    Notes:



    John William Harlan's occupation was the manufacture of brick, and as such he spent many years of his life in the city of Austin, Travis County, Texas, where he superintended the largest brick making plant in that state, if not the largest in the entire South. During this period he made the brick which entered into the Terrell Insane Hospital, the power house, and big dam at Austin, Texas, The Confederate Home, the State House and a number of other buildings in that beautiful city. A stroke of paralysis disabled him from attending to his duties, and he came North to spend his remaining days, which were so few, among his people. He was a Master Mason, and at his death a member of Harveysburg (Ohio) Lodge No. 312.
