    1h. Mary Harrod, daughter of John, Sr., and Sarah (Moore) Harrod, married first, before 1763, Adam Newland, a brother of George Newland who married her sister Rachel. Adam died ca. March 4, 1785 and she received a warrant for a tract of land called "Green's Ville" in then Washington County, Pennsylvania, near "Drawl", the estate of her brother William Harrod, and on which a part of the present town of Jefferson now stands, in Greene County, Pennsylvania.

    An old deed shows that Mary married Evan Shelby before February 29, 1789, when Capt. Jesse Pigman, Jr., and wife Lurene, and Joseph Mills, guardian for Sarah Newland, sold a tract of land to Evan Shelby. Lurene and Sarah are presumed to be children of Mary and Adam Newland as were Jacob Newland who went to Bracken County, Kentucky, Richard Newland, and Isaac Newland of Washington County, Pennsylvania.
