HARNED FAMILY CEMETERY

The following is taken from "Old Graveyards in Orange County,
Indiana", State Historical Society,
DAR State Genealogy Library, Indianapolis,
Indiana.
Obliterated graveyard with well cut stones lying on the ground in a tangle of briars. To the passerby there is nothing other than a few evergreens to indicate the existence of such a place. It is a rocky hillside; fence broken and gravestones trampled by cattle. No trace of Harned Chapel constructed in 1845. The Harneds were early settlers in Orange County and Washington County, Indiana. They were Quakers descended from Josiah Harned, Revolutionary War Soldier of Virginia who married Jane Harmer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania January 24, 1768. They had two sons, William and John William. John William married Margaret Shyrock and moved from London County, Virginia in 1815, entered land in this section February 3, 1818. Presumably he is buried in Harned Cemetery, the family cemetery, although there is no trace of a stone marking his grave.
Ed note: This cemetery is located about 1/3 mile southwest of the present day(1997) Harned Chapel Cemetery and just east of the Valeene to south * SR37 pike directly across the road from the current day farm of Wayne Stroud. It is on a tree covered knob and difficult to find.
