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.
