Hannah Bagwell, lives at Glendale, and
two of the children of Joseph Gist Harlan at
Union. Others of his descendants reside in
Union, and adjoining counties that may be
reached ifany one has any information to
give, or a letter to me will be highly appreci-

Quite number of the children of Samuel
removed into Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas and Texas, but do not know the Post

went into Pamela county, Miss. grand

There should be some one yet living in
Union that could recollect Samuel Harlan
and his family. No doubt families are yet
in Union with whom his family married.
These could give some information. Await
