Notes for Jesse Harlan:
Jesse and Sarah imigrated from Pennsylvania to Maryland after the birth of their children and then they moved on
to Albemarle Co., Virginia.
The house where Jesse was born was built about 1725 by his grandfather George. It was enlarged at least once,
perhaps when John inherited it when he became 21 (1737) (or more likely, perhaps, when he married in 1740.). It
was inhabited by the Harlan family until 1950 when Annie Harlan died. The house title descended through the
family of Joel Harlan, the brother of John. [Source: Email message from Elgene A. Smith]
