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]

"April 14, 1829: ....yesterday George and I went to see Samuel and his family.
"April 15, 1829: George and I went to see Aaron and family, and spent the day very agreeably with them."

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).
