Elizabeth Duck, dau. of Ezekiel Duck and Hannah Hoope, b. May 5, 1660 at Lurgan in the Parish of Shankill, County Ardmagh, Ulster Province, Northern Ireland. On Nov. 27, 1678 there at the Lurgan Monthly Meeting of Friends, Elizabeth m. George Harlan, s. of James Harlan, b. at Bishoprick at County Durham in far northeast England where he was baptized March 11, 1650/1 at the Monastery of Monkwearmouth within the City of Sunderland, county Durham.
After bearing four children in Northern Ireland, Elizabeth and her husband emigrated to near Centerville, in present-day New Castle County, Delaware where five more children would be born.
It is unknown when Elizabeth died, but some would claim it was on Nov. 12, 1712. Unforunately, no Friends MM record contains the date of Elizabeth and husband George's death. George died testate and a widower calling himself in his will "of Brandywine Creek in the Township of Kennett & County of Chester in the Province of Pennsylvania," which today is in the southern portion of Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County, Penn. He died between Apr. 21, 1714 (the date of his will) and Oct 2, 1714 (the date of probate). Some claim George d. on July 5, 1714, but again no record can be found stating his actual date of death. Alpheus Harlan in his History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family claims only that George died in the "Fifth Month" (July) of 1714. Family records used by Alpheus Harlan state George and Elizabeth were buried at "the new burying grounds on Alphonsus Kirk's land, which was afterwards, and is yet today, the Center Meeting Burying Grounds" in Centreville, New Castle County, Delaware.
George Harlan and Elizabeth Duck had nine children who are outlined in their father's memorial.
