It would be interesting to know how since he was a Quaker.
Early Harlans in Warren County, Ohio Were They Abolitionists?
by Jane Harlan
Warren County, Ohio, is a treasure of Harlan family history, especially for the descendants of George (#180) [THIS GEORGE HARLAN] and George (#672)[THIS GEORGE HARLAN'S SON]. There are numerous other Harlans who once lived there, and many are buried there.
The White Brick Meeting House in Waynesville, Ohio, pictured, was attended by numerous Harlans. It was built in 1811.
The Miami Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends opened on October 13, 1803. It still holds regular services on Sundays. The modern Quakers have remodeled the building so that it has running water and electricity. Worship is traditional. When I attended, everyone sat in silence for 45 minutes.
Inside the meeting house is a sign on the wall telling how the Quakers moved to the area for the express purpose of protesting slavery. It reads, "There is no parallel in human history to the migration of Quakers from the South to the Northwest Territory in that it was done as a moral protest against the treatment of another race rather than of those migrating."
Across the street from the meeting house is the cemetery where many Harlans are buried. There are only a few markers on the early graves in the cemetery. Families were not buried together. They were buried in the order in which they died. To find where a grave might be located, you have to find markers from the period and estimate about where your ancestor is buried. There were no flowers placed on the graves during my visits.
According to Alpheus Harlan's book, George Harlan (#180) and his family migrated to Warren County, Ohio, in 1805 or possibly earlier. Aaron Harlan (#671), the son of George (#180), is described as arriving in Warren County in 1796. Another son, George (#672) arrived in 1797. George's (#672) and Aaron's (#671) siblings, Sarah Harlan (#674), Samuel Harlan (#675)[OUR ANCESTOR], Moses Harlan (#676) and Silas Harlan (#677) all lived in Warren County at some point.
Waynesville, Ohio, promotes its history with a brochure telling of its role in the Underground Railroad. The Little Miami River in the area was a thoroughfare for fugitive slaves moving north from the Ohio River. Tunnels connected the Little Miami River with homes in Waynesville. There were numerous hideaways and caves where slaves were concealed before moving onward. Portions of the tunnels are still in existence today. One home even had a tower used to spot approaching slaves and their pursuers. Modern Waynesville is a town that profits from and promotes its history with numerous craft and antique shops.
George Harlan (#672) was the first Sheriff elected in Warren County in 1803. (One can speculate as to why a Quaker would have been elected Sheriff in a community committed to illegal activities spearheaded by the Quakers!) George (#672) eventually held a number of public offices, served as Associate Judge from 1810-1816 and as a member of the General Assembly from 1807-1808.
George Harlan (#672) and his wife, Esther, raised ten children starting out in a log cabin in 1797. The log cabin was eventually replaced by a large brick home that still stands and is occupied. It is located on Harlan Road just north of Ridgeville and four miles west of Waynesville. The current owners were thrilled to hear more about the people who built their home and to learn that it is much older than they thought. (Jane visited with them on July 7, 2001.) There are very old trees around the house that may have been planted by the original residents. Inside the house are a number of features that most likely date back to the Harlans.
Alpheus Harlan, in his book, tells of numerous Harlans who were born in this house. He describes the descendants of Moses Harlan (#2260) as occupying this house when his genealogy book was published in 1914. The current owners are not aware of any personal relationship to the Harlans.
One of the remarkable accomplishments of George (#180) and George (#672) was their ability to produce public-spirited descendants committed to the law and a fair legal system. George's (#672) son, Aaron Harlan (#2256), also held public offices including service in the U.S. Congress. Harlan Township, within Warren County, is named after him. U.S. Senator James Harlan (#2297) is a descendant of George (#180). James' father, Silas Harlan (#677), migrated to Warren County with his grandparents, George (#180) and Margery Harlan, and he was adopted and raised by them. The daughter of Senator James Harlan (#2297), Mary Harlan (#5864), married Robert Todd Lincoln.
George Harlan (#672) was the father of seven sons. Six of the seven became lawyers, judges, or in the case of Jacob (#2254), the Clerk of Court. A review of their history in Alpheus Harlan's book shows a remarkable interest in law and public affairs for one family. Justin Harlan (#2255) was a member of the convention that framed the Illinois Constitution of 1847. He served as a Circuit Judge in Clark County, Illinois, from 1848-1861. Aaron Harlan (#2256) served in both the Ohio General Assembly and the Ohio State Senate. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of Ohio in 1850 and 1851, and he later served in Congress. Robert Barclay Harlan (#2259) served in the Ohio House and as a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Clinton County. Newton Harlan (#2261), a lawyer from Washington D.C., died in Warren County while visiting his brother, Moses. Howard Harlan (#2262) was another lawyer practicing in Washington D.C.
In addition to having numerous specialty shops, antique shops and historical attractions, Waynesville, Ohio, also has a paved flat bike trail extending a number of miles along the Little Miami River.
Warren County, Ohio, has a number of resources for those who want to know more about their ancestors in that county. The Mary Cook Public Library is located at 381 Old Stage Rd., Waynesville, Ohio 45068. Lebanon, the county seat of Warren County, has the Warren County Historical Society Museum at 103 S. Broadway, Lebanon, Ohio 45036, and the Warren County Genealogical Society at 190 New St., P.O. Box 296, Lebanon, Ohio 45036.

McConnell had died about 1844. All the children were born in Ohio.
In the 1860 census, Columbus Ward 1, Franklin Co., OH, Zacheus was 45, a
carpenter born in Pennsylvania. He had a new wife, M. C., age 34, born in
Pennsylvania. Catherine E is shown as Elvira. I believe Elvira was her
middle name. She was 15, b. OH. Daniel was 11. The way its written it
looks like Danico. William was 5, b. OH. A daughter age 7/12 was listed.
It looks like her name was Zonetta.
