Tymothy Harney was born in Somerset Co., Maryland around 1655. His parents may have immigrated from the British Isles; who they were I do not know. Tymothy spent his life in Somerset Co., which is located just south of Delaware on the east side of Chesapeake bay. He married Elizabeth Greene the day after Christmas in 1682. They had at least six children. Tymothy died around 1731.
Tymothy's eldest son, Thomas, was born in August of 1686. He also spent his life in Somerset Co., marrying a Miss Selby probably just before 1710. One of their son's, Thomas Jr., was born in 1710. He married Hannah Mills and the couple moved a short way north to Sussex Co., Delaware around 1730. Thomas died in 1796.
Shortly after Thomas and family moved to Delaware, their fifth child, Jenathan, was born. He served in the Revolutionary War as a Lieutenant in Haslett's Delaware Regiment, enlisting on 16 January 17761. During the Battle of Long Island (27 August 1776), he was captured by the British and spent 15 months in a prison ship anchored off New York2. Although he was exchanged in November 1777, his health was broken and he did not return to active duty3. He died in 1784 in Sussex. Co., Delaware.
Jenathan's son William, born in 1763, moved over the Appalachian Mountains to Fayette Co., Kentucky sometime in the 1790's.
