Samuel Harrod of Maryland

Helynn Carrier titled this branch of the Harrod family as One Branch with Some Good Support and she believed that this Samuel Harrod was a son of James Harrod, born ca. 1665 or earlier who came to Baltimore from Englandshire, Bedfordshire, England ca 1717 with his wife and sons.

Samuel Harrod probably born ca. 1690 or earlier, died ca. 1748; married first to an unknown woman, died before ca. ca. 1738; descendants believed to include:

1. Samuel Harrod, said to have died before 1822.

2. Edward Harrod, perhaps the man of that name who served in Bowman's Campaign (1780); petitioner from Lincoln Co., Kentucky 1784; appeared in Madison Co., Kentucky (formed 1785 from land previously in Lincoln County) ca. 1787 and census of 1810; appraised the estate of Val Haines in Lincoln Co., Kentucky in 1784, and would have been at least age 21; probably the man of that same name lived in Madison Co., Kentucky 1789 and again 8 Dec. 1800; wife, from whom he was divorced in Lincoln Co., Kentucky 13 Feb. 1800, was named Elizabeth. [Note: A man of this name served in the 14th Regiment, Virginia Continental Line; no pension application has been found. A man of this name was found by Mrs. Bernice Swainson in "Madison Co., KY History" in a report dated 16 Oct. 1779 to have been killed in defense of the Fort or in hunting.}

Samuel Harrod probably born ca. 1690 or earlier, died ca. 1748; married second ca. 1738/9 the widow Jemima Sherewood "she being a widow before", born ca. 1708, died ca. 1788. The children shown for this marriage and these descendants are based on "Chronological Report" and other sources are said to be:

3. Nellie-Hester Harrod, probably born ca 1742 or earlier, died before 1822.

4. James Harrod, born 4 April 1744, believe to be the man of that name whose stock mark was registered in Jefferson Co., Indiana 11 Aug. 1817. Perhaps he was the same man with wife, Elizabeth who conveyed to Isaac Harrod, 10 March 1818 100 acres, part of NE qtr. 34-3-8? Witnesses: Samuel Jackson, Jacob Rhodes. Land appears in records of Jefferson Co., IN in portion that was later in Scott Co., IN when that county was formed, died after 9 May 1821 in Scott Co., IN after 1820. (They seem to appear in the 1820 census of Scott Co., IN: 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 2 0 1) She was said to be the daughter of Daniel Stewart and his wife Rebeckah Ward. James was said to have been a pivate from Pennsylvania in the Revolutionary War.

"The Chronological Report" seems to pertain to the family of James Harrod who married Elizabeth Stewart and lived their later years in Scott Co., Indiana. They resided in a portion of Jefferson Co., Indiana that was taken to form Scott County.
