John Harrod, possibly the son of James Harrod as shown by Lois J. Bakewell who cites her source as The Harrods of Happy Hollow by Homer C. Richie, was probably born in England ca 1707 or earlier. He died perhaps in Pennsylvania ca. 1754-58 and may have married as his first wife, Mary Ellis in King George Co., Virginia on 4 August 1728. Helynn Carrier corresponded with Barbara Chance Klosterman in 1990 who cites her father's notes and Mrs. Swainson. Ms. Klosterman provided Helynn with a photocopy of a recording of the marriage in the Register of St. Paul's Parish 1715-1798, King George Co., Virginia.
Mary (Ellis) Harrod apparently died before ca. 1734.
The descendants of John and Mary (Ellis) Harrod are said to be:
1. Thomas Harrod, perhaps born ca. 1724 who was probably on the tax list in Orange Co., Virginia in 1749 and/or Augusta Co., Virginia in 1779. He might have been the man of that name in court documents of Frederick Co., Virginia Order Book 12, page 59. (More on Thomas in a separate posting)
2. John Harrod probably born ca 1723-28, or Shenandoah Co., Virginia ca 1736 as shown on a Virginia IGI record. He may have died on the 26th or 28th December 1781, Bedford Co., Pennsylvania. He married 5 August 1758 to Rachel Shepherd, said to have been born ca. 1739 and died 10 November 1806 (Rachel Henton's notebook). (More on John Harrod Jr. in a separate posting.)

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.

Early Harrod Family in America
Helynn Carrier, in an attempt to sort out the early Harrod families and discover their origins, wrote a research paper titled, Another Fresh Start in The Search for "My" William Harrod: A Study Paper dated 7 Nov. 1998. She began this paper with the following notation:
This George Harrod would have to be at least 21 years of age to qualify for a land grant and thus was born before 1617. He could have had 30 or more grandsons by the year 1700.
Helynn goes on to provide a lineage based on her opinion that the relationships existed. She reached that conclusion "based on convincing evidence and/or the judgment of respected genealogical researchers."
1. James Harrod, born probably in England, but possibly born in this country ca. 1665 or earlier, and/or came to Baltimore from Englandshire, Bedfordshire, England ca. 1717 with his wife and sons: [Source: Lois J. Bakewell cites The Harrods of Happy Hollow by Homer C. Richie for this data. No documentary evidence was provided.]
Children of this James Harrod are listed as:
1. Samuel Harrod, probably born in England, but perhaps in this country ca. 1690 or earlier, died ca. 1748; married first to an unknown woman; married second to Jemima (____) Sherewood, "she being a widow before"
2. John Harrod, said to have been born in England, but probably in this country ca. 1703-07, died perhaps Pennsylvania ca. 1754-58; married first King George Co., Virgina 4 August 1728 to Mary Ellis; married second ca. 1734 to Sarah Moore, born New Kent or James City County, Virginia 7 Feb. 1713; daughter of John and Elizabeth (___) Moore.
3. Thomas Harrod probably born ca 1714 or earlier; perhaps the one of that name who married Catherine Winters
4. William Harrod?
5. James Harrod?
6 George Harrod?

Mrs. Bernice Swainson, in her research notes, shows "Vol. 47" (not identified further) in "Certificate of Head Rights" 50 acres "granted to Emigrants & patents (sic.) given Land Office At Richmond" showed George Harrod of Norfolk, VA 1637.Helynn considered that this evidence suggests that immigrant ancestors of the Harrod family may have come to this country far earlier than had been considered before.
This George Harrod would have to be at least 21 years of age to qualify for a land grant and thus was born before 1617. He could have had 30 or more grandsons by the year 1700.
