The 3rd Great Granddaughters of Middleton Harmon

Middleton Harmon was born in 1750, in Worcester, Maryland.

He married Isabella Callaway and had several children: Jacob, Elizabeth, Martha, Thomas, Nancy, Henry, Isabel, Sarah, Margaret Polly and Middleton Jr. But prior to having married and having children, Middleton fought for the independence of America.

Several history books tell of his life after the war, and some too speak of being drafted “Out” of service, but there is little evidence of the battles in which he fought.

Lieutenant Joseph Dashiel was in charge when drafting him “Out”. Samuel Smyley was also present at the time.

Middleton Harmon was one of people who pioneered Scioto County, Ohio; he and his family were among the very first to make Pond Run their home. Unfortunately, Middleton passed away soon after his son Middleton Harmon Jr.’s birth. By all accounts, he was admired and thought well of, as many children and grandchildren passed on his name to their children. A better tribute to a man’s life is not known by his 3rd great-grandchildren.
