My Family Tree

This is a letter from Governor Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, Ohio to J.L.( James Lewis) Harman of Bowling Green, Kentucky. It is not dated, but Judson served as Governor from 1908 to 1912. In 1912, Judson Harmon was a candidate for President of the United States. I believe that his letter was written at that time. James Lewis Harman was born in 1874 and was President of Bowling Green Business University beginning in 1921.

"The original home of the Harmans in England was Norfolk. I had the pleasure of visiting the capital, Norwich, three years ago; and found a number of them still there. Judge H. H. Lurton, whose mother was a Harman, discovered this on one of his visits to England."
