• Notes

  Thomas Harlan, Yeoman, Friend, born "Nigh Durham, in Bishoprick, England," where he remained until early manhood, when with his brothers and others he crossed over into Ireland and located in the Parish of Donnahlong, County, Down. It is supposed that he remained there during his life, and that he was buried in the burying grounds at Lurgan Meeting House, County, Armagh. He m. 2, 7, 1680, by ceremony of Friends at Lurgan Meeting, held then "at the house of Francis Robson," in the Parish of Sego, County, Armagh, Katherine Bullock (Friend), b.---, d. 3 mo.1690, County, Down, a daughter of George Bullock, of the Parish of Donnahlong. They were parents of one son Ananias, and of four daughters, Rebecca, Patience, Christian, and Katherine. Thomas married second, 11, 8, 1702 Ailice ffoster, of "Lisnegarvy, at Richard Boyes house, Ballinderry Meeting, County, of Armagh. They were the parents of two sons, James and Thomas, and one daughter, Abigail. The names of George Harland, Alphonsus Kirk, etc., are among the signers to Thomas Harland's first marriage certificate, but it seems that he did not venture to cast his lot in the new world. So far as we can learn he remained in Ireland; his descendants, some fifty years later, crossing into Pennsylvania, and settling in Chester County,. [Resource: Alpheus H.

The earliest paternal ancestor of the Harlans in America that we know much about was James Harland (1)*, son of William Harland. James was called a yeoman, not an aristocrat nor a gentleman, born near Durham, England, about 1625. He was the father of Thomas (2), George (3) and Michael Harlan (4), and had his three sons baptized in the Church of England, at the formerly Catholic monastery of Monkwearmouth near Durham.
