Other Events:

• Occupation: Farmer
• Religion: Society of Friends (Quaker)
• Residence: 1796; From North Carolina to Columbia, Ohio
• Residence: 1797, Warren County, Ohio, United States

Notes:

George Harlan was a native of Chatham, North Carolina, a Quaker in religious belief, and a farmer by occupation. He removed to Ohio in 1796, locating first at Columbia, and in 1797 proceeded to Warren County, north of Lebanon, where he resided until his death, December 21, 1846. He was the first Sheriff of Warren County, and also served as County, Commissioner, Justice of the Peace, and Associate Judge of Common Pleas Court. He was a member of the General Assembly of Ohio from 1807 to 1809. His wife Hester (Eulass) was a native of Harrisburg, Virginia., in the Shenandoah Valley, and a daughter of Jacob Eulass, an early pioneer of what is now Scott County, Ky., settling there in 1787, of Holland descent. She died December 29, 1858, in her eighty-first year. The preceding facts are taken from an old family Bible, once the property of Judge Robert Harlan's grandfather, and handed down to the present generation. It was probably published about 1700.

So far as is known this was the first Quaker family to locate in Ohio. [Source: W. H. Beers & County, Chicago, 1882, "The History of Clinton County, Ohio", (reprint, Evansville, Indiana: Unigraphic, Inc., 1971]

COPY OF GEORGE HARLANS LETTER TO HOWARD (HIS SON) Jan 23, 1845
Jane Harlan received permission from Haveford College to post George's letter on the Harlan Family web site. Jane transcribed the original and made small alterations to make it more readable (like adding commas and semi-colons and modifying spellings that would confuse the reader).

George married Esther Eulass on 10 Nov 1796 in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky, United States. Esther was born on 15 Oct 1777 in Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Virginia, United States; died on 29 Dec 1858 in Warren County, Ohio, United States; was buried in Jan 1859 in Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Census: 1850, Clear Creek Township, Warren County, Ohio, United States; as Esther Harlan, head of household

Notes:

Esther's birth date is given as 1788 in "History of the Harlan Family", but I find this unlikely as she was married and had a child by 1796. She was supposed to be 81 years of age at death and a more likely birth date would be 1777 which I have used.
