Yes, I am the same Richard Davis from 12 years ago.I have been researching Harmons for almost 30 years.
There was a Peter Harmon (b. c1734) who lived at New River, Virginia on the land of Jacob Harmon Sr. (c1705-1756), so I would assume that Peter is the son of this Jacob Harmon Sr.In 1772 he and Jacob Harmon Jr moved to Bluestone Creek together.
Here is what I have on Peter Harmon (b. c1734), probable son of Jacob Harmon Sr.;
Peter Harmon was found living in "ye lower end of Augusta County in 1756" with the Crocketts and others (Virginia).On 27 Jul 1763 according to Moravian Church records in North Carolina, Peter Herrman from New River passed the mill and reported that the Northern Indians had killed many families on the Roanoke.He lived at New River in 1763 and later settled at Bluestone in 1772 with Jacob Harmon Jr. He was later living on Toms Creek (in present day Montgomery County, Virginia). He had a lawsuit in 1771 at Fincastle vs Frederick O'Donald. On 11 Sep 1772 Peter sued Jacob Lorton (brother-in-law of Jacob Harmon Jr.) at Botetourt County, Virginia.On 19 May 1773 he was appointed constable of Augusta County. In 1774 he was a soldier at Fincastle. On 13 Sep 1777 John Harmon (Dan Triggs Company) and on 6 Oct 1777 Peter Harmon (Dan Triggs Company) swore allegiance in Montgomery County, Virginia.In 1780 Peter owed money to Samuel Crockett's estate at Augusta County, Virginia.In 1781, Peter was living on Jacob Harmon's 1000 acres on Little Pine Run in Montgomery County (which Jacob Harmon Sr, bought on 13 Oct 1746)on which he made improvements.He was taxed at Montgomery County, Virginia in 1782 (tax records began in 1782).In 1782 Peter Harmon was the assignee of Mathias Harmon who was assignee of Daniel H. Johnson for 200 acres on Clinch River, Augusta County.On 17 Jan 1783 a survey was completed on 140 acres for Peter Harmon and another 200 acres on Clinch River, Montgomery County, by certificate dated 8 Sep 1781, which was transferred to Robert Whitley by order of Seth Johnson assignee of Henry Harmon assignee of Peter Harmon.He was appointed constable of Montgomery County, Virginia on 5 May 1790.
Your Paul Harmon (16 Jul 1764-13 Oct 1836)was possibly the son of the above mentioned Peter Harmon.When Paul was married on 12 Apr 1791 at Montgomery County to Clara Miller, the surety was Peter Harmon.The only Peter Harmon I know of who lived at Montgomery County at that time was the above mentioned Peter Harmon (b. c1734) probable son of Jacob Harmon Sr.He is also the right age to be Peter's son.
Here is what I have on Paul Harmon;
Paul Harmon, b. 16 Jul 1764. d. 13 Oct 1836, Campbell County, Tennessee.He married on 12 Apr 1791, Clary Miller at Montgomery County, Virginia.Surety on the marriage bond was Peter Harmon.Paul was taxed at Montgomery County from 1788 to 1794 next to Peter Harmon on Tom's Creek. Paul was an ensign in the Montgomery County militia on 3 Apr 1793.On 7 Oct 1794 Paul was appointed captain of the Montgomery County militia under Abraham Trigg.On 4 Sep 1795 Paul and his wife Clary sold 100 acres on Doe Creek on a branch of the New River in Montgomery County to John Mann. He was living at Anderson County, Tennessee in 1802 and 1805 (also a William Harmon there).On 15 Jan 1819 Paul Harmon of Campbell County, Tennessee sold 50 acres on Indian Creek to William Sharp.On 16 Dec 1821 he sold 100 acres to Jacob Hatmaker.In 1821 he sold 150 acres to John Harmon on Clinch River and Cove Creek in Campbell County.On 12 Jul 1824 he sold as Paul Harmon Sr., 25 acres to Paul Harmon next to John Harmon's land.
