I have two Harrod lineages that I have been forever trying to sort out. One of them is Willam Harrod's b. 1764 line. Much of what I know comes from a manuscript that Hellyn Carrier sent me some years ago. I am wondering if anything new has been learned. Especially about William's father as that was rather speculative.
Keith,
I have attempted to continue Helynn's research and I can't find proof of William's father, but circumstantial records suggest that William's father was John Harrod Jr, brother of the James Harrod who settled Harrodstown (later Harrodsburg) Kentucky.
I intend to post my information here when I have time to sort it out.
I found that John Harrod Jr. was in western Virginia (later became Berkeley Co., WV) at the time that our William was born. John Jr's other brothers were in other areas at the time our William was born.
It appears that John Jr. returned to Pennsylvania after his father died (while our William was a boy).
If it's true that our William was born in Berkeley Co., WV, it appears that John Harrod Jr and Rachel Shepherd were his parents.
