Good day to visit these men if you're living around Bond County, Illinois.
BONHAM HARLAN-- Born 1785 in Lincoln County, Kentucky. Died 1840. Buried in Camp Ground Cemetery in Greenville. 2nd W. Tennessee Militia. (I had to look up Lincoln County and found it was named after Revolutionary War General Benjamin Lincoln, not the later president. Abraham Lincoln was not born in 1785.)
