From Sellers History of Marion County

Another branch of the family is on the Back Swamp, above Ariel. Old man Hugh Harrelson, down there, was a well-to-do man; married a Miss Smith, of Horry, and raised a family of five sons and five daughters. John E., Hugh G., David J., Samuel and another not now remembered; the daughters were Mrs. William J. Atkinson, Mrs. James Atkinson, Mrs. Prudence Johnson, Mrs. John D. Sessions, and Miss Theresa, who died unmarried before her father. The old gentleman left a last will and testament and, by means which it is not necessary to state, it got into the Courts, and it was in some form or another in the Circuit and Supreme Courts of the State for twelve or fourteen years. This is stated from the personal knowledge of the writer, as he had to do with the litigation from start to finish. Of the old man Hugh Harrelson's sons, Hugh G. married, I think, a Miss Williamson, and died young, leaving his widow and some children; don't know what has become of them. John Ellis Harrelson married, and raised a large family of children, sons and daughters, who are among our citizens now; some unknown, but those that are known are good men and prospering. Ham Harrelson, a son, is one of the leading citizens of his community. John E. Harrelson died about two years ago; he was an energetic and persevering man, and substantially a good citizen. The other sons of old Hugh Harrelson all died unmarried and childless. It is assumed that these Back Swamp Harrelsons are of the same family as the Buck Swamp Harrelsons; that they are all collaterally related; that they all had the same common ancestor.

Hugh seems to have moved to Columbus County, late in life. Census date is needed, but children of Hugh and "Miss Smith from Horry" match. Though he and Miss Smith were "born in Horry," they were in Marion County for a number of years and thus noted by Sellars, later moving to Columbus County - probably with one of their children if that is where they died.

Many of the Harrelsons moved back and forth between Horry County and Marion County, South Carolina and Columbus County, North Carolina. They were as Lawyer Sellers noted, all connected and knew it.
