The following photos and Harclerode Family history has been contributed by Jil Loewit at loejil@hotmail.com

"I am a descendant of John Harclerode and Eva Diehl / Harclerode."
 
Both of these families arrived in Bedford County from the area of Loudoun County, VA. in
the mid 1780s. John Harclerode was a son of John & Barbara Smouse / Harclerode
and one of possibly 15 children. Eva Diehl / Harclerode was a daughter of Samuel
& Margaretha Ritchey / Diehl, who moved from the Lovettesville area
to Friends Cove in Bedford County.
 
Jil's line descends from John & Eva through their son John and his son, David Harclerode Sr.
who married Mary Wiles. David & Mary's son Samuel Francis Harclerode was Jil's
Great Grandfather.
 
Samuel Francis Harclerode married Minnie Arvadia Brown in 1890 and by 1909
they were living near Everett, Pa.
