I know there was a William Harland that sailed from Hull, Yorkshire also in 1774 and went to Fort Cumberland on the Ship Albion. See http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canwgw/archives/ns/chigrecords.txt I've been interested in him because of my research on my SCOTT ancestors and a bible they are listed in. A William HARLAND as well as a John HARLAND are mentioned in it as well, but earlier than the Yorkshire migration.
