"..." "About Capt. Henry "Old Skygusty" Harmon
The following is copied with grattitude from Z. T. Noble:

"Tradition has it that Henry Harman, Sr. was born on the Isle of Mann in 1726 to Heinrich Adam and Katrina Louisa Herrmann as they were on their way from Germany to America in 1726. Henry's father was one of the first settlers on the New River, his name being recorded (Adam Harman) in a 1745 Buchanan and Patton Survey as having a place on the New River. During the unrest caused by the French and Indian War, the Harman men became noted fighters against Indians. Henry was reportedly one of the two sons of Adam Harman who helped him rescue Mary Draper Ingles at the end of her long ordeal returning from Shawnee captivity in 1755.

"When so many settlements were being attacked and fear reigned on the western waters, Henry and several other Harman family members moved to North Carolina and became part of a Moravian community at Winston-Salem. His name appears in Moravian records from 1762-1770. Henry married Nancy Wilburn, and they had nine children: Daniel (1760-91), Henry, Jr. (1763-1809), Adam (1765-1830), George (1767-????), Mathias (1769-1802, Hezekiah (1771 [or '72]-1845), Rhoda (1773-1845), Elias (1780-1856), and Louisa (17??-????).

"Henry, Sr. was part of a search party led by his brother Mathias that attempted to rescue Jenny Wiley from the Shawnee in 1789. Henry and his two sons were involved in several battles with Shawnee warriors including one on the Tug River in 1788 in what is now McDowell County, WV. Near Thorpe, WV, there is a monument to Henry and his sons George and Mathias commemorating that battle. Because of Henry's bravery in fights with the Indians, they dubbed him "Old Skygusta," which means great warrior.

"Henry built a home at Hollybrook where many of his family members are buried, but only a handful of graves are marked. The Cemetery is on private property next to the Hollybrook Community Center.
