3. Family Notes. From Harmon Family Genealogy Forum:
Luanne Spence Taylor wrote on 11 August 1998; "JOHN HARMON and his wife ELIZABETH of Wilkes Co NC circa before 1820. Were they of Germna extraction from Anson Co NC? Their daughter RACHEL (1777-) m. EZEKIEL BROWN (1770-1826) son of the immigrant WALTER BROWN and they moved to Waynesville Haywood CO NC Rachel had a sister MARY HARMON who m. HENRY KILBY."
Another one by Luanne Spence Taylor dated 16 October 1999; "I believe that this my 3rd great grandfather who was in Wilkes Co NC and had a wife named Elizabth. I come from their daughter Rachel born 7 Feb 1777 in Rowan Co. I believe that John was a Jr. I imagine that they are Germans and yet I see English Harmons in Perquimans Co NC with like first names. He was in Rev, perhaps in the begining as a Lolayist. Another John was in Tryon Co NC as soldier, too."

Johann Michael Harmon Research Notes:All Luanne Spence Taylor's Notes:
The name was originally HERRMAN but in old records, spelled the name HARMAN. The spelling evolved during the mid-1800's. They were of the Lutheran religion in Germany but affiliated with the Moravian Church in NC that had been established by other German immigrants.
To quote one bit of history, by Joseph Carroll Baird from Virginia Beach, VA, perhaps exagerated.
"On 1726, Heinrich Adam, Jacob, Valentine, Mathias, George, Daniel and Johann HERRMAN or HARMON came to America traveling along the Rhine River (through 80 ports) on a ship 'Charlotte" from Rotterdam. They left early in the year of 1725 and landed in Philadelphia, PA Jan. 1726. They each owned land in Philadelphia Co., PA. They sated there about 10 years. All except Mattias started the trip south through MD, VA and in NC. Some stayed along the James River in VA."
A entry in the Moravian Church Diary in NC - 18 Mar 1767, Captain ENGLISH of New River reported ADAM HERRMAN died four weeks ago.
