Notes

Updated December 12, 2022. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) Laughlin, Samuel Hervey, "A Diary of Public Events and Notices of My Life and Family and Of My Private Transactions including Studies, Travels, Readings Correspondence, Business Anecdotes, Miscellaneous Memoranda of Men, Literature, Etc From January 1st, 1845 to August, 1845 and Sketch of my Life from Infancy"

"John LAUGHLIN, my great grandfather, came from Ireland, with his family, consisting of three sons, John, James, and Alexander, James being the eldest, and Alexander the youngest, and three daughters, Jane, Elizabeth and Margaret, and on arriving in the then Colonies, at Philadelphia, about the year 1740, removed first to Chester County and then to the vicinity of where Harrisburg now stands in Pennsylvania, now Dauphin County I believe. About the year 1760, as Benjamin SHARP, my great uncle believes, (see his letter to me in my books of letters of 4 January, 1845, written from Warren County, Missouri) and about the year 1764, as my father remembers from family tradition, my great grandfather and his family, and many of his connections, intermarriages with the SHARPs, DUNCAN's, etc. having been formed, removed from Pennsylvania to Virginia."

"James... died... about 1811 in Washington Co. Virginia, at the place at the mouth of Spring Creek where Jonathan KING, Esq. now lives. His children married and removed West. His two sons, James and Alexander, died in Rutherford Co. Tenn. many years ago."

"My grandfather... had a sister named Mary or Polly, married to a brother on my Grandfather LAUGHLIN, named James, who died at the mouth of Spring Creek where Jonathan KING now lives, Washington Co Va. His son James died in Rutherford Tennessee, about 1817---whose son James Y. died also there---and his other son, Steth Mead, died in Arkansas some years since."
