Eleazer Harlow

Thomas Harlow

William Harlow

Robert Harlow

1. ↑ FamilySearch.org has born (bp?) 5 Oct 1624 England, son of William and Lucy Harlow. This information had no source associated with it, and is questionable.
2. ↑ Four children by this marriage, but no Mayflower line.
3. ↑ Six children by this marriage, but no Mayflower line.
4. ↑ 1652 only in record. Much more likely 1652/3 rather than 1651/2, based on births of other children.

DNA results R1b-FTA4444

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Harlow surname project Lists ten male Harlow's in Group: Lineage I - Plymouth (Haplogroup R). Three individuals have Big Y-700 tested to R-P312>ZZ11>U152>L2>DF103>FGC4166>BY1020>FTA4444

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of William Harlow to WGS/NGS test to refine it further and delineate descendant clades.
