About John Harmon

John Harmon his father, Jacob, and likely a brother named Paul, came to Anderson county, Tennessee at the turn of the century. The history books say John Harmon joined the Tennessee party bound for Missouri with one son, leaving behind Paul and his father's grave. In fact, he came with two sons: Washington Harmon [Washington Harmon], born 1815, and LIndsey Harmon, born 1816

Because John Harmon's Bible has been preserved, and it shows that Lindsay Harmon was born in Tennessee on Oct. 23, 1816 and the next child a girl, Keziah Harmon, born April 4, 1818 in Missouri, I think most likely the arrival of what has been called the Tennessee Colony from Campbell County, Tenn. was the spring of 1817. From Article in Moniteau County Historical Society by Roger Lee Miller dated Nov/Dec. 1992: (copied from a John Inglish profile on MyHeritage.)
