Subject: Thomas White Harlan

According to Alpheus Harlan's book, "History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family," page 525 Thomas White Harlan was the son of # 5924 William Harlan, a carpenter and Methodist, and Mary True (Methodist).  William was the son of # 2328 Mathew Harlan and Jemima Milner (both Baptist).  Jemima was the daughter of John and Nancy Meranda Milner.

Thomas White Harlan married Nancy Naylor, 7-4-1886, his younger brother Mathew married Nellie Naylor.  William Harlan and Mary True had twelve children.  The book mentioned above has a great deal of information regarding this family.

I know you would find this book a useful resource for your personal library and it is available at a reduced cost through the Harlan Family web site store.

Regards,
John L. Harlan

Subject: Wilson Barber Harlan

My GG Grandfather was Wilson Barber Harlan, also know as W.B. Harlan (1843 approx.).  I found alot of info on him, including the following. Civil War Vet - Co I, Minnesota, artillery, member of first Montana legislature, came to Montana with Fisk Expedition.  Very active in Montana Horticultural societies, and the Grand Republican army.  I can't find any thing on his parents, however.  I believe he has a brother named Clarence J. Harlan.  He married Mary Horn. They had a son Wilson Clarence Harlan, and daughter Edith Harlan Cross.  Grandchildren, Mary Mabel Harlan (my grandmother), Gilbert Harlan, and Wilson MacClaren Harlan.  I know Gilbert had three sons, Neil, Douglas and John Harlan.

I am not aware of who his parents were, though I believe they lived in Minnesota in the 1840's at least.  I did come across an article that states his ancestors came across with William Penn.  If you have any info on W. B. please let me know.

I am trying to find out information on Charity Harland who died November 16, 1936.  She is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Fremont, Ohio.  I don't know her husband's name. Apparently, she was married several times before becoming a Harland. One husband was a passenger on the Titanic and perished.  I believe some of the other married names are Anderson, Rouse, and Ivory.  We suspect Ivory may be her maiden name.  She came from England. Please let me know if you can help.

I've really enjoyed reading the material on your website. My G-G-Grandmother was Christina Foster Patterson Robinson. Her first husband Johnathan Patterson died on the trail near Donner Lake Oct 14 1846, I'm pretty  sure they were in the wagon train, her affidavit was signed by Daniel Rhoads and William B Rhoads as having known her for 50 and 43 years respectively in 1888.  I believe that many of the group (not Harlans) were related by marriage etc.  The surnames I'm aware of are Patterson, House, Ezra, and Foster/Forster. Does anyone have a complete listing of the members of the train and/or which ones split at Fort Bridger?  Any pointers/suggestions would be appreciated.

From: John L. Harlan  JHarlan62@aol.com 

Hi Cousin:

Phil, we are definitely related, but about as far back as you can go...okay lacking a couple of generations.  Your ancestor Michael Harlan was a brother to mine, George.  Your #4 Michael Harlan was born "nigh Durham, in Bishoprick, England about the year 1660, and early in his life emigrated with his two brothers, George and Thomas  to Ireland, settling in County Down." He remained there until 1687, when he accompanied brother George to America. At the beginning of the year 1690 Michael married Dinah Dixon, daughter of Henry Dixon and settled near Senter Meeting House; afterward they moved to London Grove Township where Michael died the 4th month of 1729 and was buried in Friends Burying Grounds.  The children of Michael and Dinah were #14 George who married Mary Bailey Stewart; #15 Abigail who married Richard Flower; #16 Thomas who married Mary Carter; #17 Stephen who married Hannah Carter; #18 Michael who married Hannah Maris; #19 Solomon who died unmarried; #20 James who married Susanna Oborn and your ancestor, Dinah Harlan who married Thomas Gregg.

Phil, this information was taken directly from Alpheus Harlan's remarkable book, "History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family," and would be tremendously valuable to you in that it traces your ancestry from Michael and Dinah down through the next ten or twelve generations, including the names of siblings and their spouses in each succeeding generation until somewhere near the year 1900.  This volume of over 1,000 pages of text and pictures is for sale on the Harlan family web site at a reduced price, approximately 1/3 of the retail price ($60 including shipping and handling).  http://www.harlanfamily.org/store    Genealogy of the Harlan Family by Alpheus Harlan.

I think you and I are something like first cousins, 13 times removed, in that we are descended from two brothers, thirteen generations apart.  In addition to responding directly to your direct inquiry, I am sending a copy of your correspondence and my response to the Harlan family web site to possibly benefit others who are searching for information.

Regards,
John L. Harlan

I have one very old book which has been in my family for 160 years, and an old Harlan Family Bible that I would like to donate to the Harlan Family Archives.  The book is "The Genuine Works of Flavius Josephus" purchased by David. K. Harlan in 1841.  A note was found in the book, dated Sept. 1914, stating it had been in the family 74 years. There is a full page of births and deaths,dates, etc. hand written in this book, starting with William Harlan, b. 9 Oct 1770. I also have my grandmother's (Mildred G. Harlan Goudeau) family bible.  If anyone is interested, Please contact me by e-mail Thank you, Karol Goudeau Fitzgerald e-mail: howie@koyote.com

Thanks for your note on the John Blackburn question.  The answer to this one  is very easy.  The Menallen meeting house records clearly indicate which John Blackburn married Mary Morton 
-- it says so right on the marriage certificate.

Subject: Which John?

Mary Morton, daughter of John and Mary (Todd) Morton, born about 1763, married 17 Sep 1788 to John Blackburn (1763 - Oct 1800), son of Thomas & Alice (Hewitt) Blackburn.  According to the Blackburn Family History. The Harlan   Family Genealogy says she married John Blackburn, s/o Moses & Mary (McGrew) Blackburn in December 1788. Both of the Johns (I believe) were in York County PA.

Mary and John had a son Thomas G. (c1795 - c1842) who married Elizabeth "Betsey" Griffith, older sister of my 3rd great grandfather William Griffith.  Thomas G. is mentioned in the will of their father Thomas Griffith, written   1/11/1831, filed Somerset Co, PA 3/8/1842.

Does anyone have anything to help decide which John was the real husband?

My g.grandmother was a HARLAN.  I still have her family picture album.  In there is a picture taken by a photographer in Richland, OH. and it has been marked on the back HIRAM STOUT.  Dec.20th 1870, age 51 yrs. 11 months.  I have no idea how he fits the Harlan family but if this man belongs in someone's direct line I would be glad to send them the picture for the cost of postage.

Subject:  Harlan- Harlin

I'm looking for information on Ellis Harlen's parents. I believe he may have been from Georgia, and then came to Oklahoma. He had a Ellis Jr. With Lydia Chrittenden on April 2, of 1896. Ellis Jr. Had a son named George Harlan, I'm not for sure of the reason of the name changing. Then he married a woman unknown to me and had my grandfather George Harlan Jr. My grandfather told me that when he was a baby they changed the last name again to Harlin, he was born sometimes in the 30's. Also another thing that I'm interested in is the mansion in Georgia. I have some pictures of it that my grandfather gave me. It's very beautiful. It was a plantation and it was called the "George Harlen Mansion". I'm not for sure if thats how they spelled their last name at the time. If anyone has any kind of information on an Ellis Harlen's parents and their location I would be greatful. Most of all I'd like to know more information about the plantation in Georgia. I know it was in our family but my grandfather told me that some how during the years the papers was lost and it got sold to a woman from Atlanta Georgia. Also, the Ellis Harlen I want information on moved to Stilwell, 
Oklahoma. (I've lived here all my life and love it.)  What was then Indian territory. We are of the Cherokee tribe and it is said we are also from Ireland.

Thank you very much,

Hi! I'm looking for some information about an ancestor of mine. My great-grandfather's mother was Elizabeth E. Harlan, born November 30, 1832 in Hawkins County, Tennessee, and died June 03, 1885. She married John Robert Bussell, and had at least 3 sons (John Robert Bussell Jr., Benjamin Ludwell Bussell, and my g-grandfather Cornelius Josephus Bussell, who was commonly known as Neal Joseph or NJ). I don't know a thing about Elizabeth's parents or siblings. 

Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks! Leslie Bright

To Bruce Tanner 

There is a Mora L. Harlan in our book The History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family as offered in the Store page of this site.  She was born 1, 3, 1874. Her parents were Joshua Harlan # 2585 b,  1, 6, 1834 in Ga but he moved to eventually to Attala Co., Mississippi.  Her mother was Addie Mayfield, b 12, 29, 1844.

Mora was one of seven children all born in Attala Co., Miss.  No further record is given on Mora however the lineage of her father goes back to James # 748, b 8, 15, 1803, Valintine # 200, b 10, 16, 1766 and to Arron, b ca 1724 in Chester Co. Pa. The book actually goes back to James Harland, born in England about 1625 near Durham.

Mora's husband's name is not given nor are any children.  She may very well be your Mora.

Happy New Year!  My Christmas gift to myself was a set of Texas Red Books and I am happy to report that my father, slightly incorrectly spelled, is #1036b in Wolfram's continuation of the Alpheus Harlan genealogy.  Dad is listed as "Clyde Othel" but he was Clyde Odell HARLAN at birth, and later changed his name to Odell Clyde HARLIN.  I still haven't been able to locate a copy of his birth certificate to pin down his birth date.  I am shocked to learn that I have an Uncle Bud, Aunt Rachel, and Aunt Hazel about whom I never was told.  I would be happy if family from this line would email me, please.  Also, if Dad is 1036b, and I am the first child of his second marriage, what is my number and what is my daughter's number (her dad and I remain married)?  Thanks to all who have done lookups, emailed, and otherwise helped and encouraged me in my two-year search to find out how I hook up to the main line.
