Notes:

James Harland, Yeoman and member of the Episcopal Church, was born 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 died an Englishman, and was buried upon English soil, no one today knows where. Tradition says that the name of his father was William.

James was married according to the usages of the the Established Church. His children were baptized and recorded therein; and established by the fact that the earliest record we have of his son, George, is that he was "Baptise at the Monastery of Monkwearmouth in Oald England." We have no record giving the name of his wife and mother. So far as known, James Harland was the father of three sons.

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 1/2 mile north of Sunderland. It receives its name from name from its location near the mouth of the river Wear. Burned and plundered time and again, only the tower and some detached parts of the church remain. In 1790 the parish registers, with the exception of some of the late records, were destroyed by fire. [Resource: Alpheus H.
