More information is available in the current issue of the Harlan Record.

Subject: Winnfield LA Harlans 
Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2001 

Hello,
I am interested in more information about Harlan's living in Louisiana and Texas.  My paternal grandmother was Eva Belle Harlan.  She passed away when I was 10 (1963) and is buried in Houston, TX.  She was married to William Lee Fagley, my grandfather. She was from Winnfield LA, and one of her sisters owned the "Goat Castle Motel" in that town, which I visited as a child.

My grandfather and father (who was an only child) are deceased, and I would like more info on my grandmother's family.

I do remember she said we were "descended from a Revolutionary war general, and could get into the DAR"---but being a childhood memory, who knows?
thanks

 Subj:   Related to Mary Eunice Harlan, trying to track lineage down

 My Mom is trying to track our link to Mary Eunice Harlan, R.T. Lincoln's wife, but I can' t find much info on the harlanfamily.org site for such an early date. Is there info on Mary's siblings, and their sons and daughters? I'm not sure, but I think Wolf or Shute is the surname that will be the connection. Thanks in advance for any info or a resource you can give us!

I thought that it might be of interest to our people to see a glimpse at the HarlanOnline.Com site sponsored by the Harlan, Iowa Newspapers.  It's always nice to see our name in print.  It would be a good project for one of us to do some research on how the town became blessed with such a renowned name.

Subject: George Oscar Harlan

I recently discovered the Harlan Family web site.  I have been collecting bits of information, birth and death certificates and photos for years in preparation to do genealogy research when I retire. Several cousins on both sides of my family have also done a lot of work on their families.    My father, Hedric Howard Harlan and mother Frieda have both passed on and my grandfather George Oscar Harlan died of typhoid fever when my father was an infant.  Unfortunately I do not have much on the Harlan branch of my tree.  I have looked through the Harlan Family web site and do recognize many similar names but cannot make any connections.  I have information I am willing to share but I will need  some assistance making my connection.

I have found marriage certificates and several photos with notations on the back that might help in the search. 
My father:  Hedric Howard Harlan, born Pagosa Springs, (Archuleta), CO;  dob: Sept 28, 1913;  dod: Dec 30, 1978
His father:  George Oscar Harlan of Pagosa Spgs, CO, married Harriett Orill Dutton of Pagosa Spgs, CO, Dec 10, 1912.

I have a photo of the following;
1. George Oscars father "Grandpa" George Harlan
2. George Oscar's brother (my fathers uncle) Loni Harlan with son Garth B. Harlan, 29th Signal Platoon Air Base McChord Field, Washington. Photo was sent to my father from "Aunt Vera" possibly George Oscars sister.

Only other information is family stories about greatgrandpa George "A" Harlan, and a George Washington Harlan.  I do have relatives in the Reddings area of northern California and the others from southwestern Colorado. 

If anyone is interested is getting me started please contact me at the  my email address;      lhhhowe@yahoo.com

Subject: One of the few, in Canada!

Hello from Canada,

I have been contacted by a John Harland (no relation), from Kelowna B.C.. My name is Tim Harland, second generation in Edmonton Alberta. My father is Thomas Harland from Lurgan, Co. Armagh N. Ireland. He came out to Canada in 1948 and later one of his brother's, Richard Harland settled here after living in Australia and New Zealand.

My father's family has connections with Thompson's and Livingstone's in N.Ireland. The only thing known about his father / my grandfather, James Harland was that he was raised by two "aunts" in the Lurgan / Portadown area. Wild rumor had it he may have been a unplanned birth to the Harland's of Harland and Wolf shipyards. Other than that my father had 5 brothers all deceased now and 5 sisters still living with extended family in and around Lurgan.

My son, Matthew Harland is the 5 generation in the neighborhood in which we live. My mother's side started out with a Harry Taylor who came from England to Canada at the turn of the century settling in Edmonton to start a boat building business on the North Saskatchewan River.

Since then the family has owned the same property on the river and will be enjoying our 100th anniversary in the next few years.

Hi Everyone, I am still searching my Harland strand, which goes back to a George Harland b. 1860 married to Annie Jane Page and had siblings Henry (1847), William (1848), Frederick (1850), Emily (1852), and Edwin (1855).  They were all born to a Richard Harland b. 1824 married to Mary Ann Moore and had siblings Henry (1821), Mary Ann (1822), Eliza (1826),
Amelia (1828), and Jane (1830).  All of these were born to a William Harland which married Susannah Shenson

I also located a burial site of a May Adelaide Harland in Plumstead Cemetery in England who was a daughter of an Engineer.  Does anyone know where she belongs?  She was buried in an unpurchased grave along with other children.

I look forward to anyone responding.  Bye for now.

Subject: Query re Samuel Harlan line

I am David N. Bishop, dnbishop@bellsouth.net.  I hope someone can help me with information related to Samuel Harlan who married Sarah Breede/Breed and Sarah Belew.  A number of his descendants married my relatives.  Anna/Annie Harlan married Thomas Wilbourn, son of Joshua
Welborn and Elizabeth Springer.  Joshua was a brother of Elijah Wilbourn, my third great grandfather [See below].  Also, I have a number of Belew (various spellings) and Springer relatives; in fact, several relatives have both Springer and Belew lines.  Below is a generation or
so of Avery information from my files (not personally proved) that I have annotated to explain my concern/question and also to explain some of my interests in the line.

Descendants of Christopher Avery

Generation No. 1

 1.  Christopher1 Avery  He married Prudence Payson.

Child of Christopher Avery and Prudence Payson is:
+ 2 i. Priscilla2 Avery, born April 29, 1715 in Groton, CT; died Aft.
August 28, 1786 in Washington Co., GA.

Generation No. 2

 2.  Priscilla2 Avery (Christopher1) was born April 29, 1715 in Groton, CT, and died Aft. August 28, 1786 in Washington Co., GA.  She married Joseph Breed June 02, 1737 in Groton, CT, son of John Breed and Mercy Palmer.  He was born October 04, 1708 in Stonington, CN, and died in Washington Co., GA.  [I also have a Palmer line.]

I show the wife of Joseph Breed as Priscilla Avery.  However, she is referred to as "Catherine" in the Harlan book by Alpheus H. Harlan (no last name given that I can find).  If anyone can verify who was Joseph’s wife (or wives), I would be most appreciative.

This very likely is the Joseph Breed who owned land in what is now Union Co., SC, then Craven Co, that adjoined Robert Bishop and land granted to William Bishop in 1773 by King George III [I have a copy of the grant]. One of Joseph Breed’s daughters, Sarah, married Samuel Harlan, who died in Union Co.  Also, the daughter of his daughter, Hannah, was born in Union Co.  It also is likely that this was the Joseph Breed who bought land in Green Co., GA, formerly Washington Co., GA, 24 Jan 1780, from Joseph & Elizabeth Ryley.  Witnesses to this sale were James Bishop & Daniel Chambers.

Additionally, Deed Bk FF, 28 Dec 1787, Wilkes Co., Wm Bishop & Jane, his wife, of Green Co., GA, to Joseph Breed of Wilkes Co., 150 A, part of 300 A beginning on dividing line agreed to by Byrd Pruitt & Joseph Breed, adj. Phillips, Miller, granted 6 May 1784.  [The Pruitts also intermarried with my Wilbourns.]

[I have been trying, with great difficulty, for a number of years, to prove the parents of my third great (paternal) grandfather, David Bishop, and I strongly suspect a connection with these Bishops of Union County.  David Bishop married Elizabeth Ogle, and I descend from their son William Allen Bishop, Sr.  Another son, John, married Jane Wilbourn, son of Elijah Wilbourn and Mary Roundtree, my ancestors on my mother’s side.  I descend from Jane’s brother William Sanford Wilbourn who married Nancy Burge.]

Children of Priscilla Avery and Joseph Breed are:
 3 i. Joseph3 Breed, Jr., born April 01, 1738 in Groton, CT; died Bef. May 1807 in Warren Co., GA.
+ 4 ii. Priscilla Avery Breed, born October 14, 1742 in Groton, CT; died 1808 in Barren Co., KY.
+ 5 iii. Nathan Breed, born August 10, 1755 in Groton, CT; died October 28, 1825 in Monroe Co., KY.
+ 6 iv. Sarah Breed, born in probably Union Dist., SC; died Abt. 1795 in Union Dist., SC.
+ 7 v. Hannah Breed.
+ 8 vi. Ann/Anna Breed, died Aft. 1813 in Union Dist., SC.

Hi,

My name is Linda McManus. I have been researching the Osborn family of Chester County Pennsylvania for several years and also the Harlan family. I found your site and the marriage of George Harlan and Elizabeth Duck. Although the marriage took place in Ireland, resources indicate that the Harlans were from England. Peter Osborn m. Judith Duce/Deuce/ and some say Bolin. They came from England to Pheladelphia ca 1712. There is information on them on the net. I find that the Harlans are intermarried with the Osborns, Lambs, Hodgons/Hodsons in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, and other Quaker communities. Could it be possible in the transposing of the marriage of Geoge and Elizabeth Duck's wedding, that she was a Duce, rather than a Duck? 

Thanks for your assistance, Linda

You do have one other option to consider and that is you may display the logo as one large image ( which I prefer) or you may select many images of it as tile.  You can select your preference by clicking on the following settings of your computer.

Select in the following sequence:  Control-Settings-Control Panel-Display- then you may choose-Tile or Center. I'm not guaranteeing that this will work in all cases but suggest that you do try it; I think it's worth looking into.

The information I am researching is "Harland", and below is what I know:

Edwin Norman Harland - born in 1882 in Kent England - died Sept.23,1970
He was born to George and Annie Jane Page - George Harland was born in 1860 in Kent, and died in 1987 in Mottingham.  His parents were Richard Harland who was married to Mary
Ann Moore.

 Edwin Norman had siblings: Helena Annie (1878 Kent), Frederick George (1880 Kent, who supposedly was raised by their Gramma Eleanor Page...Annie mother), Maude Mary (1881,
Kent) who married a William Morris and had six kids (I do have the name of these kids, and who they married and their offspring, but I do not know which country they are in).  Jessie Alice (1884, Kent) supposedly came to Canada but was believed to die of a broken heart?? Lillian E who married a fellow with the last name Aston (1887, Hatcham), who is turn has two sons:  Ronald (supposedly married an Evelyn, and Norman),Grace E (1889, Kent), who had one daughter named Evelyn, Florence (1895) who was never married (supposedly June MacNab had contact with her, but no longer has the information), Leonard (1897), who supposedly died at infancy, actually the same year as their father George.   From all of these siblings, Frederick is the only one who would have had the opportunity to continue our Harland name.  There are rumours he came to Canada, but to determine this one has to go through all the immigrant ship lists, a rather lengthy process.

 Edwin's dad George C. (1860, Lewisham Kent), had siblings: Henry Richard (1847, Kent), William Alfred (1848, Kent), Frederick (1850,Kent), Emily Susanah (1852, Kent), Edwin James
(1855, Kent).

 George and his siblings were born to Richard Harland and Mary Anne Moore.  Richard had siblings: Henry, Mary Ann, Eliza, Amelia, and Jane. Supposedly there are more, but I have yet to determine these.  Hopefully the girl in Australia will contact me.  These children, including Richard, had parents William Harland and Susannah Shenson. William could have been born approximately 1798 in St. Werburgh, Kent, England.  Him and Susannah could have been married around 1823.

Oooops, I just got some more information  however it shows discrepencies with William as to his married date, etc.

Subject: Harland Information

Hi everyone ... I have found a bit more information on my family and I was woundering if any of these inidividuals rung a bell with you.  Perhaps if these do ring a bell, would it be of interest for me to get a hold of the Harland book? 

 My husband comes from Edwin Norman Harland who was born in Kent England Dec. 10, 1882. He had 8 siblings of which we know nothing about (we thought there were none), until lately we got some names and dates but do not know how to find their offspring.  They were Helena Annie, born in 1878 in Chislehurst, Kent England; Frederick George, born in 1880, also Chislehurst (the only one from our strand that would have produced the Harland name); Maude Mary, born in 1883, in Do Kent, and married William George Morris and had six children; Edwin Norman born in 1882 in Chislehurst (he is my strand) and married Maude Mary Westcott (they emmigrated to Canada, had two boys); Jessie Alice, born in 1884 in Do Kent, supposedly came to Canada; Lillian E, born in 1887, and became a Mrs. Aston, who supposedly has offspring in London; Grace E. born in 1889 in Do Kent, had one daughter; Florence E., born in 1895, but never married; and Leonard born in 1897, but died as a child.  The details I have stated is absolutely all I know. 

These individuals were born to George (born in 1860, died in 1897) who was married to an Annie Jane Page (daugher of Eleanor Page .... Eleanor supposedly raised George and Annie's first son Frederick?). George parents were supposedly a Richard and Mary Ann Moore.  George had 
siblings:  Henry Richard (born in 1847 Strood Kent), William Alfred (born in 1848 Strood Kent), Frederick (born in 1950 in Strood Kent), Emily Susannah (born in 1852 in Deptford Kent), Edwin James (born in 1855, Sydenham Kent), and finally my George (born in 1860 in Lewisham Kent) 

Richard was born in 1824, and died in 1896.  He was born to William and Susannah Shenson. 

Well that is it.  I was hoping to find some of Frederick's offspring (the one born in 1880). 

I would appreciate you replying to me, I am not sure if you can help me or not. 

Thank you muchly and I anxiously await your reply...

If anyone has any definite information about the later years in South Carolina of Aaron and his wife Sarah Hollingsworth Harlan I would appreciate hearing from you.  All the Harlan book (page 38) says is: "Some years later he moved into Laurens District, SC and still later into Union District, SC.  Aaron was probably buried in the old "Harlan Grave Yard".  It is thought his wife died in Laurens District and was buried there.  Does anyone even know where the old "Harlan Grave Yard" is located?       Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Harlans in Yolo

I am researching my husband's family.  I can go back from his ggrandfather by means of the Harlan Family History Book.  I am going to purchase it as it is not accessible through our library.  What I would like to know is if it will give me the newere generations of Harlans that descended from Joseph Helm Harlan (m Grace Barnes in Yolo Co Calif somewhere in the mid 1800's)  I have the names of their children and spouses, thanks to John Harlan, but am at a standstill except for some of the dates of death.  If the book does not go further than this generation is there someone who can help me.  My husband's grandfather was married twice and I can find nothing on the first family, nor much about the grandparents.  I am looking for addresses so that I might write to family members, especially that of Burnell Harlan of Woodland.  Woodland is not to far from where we live and I am promising myself that this year I will use the historical society there as the original ranch is still a working enterprise. 

Thanks for any info or directions.  Sue Harlan  jharlan@inreach.com

Hi. My name is Heather Harlan. I live in New York City. (No, I am not the Heather Harlan who married Tony Randall)  I am trying to get information about Kenneth Harlan, my  father. He died when I was very young (around 1971) and was originally from Des Moines, Iowa, but later lived in NY where he married my mother.  He was a basketball player and almost went pro. I don't know anything else. Are any of his relatives out there? If so, please contact me. 

Thanks.

Just found this page.  I am interested in information on Susan Mary Harlan ancestors. I've just started researching this branch.  She was born about 1862.  I don't know where.  She married Isaac Turnmire in 1880 and Cal Sears 1885 in Putman County, Missouri.  I think her parents are Francis Marion and Mary Harlan.  All are buried in the Cox Cementery, Adair County Missouri. Please email me at rround@msn.com  with any information on this family.

Subject: Burt and Enos Lackey of Ohio

Attention: Pat Hormell 
Your ancestors are, indeed, in the Harlan genealogy book, in fact, there are 27 Lackeys listed in the index of the Harlan book. 

The information in the book is somewhat different from the lineage that you listed.  It shows that your hubby's grandfather, Bert L., was born 6, 15, 1872 but at the time the information was collected, he was not married so his wife's name is not shown.

His father was Ellworth E. # 5797 and was born 9, 30, 1844, m. Laura Sellers, b. 3, 20, 1848. They had three children; Walter, Raymond L., and Bert L.

Ellsworth's father was Enos Lackey #2267, b. 10, 21, 1802 who married Matilda Irwin, b. 9, 9, 1806, she d. 12, 11, 1881 near Lebanon.  They had 14 children, all born in Warren Co., Ohio.

Enos' mother was Sarah Harlan # 674b. 6, 5, 1774, who married Richard Lackey, 
b.11, 3, 1779, d. 4, 3, 1848 on his farm in Warren Co.  His father's name was Thomas Lackey, a farmer in Fayette Co., Pa.

Sarah's father, as you indicated was George Harlan # 180, whose father was George, Sr. # 37.  Then comes Aaron # 8 and then George #3 as you mentioned.

I hope that this clears up a few things for you.  Since you are certainly a "cousin" would you care to be listed in the Cousin Pages of this site?

Subject: Cornelius V. Harlan

Well, I stand corrected.  Right after sending my e-mail to you I took one more look at the Harlan Genealogy book and did find you Roscoe and Cornelius.  But the were switched from what you had indicated.  According to the book:

Cornelius V. Harlan # 2520, b. 8, 30, 1834 in Darke Cty, Ohio, d. 12, 13, 1900 in Union City, Ind.  Married Elizabeth Tillson, b there 3, 14, 1836; d. 9, 30, 1864, daughter of Isaiah Tillson, 
b 8, 8, 1801 and Hannah Stuart, b 9, 3, 1803.
issue:
# 6383  Josephine, b 7, 26, 1855, m. Jesse Brown
# 6384  Roscoe M., b. 4, 23, 1858 in Darke County, M. Blanch Boughton
# 6385  Mahala Eldora, b. 2, 16, 1862 in Darke Cty, M. J. O. Sackman

Again, all of this information is contained in the Harland genalogy book offered in the site at the Store-Book pages at  http://www.harlanfamily.org/  Harlan Family In America Site.  His 
ancestors are also listed going back to Jacob # 740, James # 199, Aaron # 41, Aaron # 8 and finally #3 George and James, # !.

Hope that this helps.
