I haven't had a chance to follow up on the Viscount/England connection to our Israel Lorton as yet.My ancestor Jacob Harmon was a German and lived in Berks County, Pennsylvania before arriving in Montgomery County, Virginia in the 1740s.This was well after Israel Lorton named his son Jacob.Jacob was a very common name among the Germans but not the English.Perhaps Israel married a German/Swiss girl. I believe that Israel Lorton was in Montgomery County, Virginia before the Harmons.
