  There is much out there on the Internet that is not quite accurate about John L. Harmon. His middle name is often seen as Lincoln - but after twenty years, I've never found actual documentation of such a middle name. The initial "L" appears in deeds several years after his death, but not earlier. His date of birth is questionable. It is sometimes seen as 1750, but I believe that 1766-7 is much more likely. He has been accepted as a Patriot by NSDAR based on the earlier date but there were multiple John Harmon/Harman/Herrmans living in the western wilderness of Virginia at this time and few records. Here are the reasons the later birth is more likely: There are tax records in Montgomery Co VA, and his marriage record that suggest he came of age just before his marriage in December of 1787. A website describing a visit to the old Cotton Cemetery (which once belonged to John Harmon and his heirs) cites a stone for John Harmon with the dates: born, 1767; died 1825. (See Source below) In 1810, Pulaski Co, KY, John Harmon was age 26-45, indicating a birth date between 1765 and 1784, but certainly not as early as 1750. I've never found an 1820 census that matched his family makeup at that time - he may have been moving from Ohio to Indiana. The earlier date of birth, calls into question any Revolutionary War service, as he would have been too young to serve. His death date is often quoted as 15 August 1837 - sometimes that is quoted as an "estate settlement". That date is neither. John L. Harmon was certainly dead prior to 1830 when his wife Elizabeth is head of a household in Pike Township, Marion Co, Missouri. There is a DEED in Marion Co IN, Deed Book I (the letter, not the number 1), p.353-4. The heirs of John L. Harmon, including his widow Elizabeth, sold six acres of land to Cyrus Cotton, EXCEPTING the cemetery where John Harmon and ____ (unfortunately there is no name) are buried. There is a probable daughter named Elizabeth for her mother about whom no records have been found - perhaps she died as a child and was the other person buried in the cemetery as all the other children are accounted for in this deed. The deed is dated 13 March 1837. It was not proved until 15 August 1837 because of the many heirs that had to sign. The deed describes boundaries which belong to other Harmon family members. (See Source) Although there are documents showing John Harmon's middle initial as "L". I have yet to see any documentation that his middle name was Lincoln. Would appreciate any proof.
