Harlan contended.

(now in Mercer) Co., Ky., some years after the close of the Revolutionary War.
In 1744 his parents obtained a certificate to Hopewell Monthly Meeting, and it is
])robable that Jacob Harlan accomixinied them. We have no account of his wife;
it is jirobable that she was bur. at Tuscararo JNIeeting House, Frederick Co., Va.,

The Me.ndk.niiall Family. — This family has, in all probability been called upun oftener
by the Harlan Family for husbands and wives than any other family in America. The com-
piler feels quite sure that the index of this book will, next to the Harlan' name, show a greater
number of the name of Mendenhall than tliat of any other of the many hundreds that the
Harlan iianit- has intermarried with since its arrival in this Country.

Solomon Harlan, in 1772, was disowned by Friends at New (larden Meeting,
he havini^ fallen a victim to the habit so common in those days, that of " drinkini;" to
excess."
New Garden IMonlhly Meeting, 6, 3, 1786: " Mary Harlan wife of Solomon
asked for a certificate to Nottingham [Monthly Meeting] for herself and children,
Joseph, John, David, Ann, George, and Lewis."
Nottingham Monthly Meeting, 7, 29, 1786: " Mary Harlan produced a cer-
tificate from New Garden Monthly INTeeting for herself and six children, Joseph,
John, David, Ann, George, & Lewis Llarlan. This certificate was dulv received."
J'"rom these records it appears that Solomon and Mary, with their family,
removed into Cecil Co., Md., about the year 1786. Ihey remaiiieil there during life.
James Harlan, in his will, says: " I Give S: Devise to my son Solomon Harlan,
all my plantation I now live on Containing Two hundred & Ten acres more or less,

70 THE HARLAN UAMII.Y.
" A ccilificalo bcint;- prcparctl for I'.iioch Harlan it is ajiprovcd and siL;iK-(l l)y
the clerk and divers others."
When iMiocli and Edith em. to North Carolina they settled in Kandoliih Co.
Enoch Harlan rented a saw mill and was operatint;- it when taken sick. He was
both a cooper and a wagonmaker, and a good scholar for that ilay ; was (jnite an
astronomer, that is, he knew as much as was known at that lime. His death was
due to typhus fever, and he d. in the 49th year of his aL;e.
In the year i8o<j Edith Harlan and her children had established themselves in
the Northwest territory, in what is now Clinton Co., Ohio. Her sister, I'^lizabeth
Harvey (she, too, a widow) and her children were also living in the same neigh-
borhood. They had left behintl them the graves of their husbands and many
near and dear kindred with whom they had parted forever, ami realized that it
was true when the last sad farewells were spoken. A reference to the family
record of Nathaniel and Ann Carter will aid in determining who a number of
them were, and the letters now following will allow us of this day and age to see
and know and feel that grief which was caused by these separations. From the
tone of Solomon Harlan's letters the lands belonging to the father's estate hail not
been sold at the time Edith and her children left there, and it seems that .Solomon
and. David had returned to that " tar off country " i)erhaps to dispose of them and
settle up all outstanding mailers.
Ijcfore the mother came to Ohio different members of her family had been
out to Kentucky and the territory northwest of the ( )hio River on prospecting tours.
William and Jonathan had riiklen as far west :is the great shed sei)arating the
Miami rivers, where they spent sometime with (ieorge Harlan ( .\'o. 672) and his
wife Esther, and a part of their family. They had known each other in North
Carolina, the latter having gone from that state to Fayette Co., Pa., and from there
to Ohio, settling in then Hamilton, now in Warren Co. From there they turned
back, and William at least returned to his home in North Carolina.

been other letters passed that were not jM^eserved, for Williaiu that same year took
his " four horse team" and went back to North Carolina and brotight his mother,
his brothers, John an<l F.noch, and his sisters, Rebecca and Hannah, to Mason Co.,
Ky., and then with his faiuily into Ohio, stopping for the winter in what is now
Highland Co., and the next spring bringing them and his family into what is now
Clinton Co., where they settled and inade a permanent home. They were located
there when the following letter was received :

" Dear Sister Edith
" I am now about to write to thee although I do not know where to direct my letter for
I have not heard where thou art settled. Sister Elizabeth * wrote a letter to me informing me
that thee overtook them in the wilderness. She said your hearts were so full that neither
spoke for sometime. Thee may be assured that I sympathise with thee when I read the letters.
I may say to thee that I have had some sorrowful liours in my life and thy going away was a
renewal of them. When I take a view of the distance that is between us wilh the high
mountains and large rivers and perhaps both of us in the body thy face comes fresh in my
view and it seems almost too much for me. Hannah f often says, ' where is Kditb Harlan this
cold night.' Write to me the first opportunity and let me know whether thee lives niub thy

cominy obtained a warrant, Sept. 3, 1705, to take iij) 500 acres, one moiety of 1000 acres
originally purchased from ^Villianl Penn by Richard Hands of Swarford, in the County of
Oxon, England. On u (Jan.) 28, 1705, he olHained another warrant for 484 acres, the
remainder, deducting liberty land near the city of Philadelphia. By virtue of the first warrant
he took 384 acres on the West Branch of the Brandy wine, just South of the present borrough
of Coatesville, and the following year 600 acres were surveyed for him, including the present
site of Unionville. He afterwards obtained several hun<lred acres extending from the last
tract to the north-east corner of East Marlborough, and received his patent Nov. 25, 1717,
for 1100 acres in this township. He was an active citizen; a Justice of the Peace, and of the
Common Pleas for several years. His wife Rachel, who was living in 173(1, was perhaps the

Ireland in 17J.3, and sottkd in Sad^llury Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa.
"Till' lirollicr Andrew was a man of L;reat i)iety, and of indoniitalile conrago, and energy
of cliaracler, and also in possession of consideral)le means, lie purcliased large tracts of land,
lying on both sides of the Octoraro [Creek], and shortly after the arrival built the first mill in
the southwest, near Peningtonsvilie, in Chester county; the old remains of which are yet
visablc [1872].
" Although his residence was on the Chester county side, his improvements extended
into both counties. He erected another mill on the west side of the creek, and other substantial
buildings, some of which are yet standing [1872].
"He was chiefly instrumental in establishing the Friends' Meeting House, at 'Old'
Sadsbury in 172.1. and his descendants sat at the head of that meeting for upwards of one
lunidred years.*
He had children: (r) James, b. 1716; d. iSio; m. Ann .Starr about 1740. (2I David, m.

"John Moore, one of the three brothers, remained unmarried, and left !iis property by
Will to his brother Thomas. The will was written in 1728. He was one of the early pioneers
in the settlement of the eastern section of Lancaster county. He came from Ireland prior to
the coming of his brother .Andrew. He built tlie first ^ihrist mill, on the Brandywine Creek,

to abandon the place, as the entire family of one of their nearest neighbors had
been killed. They removed to near Danville, where they lived the remainder of

Mrs. Celia \\'ebster (No. 3030), whose mother was Celia P)Onham, a first
cousin to George Harlan (No. 220), in a letter to the compiler in 1891, saitl in
speaking of him: " Mother said that uncle Harlan was a splendid swimmer. She
used to tell about him and another man being pursued bv the Indians at one time.
They were not far from a river, and the Indians were fast gaining upon them, so
fast indeed that he told his companion that the only chance for their lives would
be to swim the river. His companion could not swim, and begged him to save him
but he could not and save his own life too. So when they reached the water he
sprang in and dived, the Indians all the time shooting at him when he would come to
the surface. He would remain under the water as long as he could, and the Indians
shooting in the direction he dived. He at last reached the land in safety, but his
companion was killed."

JM-om the Ira.^nients of a j\)urnal keiH by him thnm-h the L;realer jarl of the
last ([uarter of a century of his life, an.l from " what motlier has told u>," two thm-s
of importance have been -leaned. The tirst is. that he w;is entirely \\ ilhout hearhig-
in the last years of his life, and th.al all communication with him was In- writniL;-
and makinsi' si,<;ns. That he had not ;dways been so is ai)i.aient from the fact that
a portion of his life was si)ent as a soldier in the .\merican Army in tlie War tor
Independence, as will api-ear later on in this memoir, lie iirall his wntni-s, so far
found, -ave no exi)lanation of it. The .second is, that while he had been at one

information as to who site was. where she was b.. where she d., or where she was
bur. In all his writin-s tliere is nothing;- concernin.^' her. She w;is deceased prior
to iSjC), ;md li:id lieen for matiy years. She h:id borne him at least two chddren :
a son and a dau. The fcjrmer h;i<l (b in childhood, the latter, who while then livins'
was somewhere beyon.l his linancial ability to -o to her. notwithstandin,^- his
uftimes repeate<l desire so to do. This desire extends throu-h all the pa-es of
this now yellow old jotirnal, and yet he never speaks of her as m. or unm. His
relations on iioth sides oi his family were numerous and were scattered from
X'ir^inia. throu-h Ohio. IndiaiKi. Illinois. Missouri, Kentucky. Tennessee and
Alabama.
Reason Rawlin-s Harlan was by tra-lc a harness and saddle maker, and in the
last 25 years of his life was itinerate in his ch;iracter and habits, th.al is, he spent his
days .n-oint;- from home to home anion- his kinspeople, workin- when it jileased
him to <lo >o, and tlience on to another, as he felt the desire. He was industrious
and ener-etic, an<l was the best contented when diligently employed or when
readin- some ,L;ood bo^.k. He was for his day and time and opportunities a well
educated man: the wrilin-s in his journal bearin- out this assertion. A -reat
reader, he spent many hours re;idinL;- and cnjoyin- the writers of bisiory and
reli-ious works. AiKlwhile by birlh-ri-ht a member of the Society of ITiends, his
old a-e found him a member of the .Methodist F4)iscopa1 Churcli. .\nd :i-ain,

liiniscif, and this and !iy his having;' iho failh of his convidions quite frccjucnily
made his wrlcome cold and his slay sliort hv his remarks iijiun that siil)ject.
At some time and place in his life he liad heen made a Master Mason, hut he
oidy refers to it in one or two ])laces in his writings. In one instance he mentions
that wliile travelling through the city of Baltimore, Md., the hrethrcn, unsolicited
on his i)art, made him a very substantial donation in money, which gave him great
hap])incss and caused him to record some very pleasant remarks aliout them in
tliis old journal.
]\eas()n I\. Harlan was a Rawlings u])on his niotlier's side. He \vas a great
grandson of William Ixawlings, one of four brothers, William, Aaron, John anti
Jehosophat, who came from luigland ]Mior to I.(jrd I'altimore, and settled in
Maryland, not far from where Anna])olis now stands. The name of his grand-
father is not certainly known — it was probably K'eason Kawlings, for whom
Reason, the younger, was named.
In 1826, Reason R. Harlan was visiting at the home of .Sarah Harlan, the
widow of James Harlan (\o. -'16), in I^>oyle Co., Ky. While there he was induced
to write an account of the early history of the Harlan family. The following was
left at the " old homesteatl ", and a cop\- sent to the comjjiler. " At that time there
being a great persecution of the pjcople called Quakers, and the family being of
that denomination they were in great danger. I'our brothers concluded to come
to Pennsylvania, ;uid lelt all their property in ^'armouth and took ship at Liverpool,
bound for ^Vmerica. The eldest two had families; the others were single. They
were as follows: (ieorge, .Michael, Henry, and James."
" Soon after they had put to sea a storm came on which wrecked the vessel so
luuch indeed, that they were obliged to jjut back to land, and being nearest to
Ireland, landed there. James, the youngest, was so terrified that he would not
enter again, but stayed in Ireland. The other three came to America and settled
in Pennsylvania on the Delaware River."
" .M ichacl's family mostly went to New York. I low many sons he had I do not
know. Henry died childless. We are all of George's branch, who had six sons.
. . . The l.ames of Salt River, Kentucky, is of Cieorge's family. The two i\letho-
dist i)reachers, John and llarton, of I'.arrcn Co., | Ky.] are of John's family.
I That is, John, the grandson of (leorge, the eUler.] . . . The Harlans of Ohio
are of Yarmouth George's family."
The above is not all accurate, but the writings of Reason R. Harlan have on
the whole been a great aid in the compilation of this history.

charges ai^ainst him were: "8. 4, 1757, Samuel Harlan comjilained of for accom-
panyini^ a woman, who was a member, in her marriage by a priest. Also nei^lecting
meetin<^s for worship." His first wife was complained of by Kennet Monthly
Meeting:, i i, 28, 1778, for her marria,g-e by a priest, to one not a member, ;md was
disowned by that meetin<r, I, 14, 1779.
" Kennet Monthly Meeting-. 12, 25, 1780: Samuel Harlan refjuests to be
received into meniliershii)." .\nd at the same meeting, " Or])ha Harlan, formerly
disowned, offers her acknowledgment, which is accepted." I'.oth were on that day
readmitted to membership at Kennet Alonthly IMeeting.
From the records of Kennet Monthly Meeting:
"2, 13, 1783: Samuel Harlan aijjjointed on Committee in suffering cases,
from warlike measm-es. ri, 17, 1796: Samuel Harlan ai^pointed to visit persons
within the limits of Kennel monthly lueeting, who were disowned, and since then
not members. 3, 16, 1797 : Appointed an overseer in the place of Robert Lam-
born. • I, 6, 1807: A])iiointed to have the oversight of funerals. 3, 3, 1812:
Rctjuests to be released from the care of funerals. 2, 2, 1813: Samuel Harlan
reports having visited twenty families, who stood disowned, or never had mem-
bership.
"2, 14, 1817: Dur Ijeloved friend, Samuel Harlan, mentioned in this meeting
that he stood resigned to ])erform a religious visit to some or all, the meetmgs of
Friends, in Xorth Carolina, and a few Friends under our name in South Carolina,
and some meetings on his return from thence, which was left under consideration.

from whom it descended to his grandson, John Smith, son of Daniel Smith, Jr. The deed is
still in existence, well preserved, and in the possession of George Martin, of Marshalton. It
is too lengthy to insert a copy of it here in full, there having been greater exactness in the
description of land in the early days than at present, but the following is a part:
" This Indenture tripartrite made this third day of June in the fourth year of the Reign
of Our Sovereign Lord George of Great Britian France & Ireland, King, the Defender of the

former commissioners of William Penn, Esq., late proprietor of s" province by a certain grant
or patent under the hands & seal of the said province bearing date on or about the 8th day of
December .-\no Dom 1690 for the consideration therein named did grant and convey unto Daniel
Smith formerly of Marlborough in the county of Wiltshire, a certain tract or parcel of land
situate lying and being in the said county of Chester beginning at a black oak being a corner
of Thomas Langharns land, thence east northeast by the same land four hundred poles to a

the town of Chester, and English silver shilling or value thereof in coyn currency for each one

"John r.aird, horn in Scotland about the year 1730, was an officer in the

married Catherine McLean, or McClean, in Philadelphia, and lost his life at
' Grant's ]'"ort,' near the now city of Pittsburg, Pa., after the defeat of General
I'raddock. His widow, who is supposed to have had relatives in that neighbor-
hood, made her home near Kennet Square, Chester Co., Pa., and it is believed sup-
])0rtcd herself by teaching, while her son grew up and studied medicine." *
" Absalom Baird was commissioned Surgeon, March 20, 1782, in Colonel
jeduthan Baldwin's Regiment of Artificers of Pennsylvania. This corps as it was
called at first, was raised by the directions of General Washington, in the summer
of 1777. Benjamin Flower, formerly Commissary of Military Stores of the Flying
Camp in 1776, was made Colonel, and Commissary of Military Stores. Captain
Jesse Roe's company was one of the original companies. Companies were stationed

Sir: — I have completed the draft required by your orders of the 21st May, and wish to
know whether it will be proper to employ them for guarding the frontiers, if it should be
necessary, or call the other Militia to that service. I had made a draft to march to Presqu'
Isle, and the men has rendezvoused before your orders to Countermand it arrived.
The suspension of the law for laying out the town on the lake has created considerable
uneasiness in tiie Country, especially since the people are convinced that the Northern Indians
are hostility disposed. Our frontiers have been hitherto safe, and Captain Seals has exerted
himself much to prevent any ap[)rihcnsion of Danger. He has a fine Company and well dis-
ciplined.
I am with great respect.

had a birthright amongst us the people called Quakers, but not duly regarding the
Grace of God in his heart he has almost wholly neglected the attendance of our
meetings, attending diversions and consenting to have his name entered as a Light
Horseman, for which libertine conduct he has been tenderly dealt with in order
for his restitution, but our endeavors not having the desired etTect we hereby testify
that the said Jeremiah Harlan hath no longer a right of membership amongst us,
until he experiences true repentence."
'I'liK .Srr.Mi' I'AMn.v.— Joliii Stump and his wife ^[ary were Prussians of wealth and
culture, wlio em. from Prussia to Maryland about the year 1700. The name of his European
ancestors is said to have been si)ellcd Stumpf. John Stump was a cousin of Baron Irederick
vou der I'renck itlie younger of tlie two famous kinsmen of that name), who lluured con-
spicuously durins the reign of Frederick the Great. John Stump purchased a large tract of
land, near the present town of Pcrryville, Cecil Co., Md., where he d. 1747, having divided his
properly between his only surviving children, John and Henry.
In 1751 Henry Stump removed to the valley of Deer Creek (then a part of Baltimore
Co.), where he imrchased the "Walnut Dale Farm," which has ever since remained in the
lamib' ; it now ( 1S87) belonging to his grandson Dr. David Harlan [No. I35,s]. He resided on
this farm until his de.lth, and with his brother John was bur. in the family b. g., which they
established there.
Henry Stump m. about the year 1755, Rachel Perkins, of Baltimore, Md., some of whose
ancestors arc said to have come over in the Mayflower. Very little is known of her family.
Three of her brothers — Reuben, William, and Elihu — were residents of what is now Harford
Co., Md., and in 1772/3 Reuben Stinnp bought of one Thomas Miller 200 acres of land, which
he sold two years afterwards, and removed to "Ten Mile Creek." Reuben Perkins owned a
tract of land on Sus(iuehaima, bearing the unfathomable name of " F.ight Rap" (which might
well be taken for, " A trap," to catch the unwary philologist), on which Lapidum now stands.*
John Stump (John) was a merchant, and the owner of a number of mills in Baltimore,
Virginia, and Harford Co., Md. By the extensive business in which he was engaged and the
numerous commercial ventures, he acquired a fortune which was immense for those days —
his property shortly after his death being valued at $1,317,000. An interesting episode of his
career was the building of a vessel at Rock Run, Harford Co., Md., in 1803, as this was
probably the only ocean-going vessel ever built there. He called the vessel " Hetty," in honor
* From a paper entitled: "The Oldest Stumps of Harford and Cecil Counties, Md.,"
read before the I listorical .Society of Maryland, January 15, i8.'^7, by Doctor George W. Archer.

of Ilis cousin Esther, daii. of his uncle, Henry Stinnp, who three years before had m. Jeremiah
Harlan [No. 356]. The "Hetty" was a fleet, staunch little craft. She was mostly em))loyed
in the West Indian trade, and by the large returns she lirought her owner well repaid his
exceptional enterprise in building her. Esther Harlan was present at the launching of her
namesake and herself performed the act of christening her. As the vessel glideil into the water,
she broke a bottle of wine over her bow and uttered this couplet:
" b^roni rocks and sands, and enemies' hands,
May God preserve thee, Hetty."

" As early as 1795. journals of travelling Friends indicate that there was quite
a settlement of Friends in Half Moon.
" The name of Wilson is mentioned among others. As early as 1800, a house
of worship was erected. Conspicuously prominent among the promotors of the
church enterprise were Thomas Downing, George Wilson, Caleb Way, Isaac
Moore, John Spencer, Thomas Moore. Descendants of these people are still among
the leading spirits of the organization, which has enjoyed an uninterrupted and
prosperous history since its foundation. There is in existence a Meeting Book,
which records the deaths, and marriages performed among the Quakers of Half

letter, which is approved antl signed."
Nottingham Monthly Meeting, 7, 29, 1797:
"The Committee in the case of Josej)!! Harlan, having attended to their
appointment, now offer a testimony which is approved and signed.
" Whereas Joseph Harlan, a son of Solomon Harlan, had a right of member-
ship amongst the people called Quakers, l)ut for want of attention to the manifesta-
tions of Divine Grace in his heart, which would have preserved him from error,
gave way to unwatchfulness, and a lukewarmness in disposition so much as to
neglect the attendance of our religious meetings, and has also married a woman not
professing with us, by the assistance of a hireling minister.
" We therefore after endeavoring to convince him of his weakness, do testify
that we do not own him as in membership with us untill he may be favored with a

I had delayed uivinj;- you an answer until ahout the time she look sick which put a

1814 and died on 11 January 1815. On the same died a yount,' negro man whom I had raised
from a child. A young man who lived in my family and i)rocured the colTm fur my wife was

weeks between lier and lier stepmother's death. My family of black iicoi)le, twelve in nnniher,
all lying sick at the same time, some siieecliless and nearly all senseless. .\s tlie ^rown ones
afterward told mc, they knew nothing of the sickness and death of their mistress nor fellow
servants who died. During the whole of these scenes it pleased (kkI to continue me in jierfect
health . . . without the slightest change.
Upon the return of spring my family began to recover, which invigorated my body and
mind, and having lost considerable by breaking uj) house on the death of my ln>l wife, I
determined not to fall into the same snare again, and commenced a very large crop of corn,
and resumed housekeeping without a single soul to assist me e.xcept my negroes, to whom
... it pleased (Jod to bestow a very liberal share of good health.
I wished to spend the balance of my days in retirement. But to my utter astonishment
on the 6th of July, a very lengthly address was handed me from a large and respectable class
of my fellow citi/ens soliciting me to olTcr for fiovcrnor of Tennessee. Having been fre-
quently eluded for leaving my country's service, I thought I would give my name, and did so
and wonderful to tell I was elected in twenty six days after receiving the address alhuled to,
without having the wish or expectation of being elected.
In answer to this please give me the latest and best accounts of our people to whom I
wish to be remembered in the language of friendship, and to each of your family in particular.
Please answer this on receipt and be assured of a constant correspondence.
Your affectionate brother,
JoSKl'tl McMiNN.
I have not paid the postage,* as I know that letters are more fre(|uently attended to when
not paid. When you address your letter to me do it as follows.
Joseph McMinn
Governor of the State of Tennessee,
Knoxville.
New C.\nton, Hawkins County, Tennessee.
4 January 1823.
Di-ar Brother & Sister.
Your very nuich esteemed letter of 2 of September 1821 came to hand by due course of
mail and would have been answered long since had not a variety of causes combined to pre-
vent it being done, hirst I was in a day or two of retiring frotn the office of Governor when
your letter came to hand, which I had held during the period prescribed by the Constitution
of tlie state, and secondly I enjoyed a very delicate state of health and had to travel 275 miles
to my residence where I arrived on the 19 November iSji.
I am truly sorry to hear the situation of Uncle George and Aunt Sarah, who have both
witnessed better times, and indeed it always fdls my heart with sympathy to see or hear that
any portion of my fellow beings are spending the evenings of their lives in poverty and dis-
tress . . . tho the charge lies at the door of by far the greater part of those afflicted, nor does
He withhold from any the means of providing a comfortable sujiport.
I have on a former occasion t advised you of my marriage to third wife and now I have
the painful task of stating to you that we are separated, by her resolving to remain in Nash-
ville with her relatives instead of coming to this place; upon which I returned her every
article of property which came into my hands by marriage, and gave her $2000.00 out of my

(lau);liters (Hetty liy name) wlio was raised by my first wife and myself, her mother liaving
died when this yonng woman was but a few days old, and since which time she has kept house
for me and is a line promising girl, and if she continues to please me until my deatli or some
other change takes place ... I have proposed to make her more deeply interested in my
estate than any of her cousins.
My brother Robert's oldest sou of full age lives with me but he is not well calculated to
live and conduct so large a business as mine ... if your son Robert or any of your children,
married or unmarried, think proper to come here, I will place them upon the same footing as
Hetty my niece stands, and give a share of the proceeds of the farm, or standing wages as
they might ciioose. I live in a very public place and keep a tavern lor the accomodation of
travellers and also a grocery for purchasing supplies for the house, and am making money
pretty fast, hard as the times are. I cultivate about lOO acres of land, and have about twenty
negroes.
In conclusion ... as we cannot have the pleasure of conversing face to face, let lis avail
ourselves of the next best opportunity of writing to each other. . . . riixo my Ime to your
family and relatives . . . whilst I remain your atTectionate Hrother,

The story i^oes that Jo.seph ITackncy visited relatives in the state of Illinois in
1846, and that it was U])on the occasion of this visit that his death occurred. He
was upon horsehack, and as his horse returned to the place where he had been
sto])pin.i^ without his rider, friends went in search and found his hody upon the
hank of a small stream. He had probably dismoiuitcd for a drink. A few years
later one of his sons had his body removed to Cicor.^etown, \'erniillion Co.. 111.

Joseph Gist PLarlan's advantages for an education were limited, but he
attended the country school, studied well, read a good deal and took advantage of
every opi.ortunity to improve himself. He lived on his father's old farm on Fair
I'orest Creek, Union District, S. C. He was modest and unpretentious, and a
law-abiding citizen. About 1856, he and his f.amily moved to Union where he
conducted a boarding house, and a saddlery and harness shop. Pie was generous.

Klizaheth will come to see me.
"February 9th, 1829: At Solomon Braden's, and exjiect to stay some time.

" I'ebruary 22nd, 1829: This is the Sabbath, and Solomon, ;nid his wife, and I.
are starting to Sandusky, in the sleigh, to see Samuel and Jehu.
" I'A-bruary 23d. 1829: I am at Jehu Ilarlan's, near Sandusky, and am well
pleased with him and his wife, and Samuel and his. They have good farms, and
the most timber on it I ever saw. They live within 6 miles from the ])lace where
Colonel Crawfortl was burneil. They live on the head waters of the Scioto River.
Samuel has one child, and Jehu has three.

" ,\l)ril 5th, i82(;; This is the Sabbath. I am i)reiiared to start, and must
leave these dear relations, to see them no more until the Ressurcclion. . . . Came
to Man>field, led my m.ire, aiiil got the direction to Mount X'enion, in Knox
county."
The compiler has carefully read the old journal, wherein he speaks of his
visit to these i)eople, and fails to find any mention made of his meeting with the
widow of Daniel Harlan, though it is said that she d. in 1831, or about two years
after this visit. She probably d. earlier than 1831, and was deceased at the time
he was there.

George Harlan's party built the wagon road from h^ort I'.ridger to Salt Lake.
They filled in the rocks at the head of W^eber Canon, and let down their wagons
after taking them apart, thus making a road for the Donnor i)arty the next winter.
Two years later the IMormons from Illinois followed his road to Salt Lake. George
Harlan's train was the first that ever crossed the great desert south of the lake.
