June 2, 1788 - Deep River Monthly Meeting, North Carolina, pg. 813, Enoch Harlan & family (sons: Nathan, William, Nathaniel, David, Solomon and Enoch) received on certificate from Center Monthly Meeting, North Carolina, dated May 17, 1788.

Enoch Harlan was a native of Chester County, Penn., a member of the fourth generation of the name in this country, and was born the 27th of December, 1745. He was the son of Ezekiel and Mary, both of whom were born Ireland, the former 16th of July, 1679. The grandson of George and Eliza, the former born in England January 11, 1650, the latter in Ireland, and the great grandson of James, born in England prior to 1623. The grandparents, George and Eliza, were of the William Penn Stock of Friends (commonly called Quakers), though the Harlans before him were members of the Church of England. In 1687, George Harlan and his family and his brother Michael emigrated to America, and settled near Christian Hundred, on the Delaware River, in the present State of Delaware, and in the "verge" of Center Monthly Meeting of Friends. They some few years after crossed the Delaware and settled in Chester County, Penn. Enoch was the youngest in a family of seven children, five sons and two daughters. He married according to the discipline of Friends, about the year 1768, Edith Carter (a sister of Nathaniel and George Carter, who were many years ago well known among the early Friends as prominent ministers of that church). History does not record the date of his emigration, but at an early day he took his family and settled in Guilford County, N. C., and in the verge of Springfield Monthly Meeting. Eleven children were born to Enoch and Edith Harlan, eight sons and three daughters. Here he died 18th, 10th, 1794, at the age of forty-nine years. After his death, the widow and her children continued to reside in that State: but the great center of attraction soon became the "Territory Northwest," or the then new State of Ohio. Her boys had grown to manhood, and more lands were necessary. While yet residents of that State, Nathan had married Sarah Hunt; William married Charity Kimbrough; Nancy married Nathan Mendenhall; Nathaniel had gone to Kentucky, where he had settled, and married Elizabeth Berry; David married Susan Brummel. The rest of the children were yet at home.

In 1803, Nathan and William Harlan left that State on horseback on a prospecting tour, coming to Maysville, Ky., and crossing the river, entered the "new State." They traveled northward, through what is now the county of Brown, into Highland (the latter county at that time included nearly all of Clinton), and stopped near Hillsboro for a short time. They left there and passed through the present county of Clinton, and as far west as the Great Miami River, when they turned back and went home as they came, via Hillsboro. The next year (1804), William came with his family to this State, and settled near Hillsboro, where he remained until the early fall of 1806, when he left his family and returned with his four-horse team and wagon to Guilford County, N. C., for the purpose of removing his widowed mother and her children (yet at home), namely, Hannah, Enoch, John and Rebecca, to this State, which he accomplished the same fall. In the meantime, Nathan had removed from that State and settled on lands purchased of the Dakin colony, in Survey 1,994--lands now owned by John P. Denny's heirs, but for many yours the farm of Joseph Coates.

In the spring of 1807, William removed his family and his mother's family, and settled on 200 acres of land they had purchased of James and Lydia Dakin Birdsall.

The same year, Elizabeth Harvey, a sister of Edith Harlan, came out from North Carolina with her sons, Eli, Isaac, Caleb and Joshua, and settled in Survey 2,372 (now in Adams). Soon after, Jacob Hale, her son-in-law, Nathan Mendenhall, son-in-law of Edith Harlan, Eli Maden, Nathaniel Carter, George Carter, Jonathan Harlan and David Harlan left North Carolina and came to Ohio. Of these, Eli Maden married Hannah, a daughter of Edith Harlan, and (in 1810) having purchased of Isaac Harvey 100 acres of land for a consideration of $300, moved to and settled upon it. This upon lands now owned by George and John Maden (in Adams).

Jacob Hale purchased lands with the Harveys, and settled where Schoolhouse No. 1 stands (in Adams Township). His son, Armonia Hale, still owns the land. Jonathan Harlan married Hannah Morrison, and settled in Survey 1,994, on lands and settled in 2,371. The farm is now owned by John and George Maden. Large families descended from these pioneers, and are today scattered throughout the United States, and what Chester County, Penn., was at one day, and Guilford County, N. C., was at a later one, Clinton is today, the birthplace of a large number of the Harlan family. John C. Harlan, in 1816, married Lydia, a daughter of Jacob Hale, and settled in Chester Township. Enoch married Betsy Harvey, and removed to Warren County,. Rebecca, the youngest, married 18th, 12th, 1818, Abram Hampton, and many years ago emigrated to Iowa. [Source: Chicago: W. H. Beers & County, 1882, "The History of Clinton County, Ohio", (reprint, Evansville, Indiana: Unigraphic, Inc., 1971) Chester Township, pg. 657-658]

Enoch married Edith Carter about 1768. Edith was born on 27 Apr 1749 in Kennett Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, British Colonial America; died on 15 May 1830 in Adams Township, Clinton County, Ohio, United States; was buried in May 1830 in Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio, United States.
