This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harlan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QKB.2ACI/216.1.1 Message Board Post: First, I am NOT a Harlan, but I have recently come across personal writings telling of the early history of Pickens Co, AL and Noxubee Co., MS. Since my cousin married a Harlan, when reading this information, I picked up on the name. It seems that the Harlans were some of the first residents of Pickens Co and then they moved to Noxubee Co. If you "want" the information, I can probably provide more details.
