William Harmon

(Ca 1745 - )



There is a record of a hunting party to Kentucky [Longhunters] 1767-69 from an unknown source, posted on the VaGenWeb, Tazewell Co, website. Said to consist of Morris Griffith [for whom Morris Knob is named]; James Burke [who discovered Burke's Garden]; Moses Higgenbotham; Rees Bown; Thomas Maxwell; Wm Webb; James Moore; John Pogue; John Ridgel; Wm Wynne; Wm Butler; Jesse Evans; Elisha Cary; Wm Webb; John Taylor; David Ward; Peter Harmon; Samuel Ferguson; Wm Garrison; James Ogleton; Wm Wynne; Jacob Harmon; Wm Harmon; Benjamin Joslin; Wm Asbury.
Maxwell and Joslin were both later associated with the Harmons in Kentucky.

19 Dec 1774, Montgomery Co VA. William Menifee married Elizabeth Vardeman, daughter of John Vardman. Surety was William Harmon.
John Vardeman later lived in Lincoln Co, not far from Valentine Harmon and the Vardeman family intermarried with the family of Henry Harmon of Pulaski Co KY.

The question is whether or not this is the same William Harmon later living on Crooked Creek in Montgomery Co with John Harmon who married Elizabeth Byrd?
Another question - is this the William Harmon who entered & surveyed 100 acres in Pulaski Co KY?

There is also a William Harmon, born between 1760-1770 who lived in Bledsoe Co, TN and no one has been able to find his origins. Are any two of these Williams the same person?
