In the book titled "History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family" by Alpheus H. Harlan printed in 1914, George Harlan #45 was the 2nd child born to James Harlan #11 and Elizabeth Heald on Feb 22, 1718/19, in Kennet Twp., Chester Co., Pa.; d. between 1760 and 1762 in Frederick Co., Va.; bur. there, at Tuscararo (spelling?) Meeting House. He married Ann Hunt, probably in Frederick Co., (now in Washington Co.), Md. They were the parents of 4 sons and 2 daughters:
#212 Jehu (1746-1806)
#213 Elijah (1748-1789)
#214 Catherine (1750-infancy)
#215 Silas (1753-1782)
#216 James (1755-1816)
#217 Elizabeth (1758-infancy)
PLEASE NOTE: The above book says the Tuscarora Meeting House is in Frederick Co., Va. The book titled "A History of the Valley of Virginia" by Samuel Kercheval pub. in 1833 says on page 83: "It is said that the spot where Tuscarora meeting house now stands, in the county of Berkeley, is the first place where the gospel was publicly preached and divine service performed west of the Blue ridge. This was and still remains a Presbyterian edifica."
Based on the above info, George Harlan and his wife Ann are most likely buried in this cemetery. There probably isn't any grave stone(s).
