Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family, and Particularly of the Descendants of George and Michael Harlan, Who Settled in Chester County, Pa., 1687
This book had its beginning in the Fall of 1881. I made a visit in September of that year to several of my father's cousins in order to learn from them some thing of the life and history of my great - grandfather Harlan. I knew little of my ancestors at that time, but found there several old letters and records which contained much that I had wanted to know. It became my desire, then, to trace my own line back to an immigrant ancestor, and, later, to set down in permanent form all that could be learned concerning the family. That desire of so long ago has culminated in the present volume.
