"George Harlan, Yeoman, "Ye sone of James Harland of Monkwearmouth, was
Baptised at the Monastery of Monkwearmouth in Oald England, ye 11th Day
of First Month 1650." He was b. "Nigh Durham in Bishoprick, England,"
and remained there until he reached manhood, when, in company with his
brother and others, he crossed into Ireland and located in the County
Down. While residing there he m. by ceremony of Friends, 9 17, 1678,
Elizabeth Duck. George Harlan* brought his family to America in 1687,
and the nine years intervening were without doubt spent in the above-
named parish and county, and there, too, in all probability, his first
four children were born. He d. in "Fifth Month" (July), 1714, and was
buried beside his "deare wife in the new burying grounds on Alphonsus
Kirk's land," which was afterwards, and is yet, Center Meeting Burying
Grounds. George and Elizabeth were parents of nine children: ..."
*"After coming to America George and Michael Harland dropped the final
"d" and the name is almost universally spelled Harlan."
From the Marriage Book of Lurgan Mo. Mtg., p. 91.
"George Harland, of Parish of Donahlong, Co. Down, Ireland, and Elizabeth
Duck, of Lurgan, Parish of Shankill, Co. Armagh, were married "at the
house of Marke Wright in ye Parish of Shankill," 9 Mo. 17, 1678.
Signers to the cerfificate:
Henry Hollingsworth Wm. Porter George Harland
John Calvert Timothy Kirk Elizabeth Harland
Roger Kirk Alphonsus Kirk
Deborah Kirk
Elinor Hoope
Robert Hoope
Thomas Harland
From William Stockdale's "A Great Cry Of Oppression."
"George Harland had taken from him for Tithe, by Daniel Mac Connell...
twelve stooks and a half of Oats, three stooks and a half of Barley,
anf five loads of Hey, all worth ten shillings ten pence."
"No certificate of the membership of George Harland with Friends is
upon record, but his marriage certificate shows us that at that time
he was a member, and as early as "Tenth Month" (December), of 1687,
he was placed upon committees of responsibility in Friends' affairs
in his new neighborhood. At the time of his residence in Ireland,
William Penn was urging Friends of England to become settlers upon
his lands, cautioning them, however, against "leaving their own country
out of idle curiosity or of a rambling disposition." But names signed
above we find later in the new world, and, as we have seen, George was
buried upon "Alphonsus Kirk's land." So they were not without friends
when they made their settlement near the Delaware."
"In the early year 1687, in company with his wife and four children,
and his brother Michael, then unmarried, he took ship at Belfast for
America. They had bought lands before coming* which were within that
part of the Province of Pennsylvania now embraced in the Couny of New
Castle. Ascending the river Delaware they landed at the town of New
Castle (now in Delaware State), and settled near the present town of
Centreville. Here the elder brother remained for some years, and about
1698/99, having purchased higher up Brandywine Creek, he moved his family
and settled in what is now+ Pennsbury Township, Chester County,
Pennsylvania."
*"From the old warrants granted "within the County of New Castle, on
Delaware," we learn that "George Harland" and "James & Thomas Harlin"
purchased lands there in the summer of 1686, and that "James Harland"
did likewise in Janaury of 1701."
+"It was then Kennett, but later the township was subdivided."
"While living in Kennet Township (now Pennsbury), George Harlan had for
neighbors a settlement of Indians who lived in the "Great Bend" of the
Brandywine. After they had gone he obtained, in 1701, a warrant for 200
acres of land in the bend, which was granted to him "in regard for the
great trouble and charge he had borne in fencing and maintaining the same
for said Indians while living thereon."
"We find his name among the signers of the return for a road laid out in
the winter of 1704-5. This road ran "from the fork of the Brandywine, in
Alice Vestal's land" to a white oak "standing by ye road from George
Harlands to Neman's Creek Mill."
"George Harlan first belonged to Newark Meeting, but after his removal up
the Brandywine and westward, he was too remote from this meeting for
punctual attendance, especially in the winter, and at a request of himself
and others, a meeting "beyond Brandywine" was established. From the
Monthly Meeting records of Center Meeting, as the meeting was called, we
read: "This meeting appoints George Harlan, Thomas Hollingsworth,
Alphonsus Kirk, & Samuel Groves, to take ye oversight of ye building of ye
Centre Meeting House requesting ym with all convenient speed to let out
ye work to some workmen in order yt it may more speedly done & return an
acctt to ye next meeting how they proceed." The deed for the land had
been conveyed by Alphonsus Kirk, while yet a member of Newark, to John
Craig, Samuel Groves and John Richardson. The consideration was L12,5s."
"George Harlan soon became one of the foremost citizens of the colony. He
had been one of the provincial governors of the "three lower counties,"
now the state of Delaware, in 1695, and was a member of the Colonial
Assembly in 1712. His colleagues were Caleb Pusey, David Lloyd, William
Davis, John Baker, Nathaniel Newlin, Nicholas Farlamb, John Wood, Isaac
Taylor, and John Maris."
"Upon the first day of March, 1713, he deeded 293 acres to his son-in-law,
William Webb, for a consideration of 30 pounds. On the ninth day of the
same month, "in consideration of the Natural Affection & fatherly love
which he hath" and also "for divers other good causes and valuable consi-
derations," he deeded 200 acres each to his sons James and Joshua."
"George Harlan died in "Fifth Month" (July), 1714. The date of the death
of his wife is unknown, but in his will he requests that he be buried
beside his "deare wife in the new burying grounds."
