I am assuming that you have access to Alpheus Harlan's book, "History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family," and that you are aware of the eleven passages printed in appropriate locations throughout the book.  This book also indicates that he died at a cousins home near Perryville, KY.  It is possible that his journal could have been donated to the genealogy section of a library in that area if you are interested in pursuing it.

Subject: IN-LAWS 

The HARLAN portion of my genealogy is in good shape, or so I thought until I started looking at the IN-LAWS.  I need help finding some of my family that married into the Harlan family.  My paternal grandmother was Rea Hall, daughter of James Martin Hall and Josephine Gray.  She was the granddaughter of Martin Hall and Nancy Nevins.  It is not known if James Martin Hall was a junior to Martin Hall, apparently not, because the junior term is not used and we do not know if Martin Hall had another name.

I am interested in following not only the HALL line but the GRAY and NEVINS as well.

I just happened to stumble onto the Harlan website and I think it's terrific. In looking through it I wasn't able to make a connection to my husband's family, but I have a strong feeling there just might be. His ggg-grandmother was Elizabeth Harlin (could very well be Harlan). I know nothing about her parents or any possible siblings. What I do know is that she was born 22 December 1800 in Kentucky. She married Richard Wesner 30 October 1827 in Crawford County, Illinois. She died 20 December 1859 in Crawford County and is buried in the East Union Cemetery, LaMotte Township, Crawford County, Illinois. Elizabeth and Richard had 11 children. I will be happy to share the information I have with you if you find out that there is a connection. Hope to hear from you soon.

I realize that you were inquiring specifically about your ancestors military career, and even though he was a man of considerable accomplishments, including Post Master, the subject of the War never entered their conversations; however, with the information you already have, using a search engine such as Alta Vista, you should gain ready access to a plethora of military history.

The Alpheus Harlan Book is an absolute treasure for family historians and genealogist and it is correctly titled, "HISTORY and GENEALOGY of the HARLAN FAMILY,"  available from the Harlan family web site at the best possible price anywhere....$60 including S & H (I think) while the publisher offers it genealogical magazine ads for $159.95 plus S&H...I have purchased several copies as gifts and they have all been well received.

You are correct to question the death date of Elizabeth Paxon Summers, it would be something of a strain to die two years before you were born and still have two children.  The death date should have been 1882 instead of 1842.

To answer your other question, the two children (issue) are Elizabeth's.  In 1886, Alpheus spent an enjoyable hour visiting with John Calvin Harlan, and no additional children were mentioned.

John Calvin was one of eight children born to no. 2496 John Harlan and Martha Godfrey, dau. of Thomas Godfrey and Nancy Bromagen.

No. 2496 John Harlan was one of eleven children, son of no.737 Elihu Harlan and Anna Gist, dau of Joseph Gist and Hanna Breede Gist.

No. 737 Elihu Harlan was one of ten children born to no. 199 James Harlan and Edith Howard,

No. 199 James Harlan was one of ten children born to no. 41 Aaron Harlan and Sarah Hollingsworth, dau of Valentine Hollingsworth and Elizabeth Heald.

No. 41 Aaron Harlan was one seven born to   no. 8 Aaron Harlan and Sarah Heald, dau. Samuel Heald and Mary Bancroft (Sarah was born in Mobberly, Cheshire, Old England).

No. 8 Aaron Harlan was 1 of 9 children born to no. 3 George Harlan and Elizabeth Duck, dau. Ezekeiliah Duck and Hannah Hoopes.

In the interest of saving space and typing, I have omitted dates and names of siblings and their spouses. This is not to diminish their importance because they all weave together to make the fabric we know as family.

I hope you find the clarification and elaboration beneficial and will be encouraged to buy the book.  We also hope you will become a frequent visitor to the Harlan family web site.

Regards,
John L. Harlan

Subject: Re: Harlan family: England to Ohio

All I know about my Harlan line, came from handwritten notes by a family member who knew about the family.  My line starts with the marriage of John Harlan and Catherine Fogg in England in 1815.  Somehow, they ended up in the Belmont County, Ohio area and had a total of nine children, they were:

Samuel Dorsey b. 1815 probably born in England, Isaac Rhesa b. 1818, Margaret Ann b. 1821, John Jr. b. 1826, Thomas H. b. 1826,  Mary Jane b. 1828, Catherine Allman b. 1830 married Vincent Daley Hague in Summerfield, Ohio in 1848   (this is my line), Lambert Allman b. 1833, Charles b. 1836

Please post my information, maybe someone will recognize this family of Harlans.

I am at a total loss to know where to begin to look for material which may lead me to finding out when Andrew came to the country and where on the isle he would have hailed from. All I know is that Andrew would have come over sometime after his birth in 1851. If you can provide any suggestions as to where I might begin my research I would be extremely grateful.

Subject: Fwd: Harlan(Harlands) in Ireland

I was browsing the net when i came upon an interesting site about USA Harlans which mentions my town-LURGAN, N.Ireland. I attend Shankill Parish Church in Lurgan mentioned as the marriage place of one of your ancestors. I give you several points of interest to me and i hope to you.

1. My former Scoutmaster was a Samuel Harland. He is deceased and his brother George only died about 6 months ago. They were both Quakers which ties in with your article on the net. There is at least one sister still alive here. They are buried in our local Quaker cemetery. On the wall of the Quaker building is a plaque being the birthplace of James Logan--Wm Penn's secretary on the foundation of Pennsylvania. Therer is  a Logan Drive street here. Incidentally there is a LURGAN in Penn.

2. I used to live in a little village called Annalong in County Down near Newcastle both mentioned in the narrative. Again the Donnalong might be confused as you say with Donaghcloney, a village 5 miles from Lurgan, possibly more correctly.

3. Just a coincidence--my daughter spent 3 weeks 4 years ago in Kennet Square in Penn also mentioned in the narrative.

4. General Sir John Dill buried in Arlington military Cemetery in Washington DC, was a native of this town.

 Perhaps this may assist you in research.SAMMY MALCOLM

I know you have the spelling different..but I noticed you had the spelling I have in your earlier generations..

I know with our name HAYNES...in a single family..three sons changed the spelling from HAINES to HAYNES...two sons kept the spelling of HAINES... that has kept the genealogy confusing and harder to follow...IF they would of only known what would happen thru out the generations with the changing of the original spelling of any sur names..

Malcolm McNab <midloth@earthlink.net> in his recent post, included mention of Parish of Donnahlong, County Down. This  misspelling is so embedded in other publications that we shall never get rid of it, but for what it is worth, we run a correction again:.

............. 4   Ezekiel Harlan b: 16 Aug 1679 in Parish of Donnahlong, County Down, Ireland d: 15 Jun 1731 in Unknown
............. 4   Hannah Harlan b: 4 Apr 1681 in Parish of Donnahlong, County Down, Ireland d: 1701
............. 4   Moses Harlan b: 1683 in Parish of Donnahlong, County Down, Ireland d: Abt. 1748

There is a Donaghalong in County Tyrone, but distance rules this out. The pre-eminent authority on Ulster placenames is Gerry Stockman, Professor Emeritus of Celtic Studies at Queen's University, Belfast. Some years ago, I asked him about the location of a parish called 'Donnahlong' in the vicinity of Lurgan, and he gave his opinion thus:

>Probably a misread for Donaghcloney, a parish which lies along the Lagan in the barony of Iveagh Lower.  We >have spellings Donnaghclona (1442), Donaclona (1601c), Donaghclony (1661), Donochlony (1750c), etc.  If >the final -y were misread as -g, as happens often, you would have a form similar to Don(n)aghlong.

Subject: Re: Sherman G. Harlan/L. L. Spiva

Katey,

The book is available on the Harlan Family web site under "Store"....ultimately from Peggy Harlan Talley of Poteau, OK, and at $60 it is a bargain because our publisher sells it to people whp are unaware of the Harlan web site for $159.95 plus shipping and handling, thus I feel like our's is a bargain for the exact same book.

I probably did not make it clear earlier but my reference to "issue" is genealogical terminology for children, off spring, siblings, progeny, etc.

These are definitely the people you were looking for but your relative was not yet born when Alpheus Harlan gathered this information.  The beauty of this book to you is that you can trace from Sherman G. Harlan all the way back to William in 1594, and realize with the discovery of each spouse additional information about who your kinsmen really are.

Your Sherman G. Harlan was one of ten children (you will learn who they were and who they married), son of # 2742 Wesley Harlan (8th generation og Harlans in America) and Nancy Greenup (Methodist) dau of Thomas Greenup and Catherine McIntosh.  #2742 Wesley was son of  # 800 Jacob  Harlan and Sarah Combs dau. Stephen  Combs and Barbara Allen.  "Jacob Harlan while in Kentucky, was a millwright and the owner of twp horse mills and one water mill.  His home was a preaching place, and was known far and near as the home of some of the handsomest girls in the state of Kentucky.  He was a  man small of stature, and truly a good man."

# 800 Jacob's father and grandfather were both John Harlans....and so on.

JAN,

You need to own a copy of the Harlan book.  If I wanted to select an example for exciting discovery of one's lineage, I would turn to page 512 and discover that #2288 John Harlan (son of Moses, grandson of George) was b. Warren Co., Ohio, 12-30-1816, at age 12 moved w/parents to Parke Co., Indiana and to Peoria Co., IL about 1836...there he m. Caroline Pleas dau. of German born shoe maker John Pleas and Elizabeth Wilkerson.

From this point you can go forward or backward in your families generations, and it's fun, but there is simply too much information to post here. Learning your way around in the "History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family" adds to the pleasure of ownership....if you buy the book and need guidance, I will be happy to help.

Available through this web site...click on Store.

In brief summary, here is a little more of what you are asking for:
    # 8 Aaron Harlan m. Sarah Heald, among their issue was
    #37 George Harlan m. Elizabeth Hope, among their issue was
    #180 George Harlan m. Margery Baker, among their issue was
    #676 Moses Harlan m. Ann Jennings, among their issue was
    #2288 John Harlan  (see earlier E mail)

Looks like Malcolm McNab lost our Elizabeth Duck???  There goes Ezekeliah Duck and Hannah Hoopes if McNab's O'Loughnan is correct.  He doesn't cite any sources other than himself, that I have been able to determine, so I think I'll stay with Alpheus for now.
