Pioneer Family Reunion Traces Harwood Roots to 1645 Conquest
About sixty descendants of William Webb Harwood, an early Ypsilanti settler, gathered at the old Harwood homestead west of Ypsilanti to mark the 116th anniversary of the family’s Michigan arrival. The gathering noted Harwood’s 1812 departure and 1824 return, with land transfers, 200 acres, and grants signed by Adams and Jackson. The event elected Harrison Harwood of Ann Arbor as chairman of the planning committee for next year’s reunion. Nettie E. Lamb is the oldest descendant living in Ypsilanti.
