Becky Not sure if this helps, but I wonder if the Henry Harmon is the one known as "Skygusta", son of Heinrich Adam and Louisa Katerina Hermann. His wife was Nancy Wilburn. (Hard to keep track of all those Harmans.) Henry is said to have lived in NC and died in Tazewell County, VA in 1822.

William Davis's wife was Priscilla unknown. Earliest deed for William is May 4,1790 where he bought land "containing two hundred acres and joining the land the said Davis now lives" from Henry Harmon and wife Nancy on Walker's Creek, Wythe Co. > Any and all information is appreciated. > Becky > > ==== SW_VA Mailing List ==== > #6 HELP is available from the sysop/owner anytime at: > [email protected] > > ============================== > Search more than 150 million free records at RootsWeb! > http://searches.rootsweb.com/

Becky, You will find that some of the Harmons of Tazewell co., Va. came from Floyd co., Va. Also, there was a Harmon family who settled very early near Burkes Garden.. I don't have the names, but there are records of them in some histories of Southwest Va.. They were very early settlers in this area of Va... Yours having been in NC suggests that they were possibly related to those in Floyd and Carroll co., Va.., not far from the NC line.. There was much mining in those areas very early and they may have been involved in mining there as well as cola mining in Tazewell co., Va... Suggestions you might consider.. G.
