    1. [VABOTETO-L] Harbison Family in Augusta County and Botetourt Counties in VA, then in Lincoln, Mercer, to Boyle County Kentucky
    2. Larry Milnes
    3. My gggg grandfather John Harbison was believed to have born in Pennsylvania in or about 1747. He is believed to have a brother James, b. 1730, and Arthur, b. 1752. The family is believed to have migrated to Augusta County, VA. John Harbison is recorded in Chalkley's Journal as having been licensed to marry in Virginia on May 1, 1765. I am a descendent of Cynthia Harbison, born 1836, Indiana, m. Samuel B. Hamilton, June 17, 1856, Henderson County, Illinois We have found little information re the Harbison (James, John, and Arthur) brothers in Augusta County since May 1965. I suspect they were living in the portion of Augusta County which subsequently (1770) became Botetourt County; thus we turn to Botetourt County for information. I would appreciate any information anyone can provide on the Harbison family, including: a.. Parents of James, John, and Arthur; b.. The names of any brothers and sisters of James, John, and Arthur c.. Relatives of James, John, and Arthur; d.. First and last name of John Harbison's bride; e.. Where the family lived in Virginia; f.. When did the Harbisons move on to the Lincoln/Mercer/Boyle Counties area ; g.. Locations of any Harbison Cemeteries in Kentucky; h.. Dates and places of birth of John's children: i.. Elizabeth, b. August 18, 1766; j.. Eleanor, b. 1768; k.. Mary, b. 1769; l.. James, b. 1770; m.. Agnes, b.. 1771; n.. Rachel; b. 1774; o.. Ann, b. 1776; p.. John Jr., b 1778; q.. Immigration information on the Harbison's, including but not limited to r.. Ship(s) on which they arrived; s.. Residence before immigrating to the US; t.. Relation of James, John, and Arthur to any other Harbisons, if known; I would also appreciate learning of any references in which I might be able to obtain the above information. James, John, and Arthur are known to have finally settled in the Perryville (Lincoln County, Mercer County, and subsequently sectioned out as Boyle County) area. Other spellings which might be applicable include Harberson and Harbeson - and perhaps more. I would be delighted to particularly hear from other Harbison Family researchers who might have information relative to the arm of the family I am researching. Larry Milnes
